Acrobat X Pro won't open not long after CS6 upgrade

I upgraded to CS6 from CS4 just before the new year. I have been having problems with my computer being slow and noticed after installation that the 2 previous versions I had were still installed (silly me thought upgrades would just override these haha). So i googled to see if i could uninstall them without it affecting the CS6 upgrade and it seemed i could. So i did. Everything seems to have been working ok with the exception of my psd and indd files icons no longer show - the files appear corrupted however they open fine.
This morning when i opened Acrobat, it opened the file then suddenly closed without explaination or error. I have not been able to open it since. I have restared 4 times (as this usually helps when a program will not open) as well as stopped the acrotray.exe from running on startup. When i googled this problem it appears I am not the only one who has experienced this difficulty. Does anyone have anything that has worked for them?

Hi MSITSLAN,
The fix for this issue has already been rolled out via AAM update. Please launch Adobe Application Manager on your machine and update it. If you have already tried Solution 3 provided by Deepak and have updated AAM, this issue shouldn't come again. Alternatively, try Solution 2 and get rid of this issue quickly and permanently.
This hotfix was released in late October after we found out that most of our users were re-installing the application using DVD and were'nt able to update it. So we decided to provide it seperately. If you download and install CS6 from Adobe.com, the latest version of AAM is installed and that doesn't show this issue.
I suggest you to try Solution 2 and check if Exit Code 0 appears as a result. Do this on both the machines that you have. After applying the hotfix, if Acrobat is launched properly then you don't have to keep your fingers crossed for 30days.
Kindly feel free to post back the results.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open.  Even after a reinstall - what can I do?

    My Acrobat X Pro won't open - even after a reinstall.  What can I do?

    Thanks Jeff - what's strange is that I've been prompted a few times since installation to register the software, so I don't know why it would be doing that if it's already registered.
    When prompted, I would follow the links to the registration information page, and then work through the registration process, and then when prompted to enter the serial code it does not accept it. I've tried the serial code that came with the license, as well as the serial codes for the individual products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), and none of those were accepted by the registration form. So "registering to an account which includes your companies information would be sufficient." does not seem to be working for me, unless there is more to "including the companies information" then I've seen in the sign up pages.
    To be clear, I'm not fumbling around blindly here, I've done a lot to try and register the product myself and have yet to succeed.
    My questions are these (and apologies if this is not directly related to the OT), 1) is there a way to confirm the product is registered, 2) if it is not registered, what specifically do I need to tell the purchasing people to do to make sure it is registered properly, and 3) after following the process here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html - does this fix the Acrobat issue for good, or will I have to repeat this process in another 30 days? Does lack of registration potentially affect other products in the Web and Design Creative Suite?
    Thanks again for the assistance, I'm hoping to get enough information to be able to give our IT folks a clear resolution to the registration issue.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open at all after installing on new computer. Please help! It is from the CS6 Suite

    Hi, Can anyone help me? I had to change my computer, so I re-installed my whole CS6 Suite. Everything works except my Acrobat X Pro... It won't even open!! I am using a Windows 7 PC ... I even had Dell try and help me... the only thing they where able to do was help me be able to see .pdf docs in Reader! But I can't open a document, or create one, block sensitive info, nothing!

    Hi Lisley56, I found the solution there is a Plug in for Acrobat X Pro that came with Adobe Suite CS6... I downloaded it and that did it!!! It's called "Acrofix". Try looking it up in the Adobe website!!! I hope it works!!

  • HELP!  Adobe Acrobat X Pro won't open

    I have Adobe Creative Suite 6 and it comes with Acrobat X Pro.  It won't open anymore.  If I uninstall and reinstall it, it works fine.  But after a while, it stops working again.  When trying to open a PDF file or launch just program itself, nothing happens at all.  Not errors, no pop-ups.  I see the process open then close immediately in the Task Manager.  I have installed Adobe Reader just so I can open PDF files, which works.  However, I cannot use Acrobat for the more advance features. 

