Acrobat X pro on a Win 8.1 PC-System uses about 5 GB of disk memory

I've installed Acrobat X pro on a Win 8.1 PC-System. I´m surprised, because Acrobat occupies about 5 GB of disk the system-disk space.
Why there are such high memory requirements?
Best regards
Michael

Thanks for your fast reply!
Although Windows keeps multiple copies of things, I never noticed such an extreme effect.
In Windows System Control "Deinstall or change applications" I sorted all the programs according to the size.
Acrobat was significantly greater than the Adobe CS6 Suite: More than 1 GB
Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign I use much more often than Acrobat.
Really strange...
Best Regards

The updates may resolve the issue. To update you may have to go to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/ to get the updates and install them in order.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended in Win 7 - 64

Is there any one using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended in Win7-64?

Except for those few people who have a TechNet subscription, Win7 won't be issued by MS until October

Acrobat 9 Pro install want Win Explorer and Installer to stop

During an install of Acrobat 9 Pro on a Win7 laptop there's a message that Windows Explorer and Windows Installer are running and thus preventing installation of their components of Acrobat. Reboots and disabling all start up programs doesn't fix it. Finally ignored the warning and the rest of the install appears to have gone OK.
Any idea what's happening and what I may have lost by ignoring the warning?

Are you sure you are not trying to install Acrobat onto your CD drive?

Acrodist.exe installation error during Acrobat XI pro intallation. WIN 7

I purchased and downladed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition (Windows,English) Acrodist.exe error during installation. Installation completes but I cannot open acrobat or any of its other utilities. Uninstalled using CC including registry and installed again with my firewall and antivirus turned off.....No luck! .

Dear Amish,
I generated the msi.log file as you lined out.
It is with 16kB rather long, so I just have posted the last couple of MSI (C) messages.
Let me know if there is a way to upload the complete file if you are interested.
Of course, A-IX does not start, same problem as before despite of the Installer
coming back as Installation finished successfully.
So far no word from the Adobe Tier 2 team.

Installing Acrobat 9 Pro on a virtual machine on my Mac using Parallels. Not an upgrade but being asked what I upgraded from.

I'm installing Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows on a virtual machine on my Mac (running Parallels). I successfully installed the same program using the same discs on the same Mac previously, but that virtual machine became corrupt and can no longer be launched. For this re-installation, the installation sequence is asking what version I upgraded from - but as this is not an upgrade, I get stuck at that step and am unable to complete the installation. What should my next step be?

Hi Akselowner,
This error usually comes up if the serial number you are using is an Upgrade serial number.
In such a case the installer will prompt to enter the previous qualifying version serial number.
Please send me a private message with the serial number and I will validate and confirm that for you.
If you do not have the previous qualifying version serial number then the current serial number needs to be unlocked.
Please contact our customer service so that they can do the needful for you. You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.3 - Freezing and crashing system

Updated to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.3 - intermittantly freezing up when opening files. 9.4.2 was crashing system completely. no mention of these problems under support. Why doesn't Adobe have a place where you can just write in your problem? If there is one, where is it?

To force uppercase, enter the following in the change event as JavaScript (make sure JavaScipt is selected in the language dropdown list at the top right):
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase();
As you can see in the picture, there are many palettes available on the right side to edit fields. Hope this helps.

Failure to down load CC Acrobat DC Pro for a second time after a system recovery

Failure to down load CC Acrobat DC Pro for a second time after having to perform a system recovery.
The previous 'DC Pro' is not showing as not being an installed program.
When trying to perform the update again an error shows in the Creative Cloud window 'the download appears corrupt please try again in a few minutes(26).
Trying again both in a few minutes and after a restart the same error message shows again.
What next?

check the dl'd file size vs expected file size to see if you're getting a completed download.
also, you can try a different browser and/or different wired connection and/or a download manager.

I installed my old Adobe Acrobat 7 pro on my win 7 computer but couldn't activate...the CS deleted it and gave me a new linke to install which wouldn't work. They lost all my work. CS sucks.

