Adobe 9 takes over MS office 2007

Help
I have the same issue
I am using Vista after installing Reader 9.0 it takes over
It changes all of my MS office 2007 icons to look like Acrobat icons and then tries to launch adobe instead of my office application such as my outlook I get the following error message
c:programfiles\.......reader\Eula.exe
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the set associations control panel"
Please help!!!! I have checked all the associations and they are correct.

That is not something that should happen.
What I would try in your situation is a repair install of Office (Add/Remove Programs; select Microsoft Office, then use the Change button to perform the repair install).

    How can i fix this problem, can't call anyone because all they have is MORE READING!!! And NO HUMAN CONTACT!
    YOU SUCK ADOBE!!!

    NObody is orced to download Acrobat. Still, you did, you had your trial, and now it's finished. If you don't want to buy it, just uninstall it the normal way (but DONT) just delete it, ask if you don't know how to uninstall. Once it is gone, you might have to repair Adobe Readet. So, be angry but understand you had a choice of what to download. It would help you if you remember the full names of products, there is nothing called Adobe XI.

  • Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

    Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

    Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
    I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional / Office 2007

    Buenas tardes,
    Adquirí hace años el Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional nunca he tenido problemas para utilizarlo con el Word del Office 2003. El problema ha surgido cuando me he pasado al Office 2007 ya que cuando intento crear un pdf con el A. Acrobat 7 no reconoce los archivos aún cuando los haya guardado con la extensión .doc en lugar de la .docx He hablado con el servicio técnico y me han dicho que ya no dan soporte para la versión 7 y me indicado que haga la pregunta aquí.
    Supongo que el Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional es ya viejo para el Office 2007 pero me pregunto, les pregunto, si existe alguna actualización que permita que aún pueda seguir utilizando el Ad. 7 o si necesariamente tendré que adquirir una nueva versión. Si al final tengo que adquirir la nueva versión (que no es barata precisamente), ¿Cuál es la compatible con el Office 2007?
    Saludos.

    Hola Claudio, gracias por tu respuesta y, Naturalmente por la bienvenida.
    Efectivamente la versión 7.0 que tengo es legítima y hoy mismo me pondré en contacto con Adobe para que me aclaren lo del precio rebajado ya que tengo mis dudas al respecto al ser la versión 7.0 una versión ya algo antigua.
    Saludos.

  • Adobe 9 takes Over Other Applications once installed

    Since I tried and failed to install some non-compatible software(not Adobe) on my Vista laptop, Adobe 9 has failed to work. In fact, it has taken over my other applications such as Explorer & Media player. The Laptop thinks these applications are Adobe related & tries to open them with Adobe. It does not give me the option to Open with another program and the file associations have not changed. What has changed is that the Target type of these applications has changed from "Application" to "EXE" and the icons change to the Adobe picture. I uninstalled Adobe to rectify the problem, but now I cannot install Adobe without the same thing happening.Have I deleted an important file from the Vista system which is vital for Adobe use? The upshot is I cannot read any PDFs for the forseeable future. Also, I cannot use system restore as I left it too late & my ideal restore point has gone.
    Stand alone laptop/Vista home premium.

    try this is you are comfortable working in the Registry. Your settings for exe files need to be re-established:
    1. Launch Notepad by clicking on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
    2. Enter the following into Notepad:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 6.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thList]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thProgids]
    "exefile"=hex(0):
    3. Click on the File Menu and select Save As
    4. From the Save as Type drop down select All Files
    5. Change the File Name to Exe.reg
    6. Save the file to the Desktop and then close Notepad.
    7. Double-click the Exe.reg file. Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, enter the password or provide proper confirmation.
    8. Click Yes, and then click OK in response to the registry prompts.
    9. Restart your Computer
    10. You should be sure to delete the Exe.reg file after resolving this issue.

  • How can I get Adobe to take over my computer to help with lost photos?

    I have lost photos going from PC to Mac in Lightroom.  Have tried all the standard stuff.  How do I get Adobe to log into my computer remotely to help?

    Adobe Support is for problems installing and licensing their software on your computer, not to fix something you’ve done by mistake, unless you pay for their support which will likely cost quite a bit.
    If you can describe your issue here in more detail perhaps a forum user can help you.

  • Which Adobe product takes over vdeos?

