Adobe Acrobat Activation Issue

Scenario:
PC 1 and PC 2 have been image from PC A and PC B. A and B both contained Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro under specific license numbers. Thus, I uninstalled Adobe from 1 and 2. On 1, when uninstalling Adobe, I was prompted to deactivate the software. However, this requires internet connectivity of which I don't have due to facility constraints. Thus, I skipped this step and continued unstalling. The process completed then I reinstalled the software. I was prompted to accept the User Agreement, however, the program started directly without asking me to activate the software. On 2, I uninstalled the software, but I was never prompted for deactivation. When I reinstalled, the software installed perfectly. I started it up, accepted the User Agreement, and it prompted me for activation. Why does one not prompt me for activation and the other one doesn't. How can I fix this? Can I fully remove Adobe so that this deactivation process doesn't hinder me from activating my software under the current license?

Did you do a Custom installation of CS3 (not attempting to install Acrobat over Acrobat 3D?)? If not then it might have made a mess the Acrobat activation component. I think you're probably on the correct path in doing the uninstall. You may want to use the cleanup script. Then reinstall Acrobat 3D and do a custom installation of CS3.

  • Adobe Acrobat reinstall issue-serial number

    Hello-
    I recently had to do a full reinstall on my Windows 7 OS.  However when I did this it deleted my registered Adobe Acrobat ver. 9 program.  Unfortunetely I do not have my original disks and had to download the program from your website.  AcroPro90_efg.exe.
    I retrieved my registered account information with my original serial number.
    Upon installling the downloaded version and asked for my serial number I got an error message:  Invalid serial number.  I checked and rechecked the number and still get the error message. 
    Any help with this would be helpful.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Acrobat Toolbar issues in firefox browser

    Hi all,
    Since a recent Adobe update I have been having issues with reading pdf documents within firefox 3.6.20.
    Basically to summarize I like have the Adobe Toolbar and always had the display in read mode by default disabled.
    However if I disable this the toolbar doesn't appear fully only partially with nothing at the top only to the left toolbar which has the thumbnail icon, search command and attachments.
    To get the full top toolbar back the only way I have found is to enable read mode.
    Then when the pdf appears in brower to click the adbe icon on the reader toolbar and then the extended toolbar is fully back.
    Whats gone wrong?
    Seems to it with both adobe reader X and Adobe acrobat X pro
    Thanks,

    Sounds like a problem with the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder.
    Do you have (security) software that might protect and restore an older copy of this file?
    Note that the default position of the Home button is at the far right of the Navigation Toolbar and the combined Reload/Stop/Go button is positioned at the right end side of the location bar where you also have the star to bookmark web pages.

  • Adobe Acrobat Activation Problem

    One of our users is having a problem with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 OEM. It was working fine until a recent update. Now it opens for about ten seconds and then closes. If I open Distiller, it says that Acrobat needs to be activated which it already has been. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but the same problem remains. I've also uninstalled with Microsoft Windows Installer and then reinstalled. An Adobe tech has worked on this for about an hour to no avail. There's got to be some way to activate this copy and use. Appreciate your assistance.

    Many people sem to have this problem and for most, rebooting does not solve it.
    I have this problem, too. I'm on Acrobat 8 and Windows XP.
    Usually this works for me:
    - deleting the acrotray process (ctrl alt dl, select processes, sort alphabetically, delete acrotray)
    - deleting the Flexnet file (_00080000_tsf.data in FLEXNET folder - probably at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet).
    Sometimes it doesn't.
    When it doesn't, I go into MS-Word, open a random doc and click on the PDF icon on the toolbar (this bypasses the PDF-writing method which uses your printer setup/drivers). Somehow, this works fine and the PDF is created.
    I then go to the original doc I wanted to create, in any app, and use the printer (ie 'control p') driver to write the PDF - the method that had originally failed. The PDF then writes no problem. This always fixes it.
    If this doesn't work, there are multiple (and some very complex) fixes suggested by Adobe in the Help section online - search for 'Adobe 8 activation error'. Hopefully the above may help.
    Hope this helps - but users seem to all have different configurations and different fixes. 

