Adobe Acrobat 8.1 refuses to stay open.

Adobe Acrobat 8.1 closes. It says "AA8 cannot be launched at this time. you must launch at least 1 other suite component (such as Ad. photoshop) before launching AA8 Pro."
This happened with AA8, so I updated. Didn't change. I am using older CS3 program with no problems for years -- now it won't even let me open a pdf file.

I had a similar problem just now and what worked for me was i archived a email in MS outlook using the Adopbe PDF dropdown menu and then I had full access to X Pro again.
Can't help with CS3. Sorry
Hope that this helps

Adobe Acrobat 9.5 refuses to work

Having reiinstalled CS4 (german language) after an upgrade form Win XP to Win 7 (32bit), all programs worked fine for a week. Then, out of the blue, Acrobat quits working: The message, a few seconds after reading a pdf document 8created with the same version), ist "Adobe Acrobat 9.5 funktioniert nicht mehr" ("Adobe Acrobat 9.5 does not funktion any more"). A problem solving procedure ist indicated (whatever that might do?) but after a few more ceconds the message is completed in saying that the program has to be closed now.
I installed an update (Adobe Acrobat professional 9.5.5) but this did not help either.
The other CS4 programs seem to work properly, though I havent' had time to test them all.
An addditionl error message window opened saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Where, the hell, do I get such a thing???
Need urgent help.
Wolfgang

Liebe(r) Mylenium,
vielen Dank für den Hinweis auf DDE!
Leider kann aich weder in der Firewall noch im Virenscanner irgnd einen Hinweis finden. Auch in den jeweiligen Protokollen kann ich nichts über eine Blockierung finden, die irgend etwas mit dem Problem zu tun haben scheint. Und in der Registry die richtigen Einträge zu identifizieren, zu analysieren und ggf. zu bearbeiten geht über meine Kenntnisse zu Windows doch eindeutig hinaus. Ich möchte das System eigentlich ja "nur" benutzen.
Ich habe jetzt einen anderen Ansatz aufgegriffen und schlichtweg die ganze CS4 de- und dann wieder neu installiert (Acrobat allein reichte nicht). Jetzt funktioniert wieder alles. Zwar bin ich jetzt wieder bei Acrobat 9.0 pro, aber das reicht für meine Zwecke. Ich sehe nur mit etwas gemischten Gefühlen dem vorhersehbaren Versuch entgegen, dass Acrobat sich selbst wieder auf v.9.5 updaten möchte. Ich muss sehen, dass ich das verhindere, dann habe ich vielleicht eine dauerhafte Chance. Immerhin hat das Programm ja unter Windows XP einige Jahre lang einwandfrei getan.
Noch mals besten Dank für die Hilfestellung!
Beste Grüße, Wolfgang

How do I get Firefox to use the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard plugin to open PDF docs in the browser window?

I have Acrobat 9.0 Standard installed on my laptop and I've followed the guides provided by Adobe and Firefox for using the provided Adobe plugin file with Firefox so that I can view PDF documents in the Firefox browser window, but neither one has worked for me. I have the location of the Nppdf32.dll file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Browser) and Acrobat is configured to "Display PDF in browser", but whenever I open a pdf on a website, my options are still only to either open it externally with Acrobat or save it. What do I do?

Your response identifies the issue exactly! My website is hosted by GoDaddy. I have forwarded your linked information to their tech department. The URL below my signature is the site having the problem I've outlined when attempting to access linked images.

Adobe acrobat x pro suddenly will not open in windows 8

Adobe Acrobat X Pro has been working fine. It suddenly stopped opening at all. It will not open any pdf documents, and the program itself will not open

Hi 4blake4,
I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
Is there any error message or any error code once you launch the application?
If you are using CS6 Suite please follow these steps :-
Launch another CS6 application, such as Photoshop.
Choose Help > Deactivate.
Follow the onscreen prompts to deactivate.
Close the application.
Launch the same CS6 Suite product again.
Sign in with your Adobe ID associated with CS6 suite to re-activate.
Launch Acrobat X
Regards,
Aadesh

Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof - PDFs will not open in Adobe automatically

I have a workstation that has Adobe Acrobat 8 professional installed. I was first notified that the user complained that each time he opened a PDF in an Email, it would open in Explorer. I had him save a document to his c; drive and did a view file type. In that listing, there was no Adobe professional listed. I attempted to browse to the adobe.exe file but each time, it would default back to explorer, even if I checked the box for it to default to the adobe.exe file that I browsed to. I also noted that adobe never became an application in that listing.
We uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it. Still not successful. We ended up installing Adobe Reader, but the user wants it to open in Adobe Professional. I know that he can save the document then open it with Adobe profesional, but this is an extra step and he would like to be able to just double click on the file and open into Adobe Professional.
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

