Adobe Acrobat 8 - file updates not installing on Win 7 Professional

How do I install MSP file updates to Adobe Acrobat after downloading them? I have just installed Acrobat 8.0 from the original installation CD on a new PC running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) and have downloaded the update to 8.1.0 to begin with, but on clicking it get the error messsage 'This patch could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package'. Updater is not working at all. It says it cannot find any updates. Even when I place the MSP file in the Updater folder to which it is supposed to download updates, it does not find updates. What is wrong? Why won't this patch install? Thank you! I really don't want to be stuck with 8.0.0 when I know that years of updates through to 8.3.1 are available, but for some reason they will not install intuitively.

Hi ,
Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Win 7. Please find the mentioned Kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html#main_System_requirements_for_Acrobat_8_Pro showing system requirement for installing Acrobat 8. As Acrobat version 8 is very old product so I would recommend you to purchase Acrobat11 which has more enhanced features and functionalities.

Romit Sinha

How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Not Installing

When I click on the shortcut to Acrobat 9 Pro, the program says it is preparing to install. This program was installed with CS4. At any rate, if I let it continue to install, the install fails with a message that it cannot access C:\Config.msi\48b6b5d.rbf. That file doesn't exist, or at least I cannot see it.
I have tried to reinstall from my CS4 disk with the same result.
Any help for this issue?
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
CS4 Design Premium

To all:
Thanks for your help on this. Here is where I stand right now. I stopped clicking on the icon pinned to my taskbar, the one that always starts the install process, and double clicked on the .exe in My Computer. It started 9 Pro without a hitch. I then unpinned the icon on the taskbar and repinned the icon from the .exe in My Computer. I clicked on this and it started the install once again. I got rid of the pinned icon again and pinned the .exe to the start menu. This works. Bizarre.

Hi DanKao,
You can try this document:
Error "...plug-in is unresponsive" | Google Chrome | Debugging Flash Builder project
For Mozilla:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-plugin
Also if there is any toolbar installed on the browser, try uninstalling it from the browser and check the performance.
If it works then good other wise you can try the following steps:
1. Uninstall Flash Player from Control Panel --> Programs ( Both Active X and Plugin )
2. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player and Sockwave
Flash Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
3. Run the Uninstaller for both of them.
4. Delete the Flash Folder from the following locations:
     C:\Windows\System32\Macromed
     C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
     C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
5. Download Flash Player
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 15_active_x.exe
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 15_plugin.exe
Download Both and install.
6. Download Shockwave Flash:

You need to open this link in Firefox and download the Full installer after choosing operating system and then again open the same link in IE and download the Full installer after choosing operating system.
Thanks,

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

I get this error when trying to print from a website.
Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
You will be directed to a site where you can download
the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

Have you done ALL OF THIS?
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

Starting today, Firefox will not open Adobe Acrobat files in Adobe Reader, despite my putting Reader as default in Applications tab.

Until today, I had no trouble opening Adobe Acrobat files with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an old version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express that does not recognize later versions.) Starting this morning, when I click on an Acrobat file, I am asked which program I want to open it with. Even when I click "Do this automatically...", it doesn't do so. It asks me every time. I went into Tools, Applications, and changed all of the pdf related issues to open with Adobe Reader 9.5. This also doesn't work.

What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files

Ever since I upgraded to Marvericks, Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files. How can I fix this. It previously worked fine.
I create tagged pdf files in InDesign to be compatible with 508 accessibility standards.The files read aloud on a Mac with OS X Lion but not on Mavericks.

no, still no resolution. It is very frustrating. I did have one 8 page document that it will read the first page but nothing else.
Did you find an answer?

I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but installing software does not recognize Acrobat 7.0 Pro for upgrade

That's correct.
Acrobat 8 is the earliest version from which you can upgrade to Acrobat XI

Unfortunately, Acrobat 7 is not eligible.

Hello all, i am in need of the newer version of Mobile Device Support as when updating the file was not installed, would anyone tell me where i could find a new version? thankyou

Hello all, i recently updated my itunes but when i did this the Mobile Device Support file did not install, would anyone be able to help me find a download? thanks

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
