Adobe 8/Pro on Windows 7

Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro won't install on a Windows 7 computer.  It needs a .dll file from a Vista CD-ROM.  Help.

Win7 is not very friendly to AA8, but there have been several folks who have reported success with AA8 on Win7, even the 64-bit version. The updates do become important. I have not heard about the need for other dlls, but that may be necessary.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 w/ Autocad in XP Mode- not working

    I'm running Autocad Arch Desktop (ADT) in Windows XP Mode within Windows 7, and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in Windows 7.  Unfortunately, no "Adobe PDF"  pulldown was created within ADT once Adobe Pro was installed, and there isn't any sign of Adobe in ADT (normally, Adobe automatically installs pulldowns within ADT once installed).  Adobe and ADT function normally otherwise.  Does anyone know how to get Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 to recognize and work with ADT in Windows XP Mode?

    Can you tell me how to set the defaults to Courier 10pt font?  I tried select all and it's grayed out, but that was after the
    fact.  Where are the original default presets?
    Thank you in advance.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • Update 9.1.2 breaks digital signing documents in Adobe 9 Pro on Windows XP

    I am able to digitally sign documents using an Aladdin eToken Pro 64k with a fresh copy of Adobe 9 Pro for Windows. However when I update to version 9.1.2 digital signing fails with an "error encountered while BER decoding". Signing still works on Vista and Adobe 9.1.2 Pro. I've checked to make sure none of the settings relating to digital signing changed during the update and none have. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct the problem?

    Hi Nick,
    First up, there was a small error in my previous post. I said the version of Acrobat (and whenever I say Acrobat I really mean both Acrobat and Reader, but I'm too lazy to type both) that was modified to fix the bug in SHA-1 fallback was 9.1.3, but I really meant 9.3.  Sorry about that.
    I saw your post from yesterday (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/563601) where you broached the BER decoding error, but in the post above you said signature creation isn't failing any more, so hopefully some update has fixed the problem.
    Here's a little bit about the BER Decoding error. During the signing process Acrobat writes the entire file to disk (which is why you always get the Save As dialog as part of the signing process) in the signed state with everything but the actual signature. However, it does leave a hole in the file where the BER encoded cryptographic data will reside once it's be computed and formatted. One thing that is created before the actual signature is the signature appearance. The signature appearance in the form field isn't really the signature proper, but just a graphic representation of the actual signature. The reason that the signature appearance is written to disk before the signature is created is because it too is part of the signed data and must exist before the actual signature is created.
    In a perfect world, after the file is written to disk, the cryptographic signature is created and written into the hole in the PDF file, and the signing process completes without any problem. However, if we get to the point that the file has been written out, but during the actual signature creation the process fails, that hole I mentioned isn't filled in. It's not really a hole per se, but a block of zeros that act as a placeholder for the BER encoded data.  Because there was some sort of failure and Acrobat didn't get the signed data back from the hardware device what you end up with is a PDF file with a signature appearance, but no real signature in the file. When you click on the signature field Acrobat tries to validate the actual signature, it finds the block of zeros where the signed data was supposed to be, it tries to decode the zeros and gets (as you might well imagine) nothing back and displays the BER Decoding error.
    Let leaves us with why didn't Acrobat get the signed data back. When using hardware devices, such as tokens or smart cards, the actual cryptographic signing (the encryption of of the digest with the users private key) takes place on the device. Acrobat (nor any other application) doesn't have access to the private key, which is what makes hardware devices more secure. It's up to the device to sign the data and send it back. If there is any kind of breakdown in that communication channel (which I mentioned in my previous post) the signature creation doesn't reach fruition and you're left with an unsigned file that looks like it was signed because there is a signature appearance.
    This is a case where we are providing technically correct, and utterly useless information. It's true that we can't decode a bunch of zeros, but what we should be telling the user is there is no signature (it's kind of like the Matrix where there is no spoon ).
    I hope this helps explain what you're seeing. If the the signing process breaks down again please make sure you are using the latest version of Acrobat/Reader and the token software is up-to-date.  If everything is current and the problem returns please let me know.

  • Problem Signature Adobe 9 Pro Extended (Windows 7)

    I am re-installing Adobe 9 Pro Extended with a clean (new) install of Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel 80GB G2 SSD.
    I have installed, Adobe Flash, Air, Shockwave all with no issues.
    Adobe 9 Pro Extended did install.
    when I try to install updates from the "HELP" button inside of Adobe.. the first download it offers is an "Adobe Updater Install Manager".
    Adobe Updater Install Manager is where the problem begins.

    I have run the repair option twice and by the time anyone reads this maybe more! LOL!!
    Windows Home Premium New Install (re-install)
    Adobe 9 Pro Extended New Install (re-install)
    Both were un-installed and re-installed in the same afternoon (yesterday).
    The Adobe Updater Install Manager seems to be having a signature problem, as described or from what I can gather from the information communicated to me above.
    I have been able to install the "Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended - 3D update 16.3MB 11/24/2008" but the next download on the list "moving from the bottom of the list to the top or oldest first in order "Adobe Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro Extended update - multiple languages 9943KB 5/12/2009" will not load.. and I have am assuming I should install them in order? so the other 14 updates are as well waiting until I can get this little problem fixxed!
    Thank You!! In Advance! For any information on how to fix this problem you may share.
    Be well, JW

    The link above will get to you to the current download page
    For the 9.0 Pro Extended try Adobe - Acrobat 9 Pro Extended : For Windows
    However, it is missing update 9.1 NOT 9.1.1 which is the first one needed to move to the subsequent ones
    Until Adobe decides to put it out there those of us with 9.0 are stuck for an update

  • Cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP

    Hi,

    On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

  • What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

    I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
    I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project.  The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video.  I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
    What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program?  Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
    I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail.  I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
    -MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
    -Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output?  It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
    -Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI.  This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
    http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
    Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there!  Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
    So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro.  Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two.  I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
    I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
    ?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
    Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
    Aaron.

  • Anyone using Adobe Premiere Pro on Windows Server 2012?

    No, and not through RDP/Terminal Services. I mean directly on a big honking server with Windows Server 2012 R2 OS. I have a box here and I'm trying to figure out if I could install Windows Server 2012 and use Premiere Pro at the same time or am I compelled to use Windows 8.1
    Your help is greatly appreciated!    

    Hi Skadaba,
    I have also been trying to install PP CC on Windows Server 2012 R2. I chose this because I am attempting to connect to a SAN with SMB over RDMA over Infiniband, and only 2012 supports the protocols I require to do this. Regardless, the problems I am having with Server 2012 R2 is that Server 2012 no longer supports direct installation of Windows Media Player, which has core files required for use by Premiere. Instead, Microsoft will try to have you install IIS Media Services which doesn't help in this situation.
    I did find a solution to this that appears to be working. If you go to Server Manager and install the Desktop Experience Feature this should install the WMP core required in Premiere (Manage -> Add roles and features  -> Add Feature -> User Interfacce and Infrastructure -> Desktop Experience).
    So as John Smith said, it isn't officially supported by Adobe, but it does seem to work once you go through those first first annoying steps.

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?
