Adobe Acrobat 8 copying problem

I have tried the Acrobat HELP feature and it wasn't helpful and so
I turn to you! Problem: When I highlight and attempt to copy a word or phrase
from a PDF the Acrobat application hiccups and begins to shut down- this has
only just begun happening. I then get a kindly message from my computer that
says diagnostics are being run but in the mean time Acrobat succeeds in shutting
down and my computer comes up with no diagnosis. Irritating to say the least.
Have any of you had similar issues with Acrobat - if so how did you resolve it? Thanks!

Updating worked---thank you so much!

Adobe Acrobat Activation Problem

One of our users is having a problem with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 OEM. It was working fine until a recent update. Now it opens for about ten seconds and then closes. If I open Distiller, it says that Acrobat needs to be activated which it already has been. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but the same problem remains. I've also uninstalled with Microsoft Windows Installer and then reinstalled. An Adobe tech has worked on this for about an hour to no avail. There's got to be some way to activate this copy and use. Appreciate your assistance.

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.

Preview / Adobe Acrobat reader problems

Hi,
My Mac was working fine until two days ago when I installed Adobe CS3.
Before, when I tried to download PDFs from my university intranet, Preview would open the files within Safarai. If I saved a PDF and opened it later, again, Preview worked fine.
But CS3's Adobe Acrobat kept crashing when I tried to open files in it, and I couldn't access any PDFs posted on the from the university intranet. Also, Adobe Acrobat kept crashing when I tried to open it directly. Photoshop gave me an error, but left me "ignore".
I reinstalled CS3. Same problems.
I UN-installed CS3. Same problem. Now when I try to open a PDF from the intranet, I get either a blank box where the PDF should be viewed within Safari, or a message saying something about Adobe not being able to locate something. But Adobe should have been uninstalled and I'd hoped Preview would be the default again??
Please does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi again,
For some reason, yesterday the Library folder seemd to be empty. Today there was an Adobe plug-in file in there, so I deleted it. I also deleted the Adobe folder from the Library. As far as I can tell, I have no more files relating to Adobe on my Mac.
However, I'm still having the same problem -- I can't open PDFs from my university's intranet. Preview does not seem to be the default any more.
However, if I click on a PDF that I already have saved, it DOES open Preview.
Please does anyone have an ideas? I need to get this worked out this weekend before I go away and so I can access files over the Christmas holidays.
Thank you.

Adobe Acrobat Pro problem .. Please help!

We have been using Adobe Acrobat Pro for my school laptop for last 4 years without any problems. Recently I have started getting error messages, where it says "It is a read only file. Please save the file under new name or folder". Sometimes it works if I change the name but sometimes the changes are lost. It is so frusttating as the laptop and the program is used for my 6th grade student with special needs. I updated the program but the problem still exists.
Thank you for your help.

I think you're expecting too much of a conversion which will try to preserve the text and graphics, but not really the layout. Especially as HTML is much less flexible than PDF in the placing of things on page.
Best to start again using a state-of-the-art HTML editor.

Adobe Acrobat Reader problem

I have not been able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to work on my phone. My company distributes instruction via pdf files, and I'd been taking my laptop with me on service calls. I still have to do that, because I can't access any .pdf file on my phone except the overly red introductory how-to blurb. One thing that stands out for me is that the app doesn't show up in my app list what so ever. It's listed when I find the 'manage applications' tab. I've tried to download the update, and still no functionality. I uninstalled the update, in hopes of being able to re-install. Is the apps list supposed to include the Adobe Acrobat reader in the list/grid, or am I supposed to only have to go to my list of downloads to get to .pdf's. The downloads list shows where I've tried to download the file, but it always says "download failed".
Am I doing something incorrectly, or is this something that I need to do a factory reset on the phone to rectify? I have the updated Verizon software, but haven't checked to see if there's anything to update to the operating system.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the only Adobe Reader from the Play Store that is from Adobe Systems multiple times.
Is there another setting besides the wifi/data connection option I need to change?
I've gone through the Settings menu to the Applications menu and selected Manage Applications. The Adobe Reader is listed under "All", and when I select that particular app, it's indicating that version 10.1.1 is on the phone. The only options available are to back out of this tab in the menu, or selecting Force Stop.
I suspect that in the first few days of having the phone and the "ooh look at mommy's new toy!" someone may have deleted or removed the app somehow, or otherwise caused some kind of disconnection or malfunction. Going back to the Play Store to try again, the Adobe Reader app only has "Open" or "Update" as options for downloading. I downloaded the update (again) and it is showing version 10.3.0, but the downloads are still failing.
What other little quirks and details am I missing as far as settings, updates, or menu selections? Or should I just back up my pictures and files, and reset the phone back to factory defaults and start over again?

Possible Adobe Acrobat Reader Problems?

I recently tried to bring up up a website that requires Adobe Acrobat Reader and he site stated it could not detect Acrobat Reader on my computer. I went to the Adobe website, which listed reader 9.4 for OS X 10.4.11. Is Adobe Reader similar to Flash Player where Adobe is not Supporting Mac Power PC and you are not able to load the most recent Reader for your computer? After loading from the Adobe site, I tried to mount the web page again. This time I did not get the notification that it did not recognize Reader on my computer. But it produced a dark screen with an in-progress circle rotating in the middle of the screen. After 5 minutes the web page still had mounted and I started wondering what the cause might be. Is there a later version I can load that will support OS X 10.4.11?

Hi Darrell, you guessed it...
Is Adobe Reader similar to Flash Player where Adobe is not Supporting Mac Power PC and you are not able to load the most recent Reader for your computer?
Nothing for PPC.
Might see if PDF plug-in helps...

