Acrobat XI and Vista 64

Has anyone successfully installed Acrobat XI on a Vista 64 system? The system requirements do not list Vista 64 as a compatible OS. Thank you.

While Microsoft Vista is not a supported operating system, many users have successfully installed Acrobat XI on it. I would advise updating the OS to SP2 if you haven't done so already before installation.

Acrobat 7 and Vista

I have read a number of reports of the problems people were having with acrobat 7 pro and vista so I thought I would report how I got it to work for me. My hardware is a new notebook running Vista Home Premium SP1 with all current updates. After installing off the original disk acrobat 7.0 would not start. I went to adobes site and downloaded the 7.09 update but when I ran it I got the message it could not find a program to update. Then I downloaded update 7.05 and it installed fine and the program worked without a hitch so I made a restore point in Vista. Acrobat started to update itself to version 7.10 and I decided to let it to see what would happen. After the update it opened fine and all the features I normally use work fine. Must say despite all my apprehensions Vista seems to be working fine for me. All my old programs are working including lots of specialty programs( marking, testing, cad) even my 7 year old version of autocad is working fine in wind 2000 compatibility mode. Crossing my fingers and hoping this continues.

It may seem to work fine, but you will likely have problems along the way. The activation issue may be that you did not deactivate it from the previous systems before you installed VISTA. If that is the case, you may be out of install rights. If you still have the older systems, deactivate Acrobat there.
As mentioned, you may still not have luck with AA7 on VISTA. Acrobat may open fine, but most likely you will have to use the print to file feature when printing to the Adobe PDF printer (if it even installs - in that case use a PS printer and possibly rename it to Adobe PDF). You would then have to open the file in Distiller to get a PDF. To automate the process a bit in such a case, you can set the printer port to file, rather than PDF Port. If it works without such changes, you are lucky. Even with the changes it may not work correctly. Good luck.

Scanning with Kodak i65 and Vista

Hi,
I am having trouble 'Creating a PDF from Scanner' with a Kodak i65 scanner. Everytime I attempt to scan a document with Acrobat 8 and Vista I receive a scanning failed message. The 'Scan Validation Tool' scans documents fine to the .tiff format however when I try to scan documents with Acrobat 8 it doesn't work and I get 'Scanning failed.'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

I have the exact same problem. Except I have the Kodak i30 Scanner. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed).
In the past, I ran the following configurations on an older computer with no problems:
- Windows XP & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
- Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
- Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed)
However, when I built a new computer, installed Windows Vista Ultimate, installed the Kodak i30 Scanner, I receive a "Scanning failed." error everytime I try to scan directly into Acrobat.
BTW, I HAVE "tried with latest Scan Validation Tool and firmware update from Kodak site." Updating the SVT and firmware neither helped nor hurt.
Has anyone had a successful fix to this issue?

Acrobat 7.0 Pro and VISTA

Just FYI,
Acrobat 7.0 Pro does not work with Vista. It will continually ask for re-activation even though it is activated the first (and subsequent) times.
This is not a complaint. Acro 7.0 preceded (and was never intended for) Vista. Just thought it would be helpful to have this fact clear (to avoid calling customer support and being told on the SECOND call that this is the case).
Will definitely upgrade to Acro 8 or 9. Acrobat is an invaluable tool.

You may get a few responses. A few have apparently been successful with AA7 and VISTA, but I am not sure of the stability of such installations. You might want to provide a few more details of what you have run into, installation process, and such, so that they might answer. I think your data may be adequate, but if you have more it would help. The upgrade is likely a good idea in any case.

Can't download and install Acrobat on Windows Vista

Hey there,
I hope that someone could help me. I bought a subscription for Adobe Acrobat yesterday evening. Now I tried to download the software from this page: https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. And it failed - saying that "i don't have the right language or platform / stage" - . But I checked the standards on my computer before. I got Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (they say i need minimum Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3). Central processing unit, Hard Disc and RAM are also ok.
So - I really don't know what to do right now - sitting here since hours trying to make it work.
Thanks for your help,
Monika

Thanks a lot for your answer. But: What the fxxxxx - that is really one of the worst offer of a service I've ever seen. So I have to check if I could update or "downgrade" my Computer System. Otherwise I have to cancel my order.
Wish you a good Sunday.

FF will no longer ask me before trying to open Acrobat files, and will not ask me to save them either. How can I restore the ability to see pdf's with FF?