QUOTE>>>To clarify, you would need to first check to see if the PDF extension is set to open (screenshot.20). THIS IS THE AREA THAT PDF IS NOT IN.
If it is not set to open with Acrobat <your version here> (screenshot.21), then you will need to manually tell the computer what program to use. This is where it becomes important to know the filename you are looking for. Adobe is a company; Acrobat is a program. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO AND OF COURSE I KNOWN I USED THE WRONG NAME / WORD HERE BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE CORRECT FILE. WHEN I CHOSE THE ACROBAT.EXE FILE IT WOULD STILL OPEN IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
I have a different version than you do, but as an example, my program is located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe I'M IN THE RIGHT AREA AND GOT THE RIGHT FILE NAME. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE.
Can we get off the wrong word use and get back to a solution please. I am in the right folder c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 8.0\acrobat.exe and I am browsing for ACROBAT.exe (not ADOBE.exe - again wrong word in my first discussion)
Bad day, sorry!

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 6.0.1 will not open after update

I was prompted to add a patch to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 running on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 After down loading the patch and installing, Adobe Acrobat will not open. A prompt comes up warning me; "The currently selected language resources are not supported by the current version of Adobe Acrobet. Please reselect the language in the international Systems Preference panel." I did this to no avail. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Did the update info come from Adobe? In any case, you might try a repair (not sure how that is done on a MAC. You can also download updates from Adobe at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh.

I wasted $15 on Adobe Acrobat and it refuses to download. I want a refund.

As stated, after paying for Adobe Acrobat, it won't download. I want my money back.

Hi jm7051,
I'm sorry that you haven't been able to download your software. If you'd like a refund, please Contact Customer Care.
If you'd like to give it another try before canceling, please try to download directly from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Won't Stay Open!!!!

Just got it Pricey Software Not Functing!!! Everytime

Hi,
On Win go to
For Windows (32 bit), copy the Import-Export folder from:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\Optional Plug-Ins\
into
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\Plug-Ins\
For Windows (64 bit), copy the Import-Export folder from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\Optional Plug-Ins\
into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\Plug-Ins\
*The version number is 11 or 12, depending on the Photoshop version you have installed.
On mac
copy the ImportModules folder from:
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements <version number>/Support Files/Optional Plug-Ins
into
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements <version number>/Support Files/Plug-Ins
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
Alternatively,
Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
- Disable any anti-virus software just to confirm if it is not blocking PSE Editor.
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.

I HAVE ADOBE ACROBAT PRO. IT WILL NOT OPEN/WORK.

HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM BEFORE. HPPSC217.
WAS TOLD TO GO TO PHOTOSHOP AND DEACTIVATE ACROBATX PRO.
WILL TRY RE-INSTALLING - DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

Hi up and at em,
What happens when you try to launch Acrobat? Are you getting an activation error? Or a different type of error? Please elaborate. It would also be helpful to know what operating system you're on (Mac or Windows, and version).
We look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

Cannot open pdf files from websites with Adobe Acrobat X

Since purchasing and having my IT technician install Adobe Acrobat X, I can no longer open pdf documents that are hosted on websites. We have many pdf documents on our business network and MS SharePoint sites. Since the upgrade these will not open directly when selected in the MS Browser. I can download the files to my computer and then open them. I see the same issue with pdf documents hosted on "outside" websites. I have set associations to pdf files to Adobe Acrobat 10 rather than the reader that is also installed on this machine but still have this same issue.
The error message window that opens in the browser says, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
I have tried with the Adobe application running and with it not running and there is no difference.
Is there something I can check or have my IT technician check to try and get this issue resolved?
I am runing Windows XP Professional with the latest service packs.
I am using Internet Explorer 8
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your mail.
Here's the link to the KB article that gives the details of how to configure the SharePoint server for Acrobat X. These changes enable PDF files opened directly from the SharePoint browser to be recognized as SharePoint files by Acrobat and this can be verified by going to the File menu in Acrobat. The File menu will have a menu item SharePoint Server.

Open PDF files with adobe acrobat

Greetings,
I need to open my PDF files in Adobe Acrobat NOT in Preview. How do I set my full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X for Mac to open all PDF files by clicking on the icon without having to choose adobe acrobat to open each time?
Thank you; these simple savings of time compounded over a year really add up.
Doug Kennedy

Select a PDF file and do a Get-Info (command-I) Where it says "Open with" select the drop down menu and then select Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Then select the box "Change All"
BTW, this bit is Mac 101. Get a good book on Mac OS.