I had on old copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 which I purchased full price. I needed it to fill in my mothers inheritance tax. I could not activate it so was in the trial period. I contacted Customer support to be allowed to activate it. They asked no questions on which OS I was on and send me a link. The link downloaded the program, but upon install found I had a later version. I resumed the call with customer support (30 minute hold) and told them the issue. They woman (indian) told me to uninstall my old Acrobrat pro and install the program she had sent me. I did that, error messages. She (without notice) had put me on another 30 minute hold. I could no longer install my old version (which they would not let me activate) or the "newer" version because of error codes. I tried the new ID number and the old ID number with my disc. Both were invalid. I called in on a home line as the assistant on the cell line was on permanent hold. He explained they no longer supported that version and it would not work with Windows 7 (funny it worked before I called them, but could not be activated...so I was 23 days into a 30 day trial period). Finally the cell girl came back on and lied to me saying I said the software would not work. All I needed was an activation code, I understood not all features would work, but I had tested what I needed and that worked fine. She argued that it could not install on Windows 7 (false as I had already done it). She hung up. The guy on my land line came back with the same lines, but understood CS had worsened my situation. He had no solution for 30 minutes...until he offered the free trial version of version 11. I have an xp computer (old) I could have used, they just invalidated the serial and activation numbers. They wanted me to buy the new version. I don't need that. I lost half my data. Their CS (indian) sucks to the max.

Since the bookmarks are gone, I no longer have the link to the page for AA7 files that get around the activation issue of the AA7 activation server being gone. In any case, AA7 is not compatible with Win7. You can create workarounds, but both the print driver and AcroTray will not work. You can install another PS driver (even some from Adobe available), change the name to Adobe PDF, and set the port to FILE. Assuming you can find the AA7 link that was part of the old CS and can install it, you will have to run this work around. To use it, you print to the Adobe PDF printer you have created (or even PDF Maker (though not compatible with OFFICE after 2003 as I recall). You then open the file in Distiller to create a PDF. This latter step is what AcroTray normally takes care of, but it does not work in Win7.
Good luck.

I've installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro but can't figure out how to use it. Help!

Isn't there anyone out there who can help me? What about Adobe Customer Service?

You can open Acrobat and select the key F1. That should open the help menu (it should be local on your hard drive). It is also the first item listed in the help menu. If you prefer, you can open the full manual in PDF form from http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/acrobat/9/professional/acrobat_pro_9.0_help.pdf. The manual is over 500 pages long and gives you a lot of information. There is a getting started section at the end of Chapter 1.
However, at this point it might be worth asking what your expectation is for AA 9, similar to Anoop's question. A lot of folks try to use Acrobat for things it is not designed to do, though it may do them, and they get disappointed. So expectations can be a big factor. A general statement might be that the primary purpose of Acrobat and associated software is to create PDF representations of documents from other applications that you can share with others (most folks can read PDF files anymore). After the creation, there are a number of tools that can be used to enhance the use of the PDF, including form fields, security (for what it is), and minor editing.
Hope this all helps.

Acrobat XI Pro is requesting a password when try to use

If I open Acrobat XI from my Start Menu, It comes up with the program possiblities (edit open, etc). The first time I try to use it, it goes to a screen with Acrobat XI trial; I click on License this software, and it as me to sign in. Then it comes up with a request for Serial Number. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I'm assuming you did subscribe before, you aren't just testing the trial.
1. Make sure you are signing in with the same Adobe ID used for your subscription.
2. Check your account info on Adobe's site to make sure the subscription is (still) active.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - Copy Paste PDF Page to PPT Slide using VBA

Hi,
Please find the requirement -
Need to read a pdf file (pdf file may contains 10-15 pages) from powerpoint (using VBA), go to a particular pdf page, copy the entire page and paste on the ppt slide. Can anyone share the vba code for this. Thanks.
Regards,
Prasanta

Can you do it without VBA? I can't see anything designed to make this work except screen shots, which are nothing to do with Acrobat specifically.