I have Acrobat 6.0 Professional installed on my PC (Vista-64) and after the last FF update, it will no longer open or allow me to view pdfs. "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
Under "Options" I set my preference with pdfs to "Always Ask" but the documentation on FF states that it will attempt to open the file first, before asking me to save it, which basically means that it will never ask me to save it - just ask me to exit the browser and Acrobat. I have not been able to access PDF content on FF since, and will have to change to Chrome this evening, since I utilize pdf content often.

Acrobat X and Word 2010 missing text

Has anyone found a solution yet to dropping text box text when converting a Word 2010 document via the PDF print driver? There are various posts on this topic but no real solution. Most resolve by using the "Save as Adobe PDF", which works but doesn't solve the actual problem. I have a specific document that we use extensively as a template to create other documents and the text in one text box is consistently clipped off when printing to PDF.
These are controlled documents done in Word that are kept in a limited access vault and need to be approved. Once approved, I create a PDF and put it in a public location. If I use the Save As option it works fine, except that it has to save the Word document before creating the PDF (why....? I haven't touched it...?). Since I'm working in the vault, the file is Read Only, so I have to browse out to another location, save it and then create the PDF. I get a lot of these and that's a very time consuming side trip, not to mention the extra file management of having to clean up all those files I needlessly created.
I've tried changing font to Arial, as well as making sure the background is set to No Color. No luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had no problems using my Vista machine with Office 2007 and Acrobat 9. They upgraded me to a new machine with Win7, Office 2010 and Acrobat X and all those great improvements seem to have left me less functional.

Thanks, Bill!
Coincidentally, I had an AA update come in this morning. I checked Word (yes, it's 32-bit) and downloaded a couple of updates that were waiting (.NET security issues, not sure they're related?). But after the reboot I tried creating a PDF with the Press settings and everything was there. Better yet, I tried again with the standard settings and everything looks good! I verified by converting two or three other documents and everything's fine.
I thought I was stayingup to date but the latest updates seemed to do it! Thanks for the help!

Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 Don't Work

I just loaded Windows 7, now my Adobe Acrobat 8 doesn't create or combine pdfs. Reloaded Acrobat 8 and still doesn't work. Is there a patch to work with windows 7?
Thanks,
Steve

Well I finally got Acrobat 8 to work on my 64 bit windows 7 system. I put in all in a file in case I ever need to reload it. Here is what worked for me.
To install Acrobat 8 on Windows 7
1. Find folder data1.cab in installation files and drag AdobePDF.dll_64 onto desktop. Rename file AdobePDF.dll by deleting _64.
2. Start installation process and when asked for file AdobePDF.dll from Vista disk use browse button and direct installation to file on desktop.
3. After installation is complete try update (Help/Check for Updates) and after that check the version (Help/about ...). You need to update to at least ver. 8.1. If the Check for updates does not work - go to:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
and do AT LEAST the 8.1 update.
4. Now you may try to print to the Adobe PDF printer but it probably will not work. If not, you will need to go to the Devices and Printers/Adobe PDF/Printer Properties/Advanced and set it to "Print Directly to Printer".
That process should allow you to create .pdf files from the print menu. But be advised that sometimes it is necessary to click on the flashing icon in the lower tray to bring up the "Save" box after the print is initiated.

Acrobat Hangs With Vista

Right now running Vista Business Premium (fully updated) and acrobat standard (8.1.1). We have some forms which we fill out then save as pdf's to print when needed. 99% of the time, when selecting addresses [from a drop down in the from] or a date acrobat just "hangs" and we have to do a manual shutdown (press and hold the power button) as the entire computer just hangs up and refuses to respond (even after letting it sit for a while)
I have no idea how to diagnose this problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a problem with Acrobat Pro in Vista hanging for 30-90 seconds then working OK for a while, then hanging repeatedly for 30-90 seconds. I have noticed that the error log in the roaming\adobe\acrobat\8.0 logging an error as follows when this happens:
080216 13:34:25 [Warning] Can't open and lock time zone table: Table 'mysql.time_zone_leap_second' doesn't exist trying to live without them
080216 13:34:25 [ERROR] mysql_embedded: Can't find file: 'files.MYI' (errno: 2)
080216 13:34:25 [ERROR] mysql_embedded: Can't find file: 'files.MYI' (errno: 2) . . .
Any ideas how to get this to stop?

