Acrobat Standard 8 not responding

So i got a license of Acrobat Standard 8 installed on my Windows Server 2008 but for all my users on WTS it keeps not responding.
I open the software, start using and it just stop responding, so i close, and open again and do the same thing. Sometimes it stop respoding even before i start using it.
Any ideas ?
My server is OK, since any other program works fine, such as office and ERP.

I purchased Acrobat Standard, not realizing it is not compatible with MAC. I need to exchange. I just chatted with a so-called "specialist" who told me to sign in and download the same program. I got the same blasted message. I need help. I need to exchange this program for one that is compatible with my MAC. The standard is of no use to me at all. I feel like I have been ripped off

Hi Kargi,
We are working on getting things straightened out for you. You should be hearing from a Customer Care agent shortly.

I want to download the 'TRIAL' version of Acrobat 'Standard' not the 'Pro' version

I want to buy the Acrobat Standard version for my company's laptop, but I need to make sure that Acrobat Standard is enough for my work or not. However, I can download only the Pro version of Acrobat which I don't need to. How can I have a trial version of Acrobat Standard

Hi Nawanat,
You cannot install a trial version of Acrobat Std. as it's not available.
The main differences between Acrobat 11 Pro and Std. are http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
You can use the trial version of Pro for 30 days and compare the features you require and those you can afford to miss in the Std. version

Acrobat standard not downloading

I have bought acrobat standard and it wont download

Hi colette001,
Have you bought the subscription or the retail license?
If subscription then you need to download from: http://www.cloud.acrobat.com/
If retail you can download from: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
In case you still are not able to download then use a different browser and check.

Persistent Acrobat Reader (not responding) error

Good evening, my name is Tom and I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.
Since we took delivery of this Dell PC and I first loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader 10 it has never worked. I'm running Windows 7 and Norton 360. I estimate I have uninstalled and reloaded this program six or more times
Every time I try to use Acrobat Reader I have to go through the "Do you want to allow this program........." step to get past the firewall. Then a Reader window pops up and a small asterik-like icon in the gray space to the right of the document pane begins filling in from the 12 o-clock position. It usually stops filling in by the 6 O-clock position and then the "(Not Responding)" message shows up in the Acrobat Title Bar. Here is an example from earlier today, about 1830 hours UTC on Wednesday, 11 December 2013.
Meanwhile Task Manager is singing a different tune.
So, this begs the question, what is AcroRd32.exe*32 doing with two sessions, one with 348K of memory and 25% of my CPU and the other session using 00% of my CPU and 5,228K memory?This is the status since 1900 Hours UTC this date. It's now 0222 hours UTC on 12 December 2013 and I've run out of ideas.
I'd appreciate any helpful suggestions from the forum community.
Thank you and good night (EST),
Tom

Pat, thanks again.
Please remember I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0 not 10.
I unzipped your registry file and loaded it into this PC. Then I restarted this computer and launched Adobe Reader. This time the asterik-like icon completed 3/4 of a rotation before I saw the "(not responding)" error message. Also, I have two entries in Windows Task Manager, Processes tab. The first AcroRd32.exe *32 uses 00% CPU and 41,752K Memory. The second AcroRd32.exe *32 entry uses 25% of the CPU and 6,924K memory.
Thanks for providing me some progress toward solving this issue.

Acrobat XI "Not Responding" when Launched

The hang time varies - it's been as long as 60 seconds - but there's an issue every time I open a PDF with Acrobat. The only exception is if I already have Acrobat open with another document. There are no updates available (11.0.05) and I've uninstalled/reinstalled. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and CC.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. Hope everyone's having a great day!

Hi,
I created a redaction mark on some text and then applied redaction. It worked fine for me. I used Windows 7 64 bit machine. If the workflow that you are doing is different from what I did, then please give the detailed steps.
Also, please try creating a simple pdf file containing only text and check if the redaction is getting applied. If the redaction is getting applied successfully in it, then please share a pdf file in which applying redactions freezes Acrobat.
Thanks,
Nupur

My adobe acrobat 9 pro is not responding

I have had Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro installed for 3 years now. Then I got a message that I had to uninstall and reinstall which I did. However, Adobe is not responding when I try to move around a PDF or try to print a page. Any ideas? Does my purchase of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro expire? @

Hi Eric Hillmann,
May i know which operating system you are using?
Have you tried to repair the Acrobat? What exactly you are trying to do when Acrobat is not responding?

Acrobat 'not responding' while exporting a pdf

I am attempting to export my physics notes into a PowerPoint format. However, the process stops and Acrobat is 'Not Responding.' I just downloaded Acrobat today and need these notes for tomorrow. Is there any troubleshooting that I can do?

As a quick possible solution, I would suggest you print the PDF to a new PDF. Then try the export on the new one. This is not normally considered a good route, but it might solve the problem in the short term. Also, be sure you have installed the updates (from the Help menu).

Acrobat Standard 8 - why is the digital signature not responding?

Using Acrobat version 8 and it is fully updated.
When I try to insert a digital signature, it freezes and when I eventually close the digital signature window, it says it is not responding and the program shuts down.
This is using a document that I use frequently and only recently started having problems with the digital signature.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Thank you!

