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 fix: "Adobe acrobat 9.5 has stopped working"

Whenever I try to open a file using Adobe Acrobat 9.5, I get the message: "Adobe acrobat 9.5 has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program". Acrobat reader 9.5 appears to work fine. I am also having problems when opening PDF files from the internet using Internet Explorer. If I try to open a PDF file with Internet Explorer I get and error message Box which says: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtimr Error! - Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe - R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. - Please contact the application's support team for more information." Then when I click OK, I get the following in IE: "Interner Explorer has closed this web page to help protect your computer - A malfaunction or malicious add-on has cause Internet Explorer to close this webpage. - More Information - Windows Data Execution Prevention detected an add-on trying to use system memory incorrectly. This can be caused by a malfunction or a malicious add-on. Other things you can do: Go online to learn about the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) security feature". I am running Windows 7 Pro version 6.1 (Build 7601, Service pack 1) and Internet Explorer 8 version8.0.7601.17514 and Adobe Acrobat 9.5 Standard. I would give you the version but I can't keep the program open long enough to check that. Please HELP I need Acrobat working on this computer.

Reader is not Acrobat, but I got the gist. To try to resolve the issue, open Acrobat and go to Help>Repair. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
The C++ library sometimes gets messed up and has to be reloaded. That would have to be done by way of MS.
After the repair, I would strongly recommend going back to Help>Check for Updates and install updates in order. Since you did not mention updates, I suspect you are running 9.0.0. Also, you did not mention your OS level as 32 or 64-bit. If it is a 64-bit system, you need to run the updates for AA9 to work properly.

Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Suddenly Not Working....

Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has been working fine on my PC for months. Then late in the day Tuesday, November 9th, I have a problem. When I got to open the program, I get the message "Adobe Acrobat 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." When I try to open the program, I see the top menu and then it stalls. A few seconds later is when I get the message.
I have gotten this message before usually after I've tried opening a bad file or something. Usually Acrobat is OK after I try and open up another file or just the program itself. This time that is not working. I turned my PC completely off and then powered it back on and it still will not run (still getting the "Adobe Acrobat 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message).
I did notice that there was some kind of update notification coming through on Tuesday but I didn't install it. I just closed the notice down. It was shortly afterwards that I found I could not open Acrobat 8. I opened up Adobe Reader and saw that there was an update for Acrobat 8 available. I DID the update but it is still not running.
Nothing on the Internet seems to help. I've checked the compatibility box, unchecked it to no avail. Any answers to this? If I need to provide additional information, I'll be happy to give it.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide. I use this program a LOT.

UPDATE: After a LOT of runaround, a "tech" person where I work got Acrobat 8 to work without getting the "Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has encountered a problem..." message. Alas, this was not the end of my headache.
When Adobe Acrobat was working well (just two short days ago), when I needed to scan a document I would select CREATE PDF then FROM SCANNER and the Acrobat Scan pop-up screen would appear. I would see my network scanner which is a Ricoh model number IS330DC and that model number is what I would see next to the Scanner: box on the Adobe Scan pop-up screen.
After they re-installed Adobe 8, I could see this scanner listed but when I select it, after a couple of seconds I get a message that says:
Twain Driver Ver.3
9745:
Error has occurred in the scanner
After I press OK I get this message:
Adobe could not communicate to this device
So the tech guy goes to the Ricoh site, gets the drivers for the scanner, deletes the old ones that were on my C:\ drive and reinstalls these new ones.
And it still didn't work.
THEN the tech guy logs onto my PC using his account (which I think has more "rights" like an administrator than I do). He goes through the same process as I've written above (uninstalls Adobe 8, reinstalls it. Does the same with the Ricoh drivers for the IS330DC model). He then goes to do a scan and voila: it works fine. Just as it did before.
BUT then when I log back onto my PC using my login ID, it doesn't work. I get the same messages that I got before about the 9745: Error and such.
Now the tech thinks that it has to do with my User ID (or my account). He wants to create another account on my PC (and move all my C:\ data to it). This will take a long time and I hate it when tech people do this kind of thing because I invariably lose something that I really need. And he can't guarantee that this will work. The last thing he'll do after this is give me a new PC. Great -- all of this because of a seemingly minor Adobe Acrobat problem?
If I got to another person's PC and login using my ID and password, I am able to use Adobe Acrobat and the scanner with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea how this might be fixed without having to resort to (what I think are) my tech guy's drastic measures?

