  • Problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.

    I have a problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.
    It is a failed hard disk to the pc and was not able to deactivate the license adobe.
    Now I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the software but it tells me that all licenses are used.
    Is it possible to unlock the licenses in use?
    Thank you.

    Adobe can unlock licenses, this is a normal thing for them to do. You must contact them directly, there is no trick or other way.

  • How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    Hi jrector3,
    You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.
    You can also go to the help menu and check if 'Deactivate' option is highlighted.

  • Activation Issue - Acrobat 8.0 Standard

    A Win XP SP3 laptop with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard ( previously activated ) is now prompting the user that to Activation is required
    A reboot of the machine seems to fix this in the short term.  However the message is displayed again intermittently.
    After the re-boot the option to active / deactivate is disabled

    Many people sem to have this problem and for most, rebooting does not solve it.
    I have this problem, too. I'm on Acrobat 8 and Windows XP.
    Usually this works for me:
    - deleting the acrotray process (ctrl alt dl, select processes, sort alphabetically, delete acrotray)
    - deleting the Flexnet file (_00080000_tsf.data in FLEXNET folder - probably at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet).
    Sometimes it doesn't.
    When it doesn't, I go into MS-Word, open a random doc and click on the PDF icon on the toolbar (this bypasses the PDF-writing method which uses your printer setup/drivers). Somehow, this works fine and the PDF is created.
    I then go to the original doc I wanted to create, in any app, and use the printer (ie 'control p') driver to write the PDF - the method that had originally failed. The PDF then writes no problem. This always fixes it.
    If this doesn't work, there are multiple (and some very complex) fixes suggested by Adobe in the Help section online - search for 'Adobe 8 activation error'. Hopefully the above may help.
    Hope this helps - but users seem to all have different configurations and different fixes.

    Hello,
    I try to activate adobe acrobat reader 8 on my workstation in windows7 internet and I can not do it because my job is not connected to the internet.
    I have all references: serial number and activation code.
    Response:
    Reader doesn't Activate.  You must have Acrobat Pro 8 or Acrobat Standard 8.  You should contact Adobe Customer Service perhaps the number of activations is exceeded.

    Lecteur ne s'active pas. Vous devez disposer d'Acrobat Pro 8 ou Acrobat Standard 8. Vous devez contacter le service clientèle d'Adobe peut-être le nombre d'activations est dépassée.

  • Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard Work With Adobe Reader 8.2.4?

    Hello,
    I have a question, but haven't found an answer to this yet.
    Can anyone tell me please:  Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard work with Adobe Reader 8.2.4?
    I had Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard on my computer & it was working with Adobe Reader 8, but don't remember what the version it was.
    I was using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard to scan very old family pictures & documents & I realize that this version of Acrobat is outdated.
    To make a long story short, my computer had crashed, so we built another computer & just replaced the hard drive.  When I went to Adobe, I had to download the newer version of Reader 9.0 & it didn't work with Acrobat 6.0., so I removed Adobe Reader 9 & I found Adobe Reader 8.0 & have downloaded the patches, so now I have Adobe Reader 8.2.4 back on board.
    Thank you.

    Adobe doesn't recommend any version of Reader with any version of Acrobat on Windows. It will cause problems. It just is a matter of how and when. The problem has to do with shared resources causing conflicts. If you have Acrobat 8, you can update it to Acrobat 8.2.4. You must apply the updates sequentially.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard - PDF Printer suppress file name prompt

    Hi,
    We are currently developing a product for Autodesk Revit with regards to drawing generation/export.  Revit does not have an inbuilt PDF writer.  As such most users either use free PDF Printers or Adobe Acrobat Standard.
    We have managed to automate the naming of files using some of the free PDF printers, and suppress the file save as name prompt for each sheet in a set of prints.
    We'd also like to add support for Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard.  Is this possible through the Acrobat API?
    Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated as we are keen to get our product out to market very soon!
    Thanks.

    Thanks.  That's all I needed for now.  Our developer will take a look when he comes to doing that section of the product.
    Cheers.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.0 STANDARD Download?

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9.0 STANDARD, but cannot locate the CD.  I have my code registered in my profile.  I have looked to download off the Adobe web, however I only see 9.0 Pro available.  Can I download a current version (10 or 11) and use my same code?  if not, is there a place I can download the 9.0 Standard version?

  • Cannot Copy and Paste in Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard

    I just bought a new computer and with it I purchased Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard.  In the past I used previous version of Acrobat standard and professional to create drawings and to copy and paste my engineering seal on my structural calculations.  I am having (2) problems.  The first is when I try to copy and paste my seal from a PDF file, it does not work in Version 9.  I use the snap shot tool.  Please try the attached file using Version 9.  It works in Version 8 Standard and Version 7 professional.
    The second is when I try to printing from AutoDesk products.  I had the problem of when I would print a PDF from AutoCAD it would sooo big.  To work around that, I started using Autodesk Reviewer and creating my PDFs from an Autodesk DWF file.  WIth Version 9, I now having the file size problem with the DWF files.  It is about 5 times larger than the DWF and the qualtiy is terrible.  I was able to create a PDF from a DWF from Version 7 and 8 without these problems.