Hi,
I'd like to clarify some points. You use a digital ID to create a digital signature, not unlike how you use a pen to create (what we refer to as) a wet ink signature. When it comes to applying a digital signature to a document, you can sign just about any blob of electronic data. You can sign your e-mail or a MS Word document as well as a PDF file. The signature itself lives either in the document (that's how Acrobat does it when signing a PDF file), or it can be an external attachment (that's what the smime.p7s file is you might see attached to some e-mail messages).
Here is where I'm a bit confused. How many digital IDs do you have access to? If you only have one, does it cause Acrobat to lock up when signing a specific PDF file or when you try to sign any PDF file? Same question if you have more than one digital ID available to sign with, they all cause Acrobat to lock you when signing just one specifc file or any file? When you try to sign, are you signing an existing signature field, or are you creating a signature on the fly, be it either visible or invisible? If it is just one file that is causing the problems then that file is probably corrupt. If it's any file then it is a more systemic problem and I don't have an off the shelf answer for you.

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI Not Responding

This is the third time this has happened. While scrolling down the page, Acrobat stops responding. I have to uninstall and reinstall the software and then it works again. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening again?

Anubha,
I did not receive a response to my comment (#7, Jan 29) for my specific situation. In it are all the details that have been requested by Adobe more than once. No, I have never used a third party pdf creator. If this is a Win 7 problem, as suggested by another member, we won't get any help from MS as the have stopped supporting Win 7. This problem may be an interesting marketing ploy for us to go to Win 8 or 10 and or buy a new computer.
Here is Item #7 copied and pasted to hopefully save some time.
"I am experiencing the same random "Not responding" issue. Here is some additional information. I am using Acrobat Pro 11.0.10 installed as part of Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. The Creative Cloud indicates the SW is up to date even though the update history does not show any updates applied.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit. This happens in all applications where I use the Print command and select Adobe PDF printer. It does not matter when the files are created. Another symptom is the "Convert" button in Internet Explorer (v11.0.9600.17501) does not work. Nothing happens when it is clicked.
Hopefully we have provided sufficient information for Adobe to find the SW issue and fix it.
Ironically, Acrobat has been one of my most reliable go to tools."

"Update server not responding" when trying to update Acrobat 9 Pro

I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop computer and on my laptop. I was able to download and install the latest updates to the copy on my desktop computer (so that it is now version 9.3.0), using Help>Check for Updates.
When I try the same command on my laptop, I get and error message that states "The update server is not responding, which means it may be offline at the moment, or the Internet or firlewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later." I tried several times yesterday and today with the same error. The message pops up immediatley; it doesn't even seem to actually try to connect.
I disabled my firewall and antivirus software and still get the same result. I uninstalled then reinstalled Acrobat and still get the same result.
I looked online at Adobe.com to see about downloading and installing the updates manually, but it's difficult for me to tell which updates I need. Some are for other languages and some are for 64-bit but I have Windows 7 32-bit.
A call to tech support was no help. The agent seemed to think because I installed verison 9.0 that I only needed the one English update listed on the download page under 9.0, and not any of the later updates. . . And he said that Adobe recommends manually installing updates from Adobe.com rather than using the Check for Updates command (?!).
Anyway, does anyone know what might be causing this problem with the adobe updater? Maybe I need to reinstall the updater (where do I find it?).
OR
Can someone tell me which of the updates listed on the Acrobat dowload page I should manually install to bring my product up to date?
[Running Windows 7 32-bit on both machines]
Thanks.

Hi,
Which version of Acrobat do you have ?
(Launch Acrobat and Go to Acrobat->About Adobe Acrobat menu item and check the version )
Also, can you ping following urls ?
armmf.adobe.com
armdl.adobe.com
ardownload.adobe.com
Are these urls reachable ?
Also, you can check the contents of host file /etc/defaults/host to see that none of the ips are redirected.
One more thing that you could try:
If you have firewall on, could you please disable the firewall and then try the update. Does it works now ?

How do I resolve this issue?

LorettaKallen are you trying to install Adobe Acrobat Standard 11 utilizing the Adobe Application Manager? Do you receive the same error message if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox?

Acrobat XI Pro "Not Responding

I recently updated to Windows 8 Professional and Acrobat worked like a charm for 3 days with instantaneous reponse.
Now progressively I am back to the old problem that I had under Windows 7 and with Acrobat X and 9 - Whenever I open a new PDF it takes an extraordinary amount of time to open and I usually get the message "not responding" with an opaque window.
We have had this problem on 2 PC's.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with you, restarting the print spooler tends to work for me to get Acrobat working again about 50% of the time. Unfortunately for me, tonight is not in that percentage range.
Ironically the reason I always have to turn the print spooler back off is because when it is on, Adobe Illustrator gives me the "not responding" treatment!
The amount of time I spend troubleshooting my Adobe programs is oftentimes greater than the time I actually get to spend using them for their intended purpose!
Very, very, very frustrating! And yes, I have followed all of the tech advice etc., and the things still glitch up. I'm a student now, but I can't even imagine having to
cope with these problems after I graduate and begin my career in the working world!
Adobe, if you are listening: Please fix the bugs in your programs! My schoolwork is suffering because of them; which also means my health is suffering because I don't get any sleep since
I am having to spend so many hours fighting to get anything to work! (Illustrator, Acrobat, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, etc., etc., etc.!) Also it is costing me grade points since my work has been
late at times due to these bugs. Tonight is a prime example, which is why I am here in this forum trying to find a way to fix Acrobat so I can make a simple PDF (since none of the other applications will work, either!).
Paying too much for too little. Very dissatisfied customer. /Rant.
