Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Vers.8.1.3

Hello,
I'm working with Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.1.3 german.
When using "F1" or "Help -> complete help Acrobat 8 Professional" to get the Acrobat Help Viewer it only opens a window with "html-format".
How can I change ths without a complte new installation?
Greetings
Friedhelm

I don't recall if I ever ran version 8 in Snow Leopard. I know I have version 9 installed and it has been superceded by version X. So your problem could be that you have an incompatible version. Try posting at Adobe's support forum.

I am unable to convert certain files to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

I am unable to convert Word & PowerPoint files to pdf. (I am able to convert image files & excel)
I have enable macros in Word and still cannot convert the file.
I am getting the error popup:
Unable to open the document
Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file
I am running:
Windows XP Professional Ver 2002 SP 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Microsoft Office 2007

Open the document in WORD or PPT and print to the Adobe PDF printer. With PPT, you will have to select the fill page option. You may also be able to use PDF Maker in WORD or PPT. From your post I am assuming you are trying to open directly in Acrobat and all of these other things have to be working properly before the latter will work. If they work and you still can not open directly in Acrobat, then try a repair on Acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional w/ Windows 8.1

Previously I had Windows Vista Home Basic and everything ran smoothly with Acrobat. One thing that I loved was if I ran out of ink or could not print for some other reason, I had Adobe in the list of printers. Well Adobe is not showing up in the list of printers nor can I get it to show up there by trying several different things. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and my Windows system is now Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (though I’m starting to regret this). I’m seeing that 64 Bit is the problem but really? Is there no fix for this other than spending hundreds of dollars yet again? I’m beginning to think the computer and software is only for the very-very rich! Who can afford this stuff with its updates every year! They really know how to make a buck but what about the people who cannot afford to keep paying for these things? I know I could switch back but I did a clean install and in order to switch back, I’d have to find the Vista cd again (which I tried) or end up buying that again! Ugghh All I want is for the Adobe Acrobat to be available as a printer, the program itself works, just not what I guess Adobe is labeling as the “extras.” I have tried the below…but none of anything I have tried for the last three days has worked – not even talking to Adobe because they gave me the links to this forum and the online support – because their chat is for the rich who can purchase XI at 400-900 dollars! Please if anyone knows a solution to this that might help me?

Did the “Customization Wizard” but the other file (Transformer Tool) would not load install – received message “Acrobat Transforms Update did not find any valid installed Acrobat products or you do not have sufficient privileges to update registry.” Grrrrr
Installed PDFFilter64Setup.msi --- seemed to accept it but I’m not sure it changed a thing!

Keep in mind that AA8 is just about prior 64-bit and has not been updated to maintain currency with the newer OS and platforms. As a minimum, you need to do the updates to AA8. The updates are important for 64-bit systems. You may or may not get it to work. If it looks like it, please report what parts work and what parts fail. The links try to address the issues, but we need to know what works after you do the updates. Does Acrobat open (your note suggests it does) and appear to work? Does Distiller open and is it able to convert a PS file to a PDF (it can only operate on EPS and PS files)? Is there an Adobe PDF printer present? Can you print to the printer with print-to-file selected? Is AcroTray running in the background.
With a new system, new software is commonly required. In fact, Win 8.1 may have problems with old hardware like VISTA came on. I still run a Dell system with XP on it. Most things run fine (though I have to get rid of malware and such periodically). So you don't really have to update with every change, but you may be on your own with some things -- or depend on forums like this to try to help.

Adobe Acrobat 8 professional Mac will not upgrade from 8.1.5 to 11.0.9

Hi:
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional for Mac version 8.1.5 trying to upgrade to 11.0.9 but when I download the update it fails to grab the application. Although its visible, to advise to install the update it will not allow me to click on update. I am using a MacMini running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

From AA 8, you have to purchase the full AA XI. There is no upgrade for products before AA 9. You should not have been able to purchase XI from Adobe as an upgrade with only 8 as the prior product.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Document Compare (Revision Bars)

When comparing two documents using Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, is it possible to generate revision bars in the margin in sections where text has changed (the documents in question would be text-only).
Thanks!

But the image is there when I click, it's just very small.

How do you make a link in a .pdf file? (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Dear Adobe Acrobat Forum,
I would like to add a link to my .pdf file.
Once clicked on, I would like the link to send the user to another place in the same .pdf file
or open a separate .pdf file.
I've tried to resolve this on my own by going to both Acrobat help section and the InDesign help section as well as Googling "Acrobat 8 link" or something similar.......but to no avail.
So, can you please tell me how I can add a link to a .pdf file?
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have been creating .pdf files using the File > Export feature in Adobe InDesign CS3 (for the Mac).
Thanks!

Have you tried in Acrobat 8 to:
Choose Link tool.
Then choose as shown on as on this Graphic
Then when clicking next you should be greeted with this:
Choose open a file or open a weblink depending upon what you want to do.
You try some of the other choices. once you select what to do save as a copy and try. If This one doesn't work try some of the other choices in the first graphic. other panes will open up similar to second graphic except there will be other choices.