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Issue

    I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 last year, used it without issue until recently. Recently i had a desktop computer hang issue which i decided to use the ACER RECOVERY to reinstall the VISTA OS. Along with that i reinstalled Microsoft Office 2007 and my Adobe CS4. But now i have a serious issue, everytime i tried to convert any of the Microsoft documents to PDF, a dialog box pops up stating "Please wait while Windows configures AdAdobe Acrobat 9", very quickly another box pops up stating "Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-1033-F400-7760-000000000004}\Data 1.cab. Verify that the file exists and that yuo can access it. Retry or Cancel". I cannot proceed further which i just have to give up converting the doc to PDF and click cancel. I need help urgently.

    My user is having the following issue when running check writer.
    I am having an issue when I try and print the Oracle checks. They run fine, but when I click on the view output which usually brings up a pdf screen of my check. Instead gives me 2 blank screens with a question mark icon.
    I noticed that Adobe Acrobat 9 was installed the same day I started having the isssue.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know if Oracle HRMS R12 is not compatible with Adobe Acrobat 9?Please see (Unable to Load PDF Templates Using XML Publisher Responsibility [ID 1316676.1]).
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Adobe Acrobat 10 Issue

    Ever since I updated to OSX 10.9, Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 and later is behaving very strange. If I click on a pdf file, Acrobat will launch, but will not display the pdf. The only way to make that work is to go into Acrobat and manually open the pdf. There's also issues in using Acrobat to create or manipulate a PDf, in that a lot of the functions of insert page, create PDf from multiple files, and many others don't work.
    Adobe has no information about this and I'm seeing that some othes are experiencing the same problem.
    Has anyone figured this out yet?

  • Help, Adobe Acrobat printing issue

    My adobe acrobat printing mess up after I update OSX Mavericks.
    All the setup is right for regular print, but multiple image comes out.

    The printer is brother hl2270dw. It works fine with acrobat, except the acrobat plug-in under safari. Which means I can not printing file directly from safari, that I have to download then print.

  • Windows 7/Acrobat Activation Issue

    Markgerlac- I had the same issue you did, and, unfortunately, your thread is locked. I do not believe this is a Windows 7 issue, but sloppy Adobe coding.
    Apparently, if you install Creative Suite on a new box (I just build one over the weekend), and reinstall Creative Suite, you need to be sure that the first program you open is NOT ACROBAT PROFESSIONAL. If it is, the solution is to uninstall the suite, reinstall, and make sure that you open Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc, first.
    I am an hour into the uninstall, after spending much time on the phone with a Mumbai tech support person who I don't think knows how to turn on a computer. FInally hung up, tried again, and got someone who seemed up on the topic.
    I had a three day experience installing CS3, and no problem with the initial install of CS4. How silly of me to think Adobe actually cleaned up their install coding.

    A few interesting twists, but this fix works.
    Also, I should say that CS4 rocks with the new Intel eight quad chip and Windows 7. Unbelievable. Even had some Apple friends thinking about switching. I just wish Adobe would clean up its install code.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat Professional  issue converting pdf to .doc

    can I not convert w/AAP?

    If you choose to have both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro installed, you can, but you need to take responsibility for running the right one for the job. It's pretty advanced to need both.
    Just start Acrobat Pro and use File > Open. Then you can use all of the features of Acrobat Pro, like Save as Word Document.

  • Adobe CS2 Activation issue

    Every time we launch CS2 it asks for Activation. I visited Adobe help center for solution and Adobe suggests downloading new installer of CS2. But adobe says you have to use the serial No (1045-1412-5685-1654-6343-1431) for successful installation as mentioned on the link
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    My worry is that when we had purchased CS2, we were given a different serial No.
    Can we uninstall the older version of CS2?
    Are we authorized to use the new serial No?

    I donwloaded this apparent 'fix'pf 3 files which are all exe files. They are completely different to the ones mentioned in the accompanying PDF of how to instal. Adobe are worng to have done this to their customers. I have already wasted nearly a day uninstalling, downloading, and then trying to instal with a set of files that the installer seems to see onlythe first one of the necessary three.
    If anyone has managed to reinstall CS2 using these 3 files then please can you leave good clear instruction - Adobe are, so far at least,  misleading those who download and make the effort to tyr and fix something purposly broken by Adobe. They seem only interested in their need to sell something else - get more money - force faithful customers into their plans. This activation discontinuation is a sly and  disrespectful action by Adobe. Thumbs down.