    It has been a part of Acrobat for a while now but DWF was added in Acrobat 8, I believe. As far as older versions are concerned, the version of AutoCAD you have matters. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2008/12/version_compatibility_of_acrob.html. In addition, AutoCAD 2009 is supported in Acrobat 9.1.
    I would recommend downloading a trial copy of Acrobat and see if it meets your requirements.

  • Gaps inbetween letters of full words when Merging files to single PDF (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard)

    I've raised a Bug Report although it says that I may not be contacted so thought someone else might have encountered this issue and hopefully knows what causes it and how to fix. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Heres a copy of the Bug Report details...
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    An intermitent issue is occuring when merging multiple files into a single PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, the resulting PDF file has gaps inbetween the letters of actual words. For example the word "document" may appear in part of the PDF as "doc ument". This seems to affect various parts of the final PDF file.
    Setup: Windows XP SP2, Adobe Acrobat 9.0, Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    I am currently unable to replicate the issue on demand but this has happened three times since installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 a month ago. The most recent occurance happened when merging 6 Microsoft Word Documents. It is a real problem due to the fact that every PDF created needs to be carefully checked and in some cases these PDFs have hundreds of pages.
    The steps used are:
    1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
    2) Click File
    3) Combine
    4) Merge Files into a single PDF
    5) Add Files (select the required files)
    6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
    Results:
    A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
    Expected results:
    A single PDF with the same formatting and layout as the original files.

    Thanks for the response.
    I have checked though the Word documents that were used in the most recent merge. They don't have any spaces at these areas or strange formatting. I turned on the Show/Hide option to confirm if there was anything odd but I could not see anything. The formatting (Ctrl+D) shows the default font Arial, Regular, font 12.
    The interesting thing is that if it occurs and attempt another file merge the gaps are no longer there. Which makes me think this is unlikely to be the documents and formatting being used and more likely to be a bug in Adobe Acrobat.
    Is there anything else that might be of use to know?

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard

    My Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard no longer wotks with Apple OS X 10.7.2 LION.
    If an updayte available or do I have to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    Acrobat 7 was released in 2005. That's ancient in computer years. You'll definitely need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X to run it under Lion.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard will not open

    I downloaded Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard in July 2005. It has worked fine with no bugs. I really do not need to upgrade but now have a problem. I have had some other issues with my computer and now when I try to open this program, I get a window that says:
    The installation source for this product is not available. Veryify that the source exists and that you can access it.
    I have not deleted it to my knowledge but it won't open. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks a million!

    If you registered or can show proof of purchase, you should be able to get it back from Adobe, though they will likely tell you to upgrade. It is a matter of proof of purchase. The registration is the standard process to assure this agreement. They claim they do not have old versions, but I doubt that is totally true if you push the point and can demonstrate the purchase.
    In any case, Adobe is the one that would have to fix the issue for you. Next time, be sure to burn a CD and also register (if not done). Burning program CDs is important for any software you buy off the web.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard Combine Files Format Issue

    I have an issue combining multiple PDF files into one. Every week we create a sales deck that is made of up 30 or so files. most of the files are created from a program called Cognos Impromptu using the Cognos PDF Server 5.0.44.0. According to the document properties, it creates a PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x). I can not change this conversion setting.
    I then convert several word documents and Excel documents into PDF files separately and then combine them all together. These individual files are created using Acrobat Distiller 7.0.5 (Windows) and creates a PDF Version: 1.4(Acrobat 5.x).
    The problem happens when I throw one of the files created from Cognos into the mix. It causes the formatting on the PDF files created from word and excel to become "ugly". Random letters just drop off from the report and make it unreadable. Pages created from the cognos reports are always ok. If I try the combine excluding the cognos converted PDF files, it works perfectly.
    This happened when we got new computers last week. By some stroke of luck, I was able to fix it on my computer and I don't have the issue any more. However, I am trying to fix it on my coworkers computer and Im not having any luck. Our settings match perfectly in Acrobat, Distiller, and PDF Maker installed in Excel and Word. I don't even know what I did to fix mine.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. We are both running Windows XP and have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard edtion.
    Thank you

    Bill,
    thanks for the reply. I think i got it. When they gave us the new computers, they installed a copy of acrobat without some of the latest updates. update 7.0.5,.7,.8, and .9 were missing from our programs. I also noticed that her create to PDF setting for microsoft office was set to standard but the distiller was using high quality. i think fixing the combination of the two may have fixed it. I am going to try and create a full report and see. I will post back and let you know if the issue is gone.
    thanks again.