Thin Black Border on Video in Interactive PDF (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

Hi
I am having issues with embedded video in an interactive pdf (currently using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional).
I have placed my media mp4 file in the pdf. I would like the video to have no border, so I proceeded to Multimedia Properties to edit the Appearance and set the Border Type to Invisible Rectangle. I also editted the Playback settings for the Rendition to keep the player open "Forever once activated." But every time I view pages in my interactive pdf with video there is still a thin black border surrounding the videos on initial play. If I have already viewed the video and come back to the page, the border dissapears.
Is there a way to ensure the thin black border/outline never appears in the pdf, even when first opening and viewing the file? Does this have to do with the Acrobat 8 in particular? Please let me know if you are also encountering this problem or have a solution.

Thank you so much for your help.
I am now working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have embedded the same video. The borders have disappeared.
I have set the video activation settings to enable when "The page containing the content is opened". When the page is opened, I am now seeing a grey box (the size of the video) flash before the video is played. Do you know of a way to not have the grey box appear before the video plays? Or is there even a way to edit the color of this box so it is a less noticeable transition in my documet? I assume this is some sort of default setting to be displayed when the video loads. Any suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Random Crash (Access Violation)

hi all. first time poster. long time reader.
i have encountered an odd access violation problem - 'ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at "blah" referenced memory at "blah". The memory could not be "blah" - in 'acrobat.dll' recently with a customer who is experiencing seemingly random crashes with adobe acrobat 8 professional.
they are running the application off a citrix presnetation server 4.5 server (windows server 2003 R2 with service pack 2). each server is hosting about 8 or more users per server per day. every now and then, ie once a day, adobe acrobat crashes during use. there doesn't appear to be anything consistent in so far as the action the user is performing. they will be mid-way through marking up a document and it will just crash for one of them. all the others will continue working fine.
i have access to numerous crash dumps and nothing seems to really stand out...other than 'Acrobat_3000000!AVAcroALM_Destroy'. For example...

is 'AVAcroALM' to do with licensing?
other than advising them to bring citrix presentation server 4.5 up to date (HRP2) i'm at a loss what to advise. citrix often have issues with seamless published applications when spread across multiple monitors (as in this case), hence, my reason to ask them to bring their software up to date. often the funtion called will be different - often times 'Acrobat.dll!PDDocCreateWordFinderEx', other times 'Acrobat.dll!PDDocAcquirePage' and there are others.
i can post more of the mini-dump if required. any - and ALL - assitance appreciated.
thanks.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

We continue to get prompts to buy Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - or enter a serial number - each time we download documents off the internet. When we try to buy the software, we are directed to a website that says Error 404 (or something like that). I also believe we already have Adobe on our computer. How can we open and print Adobe documents from the internet? Thanks, Tracy

For viewing and printing you need only the free Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you haave a valid serial you should be able to install the Acrobat Pro. If you have registered your version you might be able to get the serial, if lost, from your Adobe login.
But Version 8 is quite old there might be some compatibility issues. If you want to buy it, you will be able only to buy the latest version which is at the moment Acrobat Pro X, when you go to Adobe (click on the red icon in the top left corner) you see a link to Acrobat somewhere on the page. There you can follow up to buy that product.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - will not uninstall

I tried to install this program with Windows 7, 64-bit numerous times and it would not work 100%. I even downloaded the "patch" file for windows 7, but the program would freeze every single time I opened it. I have since reverted back to just using Adobe reader, but CANNOT uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. The uninstall completely freezes about 60-65% of the way through, and I just end up closing it down. However, I cannot install any new software on my computer because the installer application keeps saying that another program is being installed (Adobe) when in actuallity it is NOT!
Pleeease provide any help as to how I can uninstall this program. The program is still listed when I got to the control panel and uninstall a program. I have tried Modify, Repair, & Remove all unsuccessfully. I have deleted all files from the C: drive except the "Resource" folder, which I keep getting Folder Access Denied and that I "require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder." Well, I am the administrator and the ONLY user on my computer, so I don't know what that is all about. I am beyond frustration with this, the microsoft forum told me to check here for assistance.

Hi meanwire,
I had a similar problem .
Here is the solution that worled for me. try it out:
1. Install Acrobat 8.0 (which i think you have already done)
2. Now go to the following link and download Acrobat 8.1 update
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3662
3. Apply the downloaded 8.1 update manually
4. Once the manual update is successful launch Acrobat and do Acrobat menu Help ->Check for updates
Hope it works for you!!

Adobe acrobat 8 professional crashes in mountain lion

I just bought a new IMAC with mountain lion. I realize some of the older programs no longer work with it but I reinstalled adobe acrobat 8 professional and it does not seem compatable. I tried downloading an update and a patch but it constantly freezes, trying to use the text edit doesn't work and crashes the program or locks it up. I need to be able to edit PDFS and the program no longer works. Any suggestions?

You could try using spotlight to search for PDF files... short of that, you may have to ask Adobe.

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

Hi
So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time - why?? Pls help!

Everytime I open a pdf I get the following message...
"Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional".
What does this mean?
I don't have Photoshop. Does that mean I need to get it to be able to look at pdf's?
Is there anything I can just download without having to buy it?
I have also just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0, if that info helps?
Please help, I need to work on a pdf for work due tomorrow!!

Hello,
When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
Please try to do one of the following solutions:
* Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
*Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
Acrobat
Adobe PCD
Adobe PDF
Important: Do not delete these folders.
4. Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
5. Enter your serial number when prompted.
Hope this one could help.
