"Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly"

Has a fix been found yet for this damn annoying problem.
I get this message regularly on my Mac G5, Leopard 10.5.2. I must have reinstalled the program about 5 times by now. It works properly for a few days, then this-
"Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly"
"A required component was not found, please restore the Adobe Acrobat folder from your original CD".
Doing a forum search, I noticed people were having this same problem as far back as October 2007. Has it been resolved yet, and if so how?

I discovered that when I initially install Acrobat it works fine. However, after I run the program Monolingual, which removes languages and architectures that my Intel Mac does not require, Acrobat has this exact failure.
I went to Monoligual's website and in their FAQ's they address this issue. (http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/faq.php) You simply need to add the Acrobat folder (/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional) to the Monolingual preferences list and then uncheck both boxes. Also, with Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 you need to add the folder /Library/Printers/PPDs to the list and uncheck both boxes, because Monoligual will delete four Asian Language folders from this folder and Acrobat will give you an error if they are not there.
So, if you use Monolingual, or some other program that removes languages and architectures, this might be your solution.

  • Acrobat 9 could not install correctly

    I just bought CS5 and I had no problems installing the CS programs, but I can't install Acrobat 9 Pro.  I can copy the files to my applications folder, but whenever I click on Acrobat Pro it prompts me to enter my password to make changes.  After I do this it automatically gives me the error message, "Acrobat could not install correctly.  Acrobat was unable to install and must quit."  I don't know what the problem is and I've been unable to find the answer online.  I would appreciate any help on this.

    Hi aspurple,
    Please see Error "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset..." | Acrobat 9
    If that doesn't do the trick, please let us know.

  • Adobe Acrobat Has Not Deinstalled Correctly

    Hi,
    I deinstalled Technical Communication Suite 2, and then installed TCS5, but Adobe Acrobat has not deinstalled correctly.
    Now, it is labeled with a strange icon (gear-wheel).
    How can I repair the installation?
    Best regards,
    Pavel

    What is your operating system?  On Windows you could use the Acrobat Cleaner Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html then reinstall Acrobat.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader Not Installed.

    Trying to open link to pdf file from IE8 using Windows 7 64bit and pdf file will not open "adobe acrobat reader not installed".  Yet I can open PDF files outside of IE8.  Adobe Reader X is installed.  Have tried remvoving, reinstalling, running app as admin.  Have tried different version of Adobe Reader and same error.  This same link works fine when opened with Google Chrome.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for posting the image.

  • 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,

  • Adobe Acrobat printer not installed in Vista

    I installed Adobe Acrobat 9 in windows XP and Vista. In XP installed properly and can covert to PDF. In Vista installed properly but can't find the Adobe printer in printers, when I open File ---> Print from any application can't found Adobe PDF. But when right click a file "Convert to Adobe PDF" appears and can convert. Please help me to solve this. Also I have Adobe reader 8 in vista.

    Convert to Adobe PDF is a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. Thus, for any conversion with Acrobat you have to have the printer installed. As a work around, you can install another PS printer and then open the PS file in Distiller, but that is not a great workaround. Sorry that I do not have an answer in terms of the Adobe PDF printer. Good luck.

  • Adobe Acrobat will not install

    When I try to install a Trial Version of Adobe Acrobat XI my Creative Cloud Account goes into a "Waiting" mode.

    Sounds like a CC question to me. I am an Acrobat user and have no clue, but you might get a useful answer in the CC forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud.

  • Using Maverick, error message: Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).".  Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're having problems installing/uninstalling air.  Have you tried rebooting to see if that resolves the issue? 
    If it still fails, can you enable MSI logging using the instructions found on the following page and then post the msi log contents for review?

    Adobe Reader could not open 'images rest 12-4.jpg' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    that is the message how do i correct this problem

    It sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
    If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X

  • Updating my Win7 to 12.1, I get 'iTunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 127). If I try to launch, I get 'The procedure entry point "CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes" could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll'. Help!

    Windows version 7. Auto update of iTunes to version 12.1 from 12.0.1.
    At end of install process, message 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 127).
    Tried to launch iTunes, anyway, but immediately got message 'The procedure entry point "CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes" could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll'.
    Tried downloading iTunes and updating manually - get exactly the same result.
    No problem using iTunes before this.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
         C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.
