Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional/Adobe Reader 9

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me the difference
Between
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional &
Adobe Reader 9?
And can I have the both installed together?
Thank You
Phillip

First, Adobe doesn't support having both on the same machine. It can cause problems. Adobe Reader does exactly that it reads pdf files. Acrobat Standard, Pro, and Extended are tools for reading and creating and editing pdf files.

PDFs look different in Adobe reader and Acrobat professional compared to the built in PDF viewer on windows 8

Hi there,
I have been trying to narrow down an issue we have been having for some time in printing PDF files and finding that they look different on paper compared to screen. Up until today our big KIP plotter got the blame, but as I have been collecting notes on a little windows 8 tablet I noted that PDFs opened in the windows PDF viewer have the same visual defects as the printouts. My example today is that on a CAD drawing there is a small box/frame with a number in their, I tried printing and the frame was completely blacked out. As a test I tried saving the PDF as a TIFF file from Adobe Acrobat professional and this file had the same fault as the printed copy. When I open it in the windows 8 pdf viewer I can see that there is a shading within this box that does not show on Adobe Reader (latest version 11.0.10.32), the adobe reader and acrobat pro version both show a white background to the box. We have been having lots of issues with sections being missing from drawings and overly feint lines.
I am not sure where to start trying to narrow down why we are getting different results in different PDF readers. Is there anyone who maybe able to point me in the right direction? It almost feels like the shading or colour density is not being consistent when PDFs are being opened in different packages.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Some PDF viewers comply with the PDF ISO Standard (ISO 32000) "just enough" while others (such as Adobe's) fully comply.
As with anything there's a cost to using anything that comes from a "just enough" approach.
Be well...

You are using form buttons for comments?

Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

Same pdf is different in adobe reader en acrobat professional

Hello,
I have a slight problem with a PDF file.
I have one pdf.
When I open this pdf within Adobe Reader, everything looks fine, when i open exact the same PDF with acrobat professional, something weird is happening.
The font't are changed.
Also, some of the text is in italic.
I hope anyone can give me a solution to solve this issue.
Excuse me for my bad English, i'm from Belgium, so English is not my foreign language.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Hello,
Yes i did check the preferences and from here they are the same.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, but i thought you cannot change the font type in Adobe itself.
Normaly i would guess, i should show the pdf how it was created.
If not, do yuo know which preference I have to look at?
Thanks in advance.

I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Reader

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (AP) and Adobe Reader 9
(AR) installed on a WinXP system. Both AP and AR work, but if one
is open I cannot start the other: If AP is open and I try to open
a pdf file in AR (right click -> open with... -> Acrobat Reader
9) the file opens in AP. If AR is open and I try to open a pdf
file in AP the opposite happens.
I am sure there must be a setting somewhere that turns this
behavior off but I cannot find it.
Any help is appreciated.

You are simply finding another reason why Adobe does not recommend this combination. You may be able to try the /n command line directive to see if it allows multiple runs between the two.

Acrobat 9 Professional forms missing data after upgrade to Adobe Reader 10

My principal has a macbook pro with OS 10.6 on it, and Acrobat 9 Professional. One of the Xerox technicians in our district came around and updated Adobe Reader on her computer to AR 10. This caused her computer to lose the license key for Acrobat 9 Professional. Now all the of the data that she had saved in forms done in Acrobat 9 Pro has been lost. When she opens these files, the forms are blank. Is there any help for recovering the data that was lost from these files?

As long as the tech did not remove Acrobat, it should still be there. I am not that familiar with MACS, but that is the case for Windows. I would suggest that the tech be requested to rectify the issue. It may be that she just needs to open Acrobat and then the file. It may be that a MAC has a file association like the PC, and in that case she needs to set the file association back to Acrobat.
If she maintains both AA9 and ARX on the machine, she should also update them. It may be an update issue that is causing the data to not be seen. Some versions have had problems with seeing the data unless the cursor is in the field of interest. So is the data really still there or not?
Hope my limited thoughts about the MAC is of help. I am sure that some MAC folks will be by to give help.

Weblink behavior Adobe Reader vs. Acrobat Professional

I have a PDF that contains a link to a web site. If the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader (7.0.0) and the machine has IE7 the link works whether or not IE7 is already open. If the document is opened in Acrobat Professional (7.0.9) and the machine has IE7 the link only works if IE7 is already open, if IE7 isn't already open nothing happens. Right clicking and selecting Open Weblink in Browser doesnt do anything either. Is there a way to setup the PDF to ensure it will open IE7 if it isn't already open? If so how do I do that?
Thanks,
Ann.

There are 2 issues here (this question is asked a LOT !!!)
When Acrobat or Reader are opened and the PDF is closed, the program stays running in the background, so the next time a PDF is opened the "current" program is used
There also seems (I think) to be a difference/problem in the way the Windoze Registry handles file associations, so the program you WANT is not always the program that is USED to open a given file
You might use the forum search, looking for something like
acrobat reader file assocation
To see if one of the MANY previous discussions has a solution

Use Acrobat Professional to make text editable in Adobe Reader

Hello,
I have a .pdf document that needs to be edited.
There are certain fields in the .pdf that needs to be editable in Adobe Reader.
For example; we need information from other companies in that .pdf.
It says "[company name]", can I make it in a certain way with Acrobat professional so that when our client clicks in that field it that he can type there.
Is this possible with Acrobat Professional?
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! It worked!
One more question (please also check the attached picture for this question): Can I make it in a way that the text moves when I type something longer then the box?
Thanks!

I downloaded the trial acrobat professional and this is blocking me from updating adobe reader.

Does anyone know how I can get the adobe reader update?

So, you installed the trial of Acrobat Pro?
And used it for a month?
And the trial ran out?
And don't want to buy it?
But have left it on your system?
That's the problem. If you don't want to buy it, then uninstall the trial. (DON'T delete files, that won't help)

Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional overwritten by Adobe Reader 7

I have had both the Acrobat Professional coexisting with the Reader for two years. Today my Reader updated and now my Acrobat Professional won't start anymore. Normally, after such a update, I could make a PDF file open in the Professional as a default. Now it only opens in my Reader. Starting Professional opens Reader. Why would Reader do that? It isn't logical for a program to overwrite/uninstall. Now I can't edit my PDF files...

Go to the control panel, select add and remove programs, wait for the screen to be filled and go down to AA7. Then select repair.

Activating Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on new computer when old computer died and cannot deactivate

My computer died with acrobat professional 8 installed. When I tried to install and activate acrobat 8 professional on my new computer, it would not activate until I deactivated the software on my old computer. My old computer is completely dead and therefore I cannot deactivate the software. Please advise me.

Customer service is terrible. They don't give us the tools to help ourselves, so we are FORCED to call their service number. Then we get transferred 3 times, then disconnected - just to have to repeat the process again. Adobe recorded phone messages advises "due to high call volume, estimated wait time is 12 minutes". An HOUR AND A HALF later while still waiting on hold, I get disconnected.
I've tried the customer portal. They CLOSED my case without resloving anything or even commenting!
Where is Adobe's accountability? They don't mind charging high prices for their products, and they certainly wouldn't accept me telling them they'll have to call my 800# and wait on hold in order to get their payment. But once we purchase their products we are a prisoner of this process. There is no web interface to deactivate products. Hard drive crashes do not permit the manual deactivation on our end.
Adobe needs to either answer their phone without disconnecting me, answer their case number number without closing it for no reason, or give us - the customer - the tools to deactivate our own products. If activation can be done over the internet upon installation - then deactivation can't be much more difficult.
I honestly can't imagine how it can be legal to sell a product then cripple an owner from using it.

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.