Adobe Acrobat .pdf Problem

Hi Everyone,
This morning I was unable to download a .pdf file from a web site. I went to a couple of other web sites where I know .pdf files downloaded fine for me in the past. I also discovered I could not open .pdf files I have saved in my computer.
I trashed all Acrobat Reader 7 files that I could find, went to the Adobe web site and downloaded the file. Now I can open .pdf files saved in the computer but I still can NOT download .pdf files from web sites.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Is not opening in the browser? Can you Control-Click, or Right-Click if you have a 2 button mouse, and choose "Save linked file to disk" If so, see if it opens in the stand-alone Reader.
Check the support pages at Adobe

Adobe Acrobat XI and Microsoft Expressions 4

Background: Windows 8.1 box, Adobe Acrobat XI (ver. 11.0.07), Microsoft Web Expressions 4
User has Web Expressions open to the intranet web page access, she's able to use that to make changes, changes are seen reflected on intranet page. However when she tries to open a pdf of the intranet via the Web Expressions there's an error message "Adobe has stopped working". I went to the actual intranet page and was able to open one of the pdfs using Adobe Acrobat, as well as opening other pdfs that she had resident on her pc. I created a pdf using the Acrobat tab on Word, then opened it up into Adobe Acrobat, no problems.

Additional information:
I uninstalled both the Adobe Acrobat and Web Expressions, then re-installed each, first Acrobat then Web, still gave error, then Web and Acrobat, also gave error. I did find that when the Acrobat was open, then I selected the link in Web Expressions it would open fine, it's when the Web Expressions is launching the Acrobat that it has the problems. I installed Adobe Reader XI and made it the default, some links would open normally, however other links wouldn't open at all, no error though. I spoke with an Adobe technician, he suggested I go into the Acrobat icon and change the Compatibility Mode to XP SP3, however the error still occurred. He then said to put it to Windows 7, again error occurred. Lastly he said to run it as administrator, however I had given the user full admin rights and the error still occurred. I still set it to run as administrator, still gave the error message. This only means that when I open the desktop icon it's in compatibility mode, however when it's launched via Web Expressions is when it's having the error. I did try setting the Web Expressions to compatibility mode to XP and 7, as well as run as administrator, same error message. I found out that other users that have Web Expressions and Adobe Acrobat, as well as using it in this manner, do not have that error message.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

Dear ladies and gentlemen!
I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner
mailto: [email protected]

The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

Adobe acrobat reader 9 problem saving forms and copying photos

I used adobe acrobat reader 6 at
work and I have a form that I save with new data. I am also able to copy text and photos using version 6.
When I try to save edited forms and copy files from versiion 9 It wont allow me to do that.
Is their any way that I can copy text, photos and save forms in Adobe version 9?
When I try to save forms in version 9 it states that I am unable to save the form. When I try to copy text or photos it will not allow me to copy.

Are you talking about Reader or Acrobat. These are two different programs and Reader definitely has restrictions. Reader used to be called Acrobat Reader before version 6, but that has been gone a long time. The change was likely because of the confusion between Acrobat and Reader. The problems you indicate are suggestive of Reader, not of Acrobat.

Problems with our copy of Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional.

We have two problems with our copy of Adobe Acrobat proffesional which we have recently re installed back on the same PC following so we thought the relevant transfer activation instructions.
The first is that when we first start the program with no file loaded Both Transfer Activation and Activate Acrobat are greyout out. This in tiself is not a problem but it may have a bearing on our real problem.
We have for a few years used Acrobat Proffesional successfully to sign released drawing files which have been 'printed' to a PDF file by a third party printer driver. Recently though when we try to load any of this type of file the Acrobat menu stays greyed out and both Adobe Acrobat and the PDF file are listed in Windows task manager. Acrobat is completely locked up and has to be exited via task manager. If I load PDF files from other sources the abot symptoms accur only briefly then the program menus re activate and the PDF file disappears from task manager. It is as thought our PDF drawing files are failing to complete loading.
Does anyone know how I can find out if our copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 is actually activated?
Does anyone know what might have started to prevent out drawing files from loading.
Thanks
Chris

Good point but this one does require activation.
Our real issue is that if we load one of our own drawing filkes, even one previously edited or signed with no problems it now completely locks up Adobe acrobat and we cannot do anything at all in Acrobat.

ADOBE ACROBAT 8.1 ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM

I had been using Acrobat 8 for about six weeks without problem when it started giving the Windows XP message ADOBE ACROBAT 8.1 ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM and must shut down. This was when trying to edit Document Properties; sometimes I could get one bookmark edited before shutdown, but any attempt at changing the security settings brought the message immediately. The support pages are difficult to navigate and the only clues were in the archive posts. Having found the error in the Windows event log, it was definitely the admplugin.apl. The suggested corrections for this seemed rather involved, so I searched for the file on C drive and found several of them.
I simply deleted the file in ProgFiles\Adobe\Acrobat8.0\SPPlugins dated 10/05/2007 and copied in the file from
ProgFiles\Adobe\Acrobat8.0\Setup Files\{..}\Data1.cab dated 22/10/2006.
This file can also be found on the Acrobat CD. All now seems to be well.
Hope this helps for anyone else new to Acrobat

Usually it is best to do a repair to Acrobat from the control panel in such cases. If that does not work, then an uninstall and reinstall may be needed. There may be an issue with the product registration with the uninstall (I am not too familiar with that) and you may want to check that out first (or wait for others to say there is no problem). In any case, try a repair now.

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.