To go along with Michael's suggestion, something like AA9.2 is needed for X64 systems I think. Also, be careful. Acrobat is not licensed for use on a server. Using it as a user is fine, but not as a server application. Read the license carefully.

My Adobe Acrobat X (CS6) suddenly stopped working!

My Adobe Acrobat X (CS6) suddenly stopped working, I can't open or edit documents. I am on Windows 8.1, this just started happening yesterday. I have re-installed it to repair any possible problems, I am a registered user. Please help me!! Can't submit my assignments if I can't use my product!

The license info would be on the jewel case or CD that you got from the university. If it was downloaded, they typically provide the license key in that process that you have to write down or copy. As long as you are still covered under the license, maybe another individual has the license key available. It would be appropriate for them to ask for confirmation on your payment of the license fee or whatever process the university has.
In the meantime, go to the Start>Control Panel>Programs & ... When the program list comes up search for Acrobat.exe and do a repair.

Adobe Acrobat Pro Licence is not working any more

Hi, Adobe Acrobat Pro is not opening any more and giving the error "Licence is not working any more". I have a CS4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I tried all the suggestions in the Help Forum. What remains is to install CS4 again. Is there any risk doing that? Or is there any other option. Best, Felix

Hi xilef79,
Have you tried all the suggestions in this Help document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-stopped-windows.html
Please let us know how it goes.

License for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro no longer works -- Why?

I am getting a very strange error message that indicates my license is no longer valid. I have captured a screen image of the error and would like for someone to look at it. Hopefully, this problem can be solved quickly, as I am in the middle of some Acrobat work. PLEASE HELP!
Note so far I have tried the following (in this order):
1. Did a repair from the Help pulldown menu.
2. Downloaded from Adobe a completely new Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (AA Pro 9) and then did a repair.
3. Disable Norton's firewall protection.
4. Uninstalled AA Pro 9 and then re-installed the newly downloaded AA Pro 9 (in 2.)
None of these fixed the problem. I have a Windows Vista (32-bit) platform.
Here are the details of the error message:
Label: Licensing for this product has stopped working
Contents:
You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling
and reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe Customer
support for help.
Message was edited by: Birdy40

After you uninstalled, you should have done two additional steps before the reinstall: 1. Deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and 2. run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html. These are not sure to solve the problem, but in many cases the problem is related to errors in the registry that the cleaner resolves. Sometimes, there are also some corrupt files left in the Acrobat folder, particularly some bad addons that can be an issue.

Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 Not Working

Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 has quit working. It won't display old PDFs and it won't create new ones correctly.
I tried a repair. I tried a reinstall. It w still won't work.
I downloaded the lastest reader and it will read the old PDFs.
Any one have an idea what i wrong?

I apologize to everyone. When I sat back and thought about it, I realized i had changed the default open program for PDFs to notepad.

Ran Belarc on a computer, reimaged it, now Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard isn't working with the key from Belarc. Any ideas?

Ran Belarc on two older computers and reimaged them or a client. After setting them up and finding an Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard disk I put the program back on both machines, however when I put in the serial number (which was the same for both machines according to Belarc) Acrobat said that the serial numbers were incorrect. Unsure of what the issue is here. Any help is appreciated.

Hi behind7proxies,
Please make sure you are using the right serial number for the right installer.
Acrobat 9 Std serial key will not work for Acrobat 9 Pro software.
You might want to refer to the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-invalid-serial-number-acrobat.html

My adobe acrobat 9 standard does not work recently for converting word documents to pdf - what up?

why would adobe acrobat 9 standard stop working for converting word docs to pdf?

Are you running at least version 9.2 of Acrobat? Are you able to log in with a new user account on Windows to see if it works?

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

Will an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Upgrade license work to upgrade an Adobe Acrobat XI Standard installation?

The buying guide for the XI Pro Upgrade (here - Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro) does not list Adobe XI Standard in the left hand column... but I currently have XI Standard and want to to go XI Pro, will this work?

Hi Mike ,
There is no such policy to upgrade license from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat XI Pro.
If you have the subscription for the Standard version ,you need to get that cancelled and get a new subscription for Acrobat Pro.
If you have the retail version or if you have purchased the software ,you can return that and get a new retail version for Acrobat XI Pro.
For more information ,please contact the technical support.
