Acrobat XI will not execute on my Win8 box

I have installed Acrobat Xi through the CC on my computer and at first when I brought up Acrobat I received the following error:
Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.
How can I fix this?

Download JAVA Software Developement Kit (SDK previously JDK) from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Install the executable file just downloaded.
Search for command.exe file inside C:\Windows\System32 and copy it to the 'bin' folder inside the jdk folder (say C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin ).
Now double click open the command.exe file and ( something like this will be displayed c:\PROGRA~1\.....\BIN>) type edit autoexec.bat
Now type set path=%path%; c:\jdk..complete path (in my case set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\bin\autoexec.bat). For more info on setting path http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/tutorials/gettingstarted/part1b.html
Save the file and exit.
Thats it! Happy programming...

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg

Adobe Acrobat 8 will not convert a pdf to a jpeg. It just gives an error message and shuts down every time I to save it as jpeg. Any advice why this conversion will not work? I use a PC and run Windows 7.

The Acrobat 8 product family passed into End of Support years ago.
Acrobat 8 is not compatible with today's OSs.
Be well...

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Have installed version 9.5 on my Windows 7 desk-top computer.

I don't know what you mean by "where and how"; Adobe Reader will automatically present the license agreement to accept the first time you use it.

Acrobat update will not allow me to accept. Just quits.

Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files

Ever since I upgraded to Marvericks, Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files. How can I fix this. It previously worked fine.
I create tagged pdf files in InDesign to be compatible with 508 accessibility standards.The files read aloud on a Mac with OS X Lion but not on Mavericks.

no, still no resolution. It is very frustrating. I did have one 8 page document that it will read the first page but nothing else.
Did you find an answer?

Acrobat 8 will not open on pc

Acrobat 8 will not open at all with no errors. we tried to fix. then tried to unload, then reload still the same problem. tried the ittools cleaner still no luck. Is this an authorization issues or any other suggestions, the reason we need 8 to work is we have plug-ins that only works on 8

HI There,
It could be an issue due to some corrupted or foreign fonts in your system:
Can you try the following steps to ensure if that is the case at your end as well?
1) Close Captivate and all other running applications.
2) Go to C\Windows\Fonts -- Copy the "Fonts" folder and paste it on your desktop (to have a back up).
3) Now, delete all fonts from "C\Windows\Fonts" directory, this would remove all fonts that are installed on your computer, it might prompt that certain fonts are necessary as applications are dependant upon them, so, skip these fonts.
You would be left with a bunch of necessary fonts after this operation., Now, attempt to launch Captivate again.
Note: Please make sure you keep a backup for all fonts on your desktop.

Mayank

Service stack update 2871777 to enable installation of RDP Connection Broker on 2012 domain controller - downloaded file will not execute.

service stack update 2871777 to enable installation of RDP Connection Broker on 2012 domain controller - downloaded file will not execute.
Downloaded x64 update for server 2012 R2 (KB2871777) - file downloaded is named Windows8-RT-KB2871777-x64.msu
When downloaded to server 2012 R2, upon launching the files, the message reads "Windows Update Standalone Installer"
"The update is not applicable t your computer"
If this is the wrong update please point me to the correct one - I cannot find another instance of this update anywhere.
I am unable to remove the active directory from this server, so I need to use this fix if at all possible, in order to use RDP.
I have tried every workaround I can find. The goal is to have remote users access RDP to run a remote session and access apps and files
on the server. we have Hyper-V enabled and have successfully deployed 10 RDP licenses to the license server) also on the PDC.
I read one post that suggested installing RD Connection Broker in one instance of a VM and AD DS in the other - not sure if that means we remove
AD DS from physical server. We only have one 2012 server (plus a server 2008 with Ad DS) and a server 2003. Trying to make this all work so we can deploy 10 remote desktop users.

KB2871777 appears to be for 2012 (non R2) only.
As to the other problem maybe this one helps.

Acrobat Pro will not install

Okay, excuse my lack of patience. But I have now called Adobe customer servic (in India, and I'm in the U.S.) three times now, and I have not resolved this issue! I am a Creative Cloud member, and my Adobe Acrobat Pro will NOT work. On top of that, the Adobe Application Manger is $%@ useless. I get errors constantly. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.1. My other Adobe software works. But Acrobat Pro has not worked at all since I purchase Creative Cloud a few months ago. At any point, if Adobe would like to fix this issue, that would be great. Like I said, I've already called three times in the last two months. And the low level tech support guys are useless. I spend an hour or two on the phone with them and the issue is NOT resolved.

So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network. Unfortunately, Adobe tech support didn't suggest this during the three times that I called them. But it doesn't matter now, problem is resolved.

I've changed PC's but not able Acrobat 9 will not accept my serial key

I've changed PC's but not able Acrobat 9 will not accept my serial key. I've been advised this version is no longer supported and I will need to purchase an upgrade, why if this worked perfectly fine on my old pc won't it work/accept serial key on my new one?

Hi christinec87584091,
Please try the steps mentioned in the KB Doc : Error "Invalid serial number" | Acrobat 9 | CS4
This might resolve your issue.

Adobe Encore CS4: End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point

Error screen:
Error I’m getting for section titled Notes (PP 45 second video): “End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point.”
The icon that shows error is in top line second from end. I’m trying to 'end action' that portion of the video by going back to 'menu default'; also tried end action w/ ‘Stop’ and neither work.
I saw a post about checking timeline. Not sure what I’m looking for there. I have nothing in Orphanage area. I also tried building despite Check Project error and it will not build project. Any suggestions on how to fix: “End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point.”?

Select chapter one on that timelne. Look in the properties panel. Does it have an end action? You do not want an end action on the chapter; just on the timeline itself.
That will not generally prevent a build, however. So you may have other issues.
