Acrobat Viewer - How can I install?

Hello.
I am using a Unix OS with no Acrobat Reader to download.
However there is this Java-Based Acrobat viewer I could download.
I downloaded the all Java-enabled OS variant as well as the Windows variant.
I tried to install
- the all Java-enabled OS variant under Unix (JRE 1.5.1)
- the all Java-enabled OS variant under Windows XP (JRE 1.4.2)
- the Windows-only variant under Windows XP
I called the installer with "root" rights (Unix) / from a user account with local administrator rights (Windows).
In all three cases the installer failed; under Unix the installer simply hangs; under Windows both installers (all OS and Windows-only) give an error message.
How can I install Acrobat Viewer ?
Thanks.
Martin

You'll need to be more specific in your query. When you say, a Unix OS, what kind of an OS are you running? Are you aware that the Adobe Reader is now available on x86 Linux, SPARC Solaris, RISC HP-UX and AIX?
I don't know if the Java based version is supported.

  • How can I install Adobe Acrobat without installing the browser extensions?

    Hello All,
    I am a computer Technician at a high school and we have very strict browser requirements for different services. We need to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDF's, and other tasks, and we need to use Chrome to open Adobe Reader files. The issue is that I want my 3 browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) to open PDF files using Adobe Reader XI. All my plugin settings are correct to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's, but it either downloads a PDF to the computer, or opens up in the browsers default reader (Chrome does this), or opens up to a blank page with a blank error message. I went into the programs Internet settings for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and it's telling me the browser opens them up using Adobe Acrobat (With no option to change the setting). The problem is only solved when I uninstall Adobe Acrobat.Then I am able to open PDF's in Adobe Reader just like I want (but this gets rids of Acrobat). This leads me to believe that when I install Adobe Acrobat, there is a registry key or something that is telling the computer to open PDF's in browsers using Acrobat. My initial question is this: How can I install adobe Acrobat without linking it to the browser. I JUST want Adobe Acrobat as a program installed on the computer.
    Additional Info:
    - I build a computer image and use that image on several computers. This issue persists with all of the computers I installed the image on.
    - I am using Adobe Reader 11 (Now DC, but I am willing to use either) and Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 (I think it's version 9?)
    Thanks for the help.
    - Charlie

  • How can i install Adobe Acrobat 11 in german language

    Hello,
    a simple question.
    how can i install Adobe Acrobat XI Prof. in german language?
    I have the donwload option for german and this will download the AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe.
      --> Acrobat Professional
    11.0
    German
    Windows
    Acrobat Professional 11.0 WIN ESD D
    When i start the installation with this donwloaded file i have only Enlgish as an language option.

    Hi Sukrit,
    thanks, but that doesn't fixed my problem.
    Now i have a language selection in the setup process. i select German, the setup/installation windows are in German.
    after installation the application is in English.
    i can't change the language in the preferences. there is only English. the option "Choose at application startup" will be ignored. also when i start the application as administrator
    It is possible that our company license key is language specific?
    i try a normal installation with key and one as trail version. the trial version is in German.
    i see this language setup option only if i select trial version during the installation.
    As information, the OS is Windows 7 Ent x64 English and the regional / location settings is Germany.
    regards

  • How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

    I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location.  How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\?  I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data.  I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\.  Any suggestions?
    Sincerely,
                    LT Gannon

    having data on a different drive is a good idea.  installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea.  but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:
    mac:  ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/11.x/11.0.00/misc/

    In 2012, I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended (education edition) for Mac. Now I want to install it on my new Macbook. I have the correct serial number and product code, but I receive an error message: the software may be a false copy etc....What to do?

    Here is a copy of the error
    This means : Installation failed.
    Verification of the Adobe Software failed
    The product you want to install is no valid Adobe product and seems to be falsified.

    If your serial number is listed as being valid at http://www.adobe.com/ then I would recommend obtaining a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can find details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • How can I install PPD?

    Hello:
    I'm using AI CS3 (PC version). I want to save the ps file for distiller and change it be pdf format file. After I installed full set CS3, I have distiller9 and acrobat pro 9 (because I installed some from CS4 too). When I click print, I can choose "Adobe PostScript File" in "Priner" box. But there is no selection of "AdobePDF 9.0" in "PPD" box. The selection in PPD box are "Other (unknown)" & "Device Independent" only. So, how can I install or add items inside this box? Thanks for help!

    I think your question would be better answered in the 'general' Illustrator forum you have posted in the 'scripting' forum… Sorry but I for one know nothing of PC's…

  • My Elements and Premier DVDs are corrupted physically. How can I install them via online instead?

    I bought Photoshop Elements and Premeire Elements 10 sometime ago and forgotten about it. The box was sealed but the DVDs had streaks for white stuff and thus the drive is unaable to read. How can I install it via online? Please lead me to the link that I can key in the serial numbers as I am unable to find in this website. Thank you. As they have never been installed, the serial number is not in the my Adobe ID account yet. Hence I wish I can freshly install them via online. Thank you.

  • How can i install any program using java code

     
    Hi friends,
    i want to know how can i install any software using c# code.

    Hi,
    You may change your title, Since this is C# forum.
     >>i want to know how can i install any software
    usingc# code
    So what kind of your software?
    In C#,we can install and uninstall "*.msi" files (setup).
    The code to install software without user interface is:
    private void installSoftware()
    Process p = new Process();
    p.StartInfo.FileName = "msiexec.exe";
    p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/i \"C:\\Application.msi\"/qn";
    p.Start();
    For more detailed information, please refer to article