    Hi chthao,
    How frustrating! Since you got Acrobat as part of CS6, let's start with the troubleshooting tips in this document: Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite.

  • Acrobat 7 Pro won't open some files

    Out of 20 leaflet pdf's saved in Acrobat 7 Pro and uploaded on to a website 6 will not open from the site on my computer. They do open on other machines. Message is Acrobat 7 has stopped working. Any suggestions as to cause of problem will be much appreciated.

    If you are using CS5.5 it isn't part of a subscription to creative cloud (hard to tell if that's what you mean), so you may have a newer version of InDesign installed as well (they are not mutually exclusive). That said, the last patch for CS5.5 was 7.5.3, but it doesn't really matter in this case. That warning indicates the files were saved in a newer version of InDesign and cannot be opened in CS5.5.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open.

    It was installed in January 2014 as part of CS6 and just won't open as of the last 2 weeks.  I tried acrofix, cleaned the registry, tried repairing via Control Panel.  Anyone else know how to fix this?

  • Video files won't open on iPhotos after library upgrade

    I tried accessing my iPhoto library today on my iMac, and received this message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto".  I selected the "Upgrade" version accordingly.  At the same time, I also did an update on iphoto to version 9.5.1. 
    After these upgrades were completed, I attempted to access my albums in iphoto.  Everything looked fine, except that I can no longer view any videos!  When I try to view a video, this error message appears: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved" and the screen is just blank.  What do I do? This is really upsetting because I have videos of events and people important to me who have passed away 

    Hi Terence, thank you for your response.  The problem is that when I go back to Time Machine, I am unable to even restore to an earlier version.
    When I attempt to open my video files and receive the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved", I went to "File" - "Reveal in Finder" - "Original File", but then received the message "QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_1929.MOV". 
    Is this a virus or bug that subsequent updates will fix, or are my videos lost forever?
    Thank you.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open, get error message from Windows user acct controls

    Using Windows 7. Installed okay and all other components of CS work. User acct Control asks permission to change C drive. Whatever I answer does not work. I have answered yes or no, give admin priviliges, reset user acct control settings, reinstalled, etc.

    Can you please post the exact error message you are receiving?  Did you receive any error messages during the install process?  Has Acrobat X ever worked on your Windows 7 system?

  • Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5 will not open MS Outlook 2010

    I have recently updated my OS to Windows 7. Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5 will not open MS Outlook 2010 with the preformatted email message after submitting via the Email Invitations button. MS Internet Explorer 8.0 goes to a blank page. Is there a compatibility issue with Acrobat Connect Pro 7.5, MS Outlook 2010, and/or Windows 7?

    You were running a non-Intel version on an Intel Mac. You might not have run into problems before but it was only a matter of time. You cannot run an old version and then install brand new versions of ProKit and QuickTime - it will just break.
    So you can either reinstall everything from scratch and then just keep it as it is without ever installing software updates, or you can upgrade to FCP 7. I recommend the latter.

  • Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

    My Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

    Yes, updates run each time I reinstall Bill.
    On one forum, it was suggested to download Adobe cleaner.  I ran it every time before reinstalling.  Adobe XI Pro works after that, but is so unstable.  Cant figure out what triggers it to stop launching. 

  • Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

    Hi there
    As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF.  The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
    It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again.  I would love to hear your advice on this.
    Thanks very much for your help!
    Fiona

    First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
    In word: Open Document
    Next open a new Blank docment
    switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
    scroll to of go to very end of docment.
    click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
    now go to very beginning of document
    Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
    Now choose copy.
    Now switch to Blank document
    Choose Paste special.
    Now choose Text only.
    If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
    Now insert returns as desired.
    Now save as a docx file under a different name.
    IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
    go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
    Choose adobe PDF.
    follow steps when the first window opens.
    Save as PDF in desired location.
    Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
    AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again.  I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together.  BUt they never will.
