Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

  • Adobe acrobat won't install - I don't get the user account control prompt

    I have a one year subscription to adobe acrobat XI.  My laptop crashed (motherboard issues), so I am now trying to download acrobat to my new laptop.  Is this allowed?  My subscription has another 6 months on it.
    I've signed into my adobe account, downloaded the installer, but after clicking "Run" nothing happens.  I don't get the "User Account Control" prompt.
    Can someone please help?
    Thanks

    Hey Goingup2,
    Please note that you can activate Acrobat subscription on maximum two computers using your Adobe ID credentials.
    In order to install and activate Acrobat on the second machine, you must first deactivate it on the first machine using the Help menu.
    You might get User Account Control prompt after selecting 'Privilege Level' option under Compatibility tab of Acrobat properties.
    Please check for the same and let me know.

  • Adobe Acrobat is not installing with CS5 Suite

    I have downloaded the CS5 Suite and Adobe Acrobat is not being included in that download for some reason. What is wrong and how can I correct this issue asap!
    thank you

    Hello,
    I am having the same issue. I purchased CS5 a few years ago and have reinstalled it onto my new computer (Was done successfully). When I went to download CS5, the adobe acrobat pro 9.3 (I believe this is the version) was not included. For the life of me, I cannot find the ability to download it anywhere. I'd prefer to not to have to purchase it again since I already bought it (even though it's been a few years).
    Any tips would be most appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

    Hi
    out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
    with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
    but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
    http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
    I did this tutorial with the same result
    www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
    what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

    A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
    How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
    Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
    Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • I purchased a full version of adobe acrobat a few years ago and my old computer broke down. I'd like to transfer the adobe acrobat I had installed in the previous laptop to my new one

    How do I transfer the adobe acrobat full version that I purchased and installed in my previous computer to my new one?

    You don't transfer it.  You install it and use the serial number from the original to activate it.  You might be able to find your serial number in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you previously installed it.  You can download the software thru the page linked below.

    If you have problems you should post in the forum that is dedicated to issues with installing Acrobat.  Acrobat Installation & Update Issues

    I downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - I signed in and now all I get is the Adobe Download Assistant with a prompt to keep downloading the program or help page. How can I launch the actual program and not the Assistant?
    Under the download or application file I only have the Assistant program

    Isabellasf have you ran the installation files which were downloaded?  By default they are downloaded to the download folder within your User folder.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Acrobat won´t install

    My G5 mac with OS 10.3.9 has had a well functioning Acrobat 6.0 for years.Suddenly Acrobat refuses to mount (install). I have tried restart. I have the same problem even when trying to start an Acrobat copy that I have on an external disk. I can´t find the original installer disc , so I would rather not uninstall the existing program. I have tried to download and install an Acrobat Reader (7.1) to see if my pdfs can be opened. But they did´nt. What am I to do?

    THANKS FOR ANSWERING, MIKE!
    Yes,I have used the application on my Mac for a long time.
    When clicking the icon, I get the message: "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly. Adobe was unable to install and must quit."
    I have tried Disk Utilities and fixed permissions. I have also tried to run the program from another user. No reaction.This is the case for Distiller too. Just before the incident I had organized and added a great deal of fonts with Extensiss Suitcase X, so could this be the reason? The fonts were put in the right place, and not in subfolders made by me. These fonts are working perfect in Indesign CS.
    I think I will be busy this weekend trying out different solutions......