Acrobat 9 in Vista

Hi,
I tried to install Acrobat 9.1 in Vista and it got hung up. Now whenever I try to complete the install, repair the install or uninstall I get the following message:
Error 1500. Another installation is already in progress. Complete that install before proceeding with this installation
I have done what Acrobat tells me to do (modifications to registry) but its not working. Can someone please help? I broke down and purchased 9.1 because 8 worked so "wonderfully" (NOT) that I just had to get it in order to do anything.
Thanks,
Abbie

I was reading that I might have to give Windows/TEMP folder full-rights for the PDF conversion to work. I did that, but it is still a no go. I also tried to run Distiller 9.0 standalone (right-click Run As Administrator) once to see if it can create the temp folders itself, but no-go... How are other people running Acrobat 9 on Vista without problems?

Acrobat 8 and Dual-Boot computer

Scenario: I have my home computer set up to dual-boot both Windows XP and Windows Vista. I have purchased the full version of Acrobat 8. I have already installed Acrobat on the Vista installation, and would now like to install it on the XP installation as well.
Language of EULA: EULA for Acrobat 8 defines "computer" as "a computer device that accepts information in digital or similar form and manipulates it for a specific result based on a sequence of instructions."
The EULA for Acrobat 8 further provides in Section 2.4 that "the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed ("Primary User") may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer."
My Interpretation of the EULA: I think I am permitted to install and use Acrobat 8 on both Windows installations.
First, I think my computer is one "Computer" for purposes of the EULA. I don't see any differentiation between different operating system installations on one physical machine.
Second, even if each operating system installation would be considered to be a separate "Computer" under the EULA, I am the "Primary User" of the "primary Computer" and the second "Computer" is located at my home. It is impossible for me to use both "Computers" at the same time, therefore I will never be able to use Acrobat 8 on both "Computers" at the same time.
My question: Is my analysis correct? Or am I stretching the language of the EULA beyond its limits?

Hi there -
I am dual booting Windows 7 and XP ... already have CS4 Design Premium installed on Win7 (submitting some testing results to Microsoft so good for Adobe) ... would like to install on the XP boot as well. Same situation and logic as above. Will the CS4 license let me do this?
Note I would like to keep my portable computer option open for my laptop ... in NO CASE would the instances be used simultaneously ... it's just me, really!
Thanks

This fix worked on Windows Vista Business Edition (32-Bit).

I have windows XP media center. I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to download Acr 9 pro extended. No adobe printer was installed .
Tried the steps given here by Steve Lionel. I was able to add the "Adobe PDF Converter" as printer. Although after the 7th step in Steve's fix, the wizard asked me to search for some files (from XP CDrom) which I was able to locate in the Windows folder-drivers folder and the system32-spool folder.
I went to acrobat,opened a pdf file and tried to print with this printer and saved it on the desktop. A file appears, but adobe cannot open it however it activates adobe illustrator and opens in that program.
Lots of time has gone. No solution yet.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Update!!!
I tried printing on this printer from a webpage and it converted the webpage like charm.
I am more than happy even if I get to use this printer to convert webpages to pdf as now I don't have to install those shady pdf converters and printer drivers.
This is good as the fix given here works even for XP.
Thanks for this wonderful solution.

WinXP and Vista memory usage with Illustrator CS2 - is Vista winning?

Dear forum.
I have an AI-template file where I insert some very large PNG files into it, modifies the template a bit and then I print the the resulting document in PS-format. The PNG files may be as large as 100 MB (24-bits, approx. 100 mil. pixels in total). It appears that while a Vista-based machine has no problem loading one or even two copies of these huge files into memory, a WinXP-based machine can't even load a single file into memory. Instead, I a dialog box with the message: "Could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand this file". Is it really a faulty plug-in or is it just CS2's way of saying "not enough memory" in a quirky way?
All in all, I would like to hear whether someone has the same experience with Vista, ie. it seems to be better at memory management or better at allocating memory for Illustrator CS2, enabling it to load large PNG files.
The specifications of the WinXP-based machine:
Pentium 4 2.6 GHz
3 GB RAM
Virtual memory 4095 MB in a physically separate drive from the OS disk
All Visual Effects are turned off
Has Illustrator CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7 and Distiller installed (and a few auxilliary programs)
The specifications of the Vista-based machine:
Dell OptiPlex 740SF
AMD x2 5000 (2.6 GHHz)
2 GB RAM (667 MHz, 2 x 1 GB)
250 GB SATA disk
Windows Vista
Adobe Creative Suite 2 Standard + Adobe Creative Suite 3
Thanks!

Hi, everyone
I got a new t440p 20ANA00UHH (8GB RAM, win8 64bits) about one week ago. It works really well, but its memory usage confused me. In Task Manager, the "Performance" option shows memory is 68% (5.4G in use), but "Users" option shows memory usage 66% (1019.5M in use). Is that normal ? I just opened some websites and word files.