    I downloaded some Adobe product and now all of my videos have an adobe symbol and are not accessable.  Any dea what I need to remove?

    Hi Ralph
    Thanks for the additional info.I'm not certain what operating system you are on. I'm a PC and a big ole Mac ignoramous. So I'm not sure if Mac will behave as PC (Windows) does.
    IF you are using a PC, what does it show when you right-click one of the videos and examine the properties? I'll post a screen capture of my own properties dialog for a .MPG file type.
    See the button labeled Change? Click that and you are able to choose any other application that you want for playing the video.
    Sorry, but I'm not thinking any of the applications you listed should have caused a change to the file association. Obviously SOMETHING changed it, but I'd be hard pressed to say what.
    Hopefully something here will help or possibly someone else will have a different idea of what to try.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Extentions for Microsoft Office 2007

    The instructions for configuring the desktop say....
    "The plug-in requires Microsoft Office 2003 for Windows (or later) versions of Excel and Word."
    The (or later) can only be Microsoft Office 2007, which I have installed.
    The actual download page for the extension install file does not say "or later).
    I tried to install and it failed saying the I did not have Office 2003 installed. That is correct, I have Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007. So the information in the disk configuration instructions must be wrong.
    Does anyone know whether the extentions will be made available for Word and Excel 2007, or even if they are needed?

    Hi,
    There is a new version of the Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management for Microsoft Office which works with Microsoft Office 2007. You can download the new version of the plugin from http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/rightsmanagement/extension/downloads.html.
    Before installing the plugin you have to uninstall the previous installed version and also quit any running Microsoft Office programs.
    After the installation is complete, you will have to manually configure the plugin to work with the Adobe Document Center. To do this:
    * Launch one of the Microsoft Office applications.
    * Click on the newly installed tab called "Adobe Rights Management".
    * Click on the "Choose Server" button in the tab. You will see there is an existing pre-configured server.
    * Select the pre-configured server and click on the Edit button. In the name field enter "Adobe Document Center", in the Server Address Field enter "pdf-policy.adobe.com" and in the Port field enter "443"
    * Next click on the "Connect to this Server" button. This will prompt you to login to the server. Enter your Adobe Document Center username and password in this field.
    * Once login is successful there will be a message that the server has been successfully configured. Select the new Adobe Document Center entry in the Server Configuration dialog and make this entry the default by clicking on the "Set Default" button. This will complete the configuration.
    You can now use the Adobe Document Center to secure Office 2007 file formats using the Secure button on the Adobe Rights Management tab.
    Please let me know if you have any trouble.
    Thanks

  • Office 2007 saving documents over mapped network drive takes abnormally long

    On a new Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer, I have installed Office 2007. When I attempt to save documents to a mapped network drive on a peer network (saving to a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer), I have abnormally long save times.  However, when I attempt
    to save documents to my computer, I have no issues.  I do not have any issues when opening the files over the mapped drive.
    Turning off the third-party Bullguard Internet Security antivirus and firewall makes no difference.  Setting as an exception the excluded mapped drive folder makes no difference either.
    I have disconnected the mapped drive and re-mapped the network drive, but this makes no difference.
    I had no problem with the same software on a prior computer running the same Office 2007 version.  Another computer on the network has no issues either.
    Please advise how to speed up the saved documents (Word, Excel).

    Hi,
    As the slow to save files issue, please try the suggestion below to modify the registry:

  • Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

    Hi,
    I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
    This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

    I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
    A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

  • I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

    What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
    But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

  • Adobe 9 Pro not working properly after upgrading to MS Office 2007

    I have Adobe 9.0.0 Pro on my Windows XP machine. We had been using MS Office 2003 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc) and I had in my prologue.ps file added a bookmark to be added when I create a pdf. This worked fine. We then upgraded to MS Office 2007 and the bookmarks are now NOT created. The only difference is the change from Word 2003 to Word 2007. Also if I have a Word document with Times New Roman font and I create the pdf, the font changes from Times New Roman to something that looks like Arial. If I save the the document as a pdf, it changes the font. If I print the document as a Adobe pdf, it comes out find. Any suggestions on how to fix the issues?

  • MS Office 2007 Excel files pdf conversion using Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional

    How can I use Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional to convert EXCEL files (to pdf) from MS Office 2007?

    I don't think Acrobat 7 can recognize Office 2007 files; Acrobat 7 was released way before Office 2007.
