Adobe Acrobat Standard 6 & Windows 8

I own Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.
Can I use it on a Windows 8.1 computer?
If not, can I upgrade Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 at minimal cost?
I will be purchasing a new Windows 8.1 laptop and discarding my old laptop.

You may be able to get it to work with some workarounds that I have tried on various Win7 versions. The 64-bit system creates additional problems, so you may want to ask if a 32-bit system will meet your need. Even with the workarounds (if they would work for you), the extra effort to use them gets annoying quickly. You would also have problems reading a lot of newer PDFs I would guess. Now is probably the time to purchase a new version (as TSN, AA6 does not qualify for an upgrade). There was a sale before Christmas, but not sure if there will be another.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.1 loads pages very slowly with Windows XP 64 bit version

    Our company has purchased Dell Precision T3500 workstations with Intel XEON processor and 6 Gb of RAM. The operating system is Windows XP 64-bit version. The systems came with Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.1. Each one of these workstations load PDF files into Acrobat very slowly. Does anyone have a answer why?

    2.  Extract the files in the archive to somewhere like c:\win64drivers\ethernet
    3.  Once inside Win XP 64, do the following:
    a.  Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
    b.  Go down to the "Other Devices" section (they'll have yellow ?'s)
    c.  Right click on the ethernet controller and click "Update Driver"
    d.  Click "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)"
    e.  Click "Dont search.  I will choose the driver to install."
    f.  Double click the "Network Adapter" entry, and then click "Have Disk..."
    g.  Select the directory which you extracted the driver files to
    i.  You will get messages saying that Windows cannot verify that the driver matches your hardware, and that the driver is not WHQL certified.  Ignore these and click "Continue"/"Install Anyways" and your RealTek RTL8169/8110 ethernet adapter will spring to life
    after i have done this the pc just stops. and if i reboot it stops at the loading screen :/ can you tell me whats wrong i got a k8t neo serie card and windows 64 bit edition
    edit: i did it :D works now

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?
    Regards,

    I've downloaded Adobe acrobat standard Dc only to find out it's not compatible w/windows XP.  How do I get a different version?

    Hi vincelucy,
    If you've purchased a previous version, you can download older installers from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X (you'll need your serial number to complete the installation).
    Best,

  • What is the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Standard that runs on Windows XP SP3? I currently have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0. Thanks!

    What is the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Standard that runs on Windows XP SP3? I currently have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0. Thanks!

    The current updates 10.1.13 and 11.0.10 no longer support Windows XP SP3.  The last versions to test were 10.1.10 and 11.0.3 I think.   But I wouldn't recommend using those because of the Security Updates in between those versions and the current updates.  Microsoft doesn't even support Windows XP SP3 any longer. I would say to try updating both the OS and the applications.

    Hi Dcee3,
    Acrobat Standard has not been developed for Mac platform so Mac version is not available. It can only run on windows machine.

  • Purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC (Windows,English). Will not install.

    I just purchased and downloaded Adobe Reader CC and getting "Serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."

    Which did you download? Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?
    It sounds like Adobe Acrobat Standard if it's asking you for a serial number.
    Which one are you trying to download?

  • Unable to save a document after signing it in Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

    I have a user who is unable to save .PDF files that he is opening in Outlook via an embedded link in the email.
    When he clicks on the link, Acrobat opens the document without issue. However, when he applies his signature and goes to save it over the existing document on our internal network file server, he gets the following message: "The document could be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
    The network drive has a significant amount of space available, at least 500 gigs.
    This was not an issue up until Friday of last week. Prior to Friday, he had no issue signing documents emailed to him that contained a embedded link pointing back to the file on our internal network file server.  If I have him browse directly to the file in Windows Explorer however, he can open sign the document and overwrite the existing copy.  While that works, I would like him to regain the ability to save his file after opening it from his email; as unless I show him how to get to the file directly via Explorer, he is unable to do so. (And he has to sign many documents a day as well)
    Other users on my network are not encountering this issue, however some are running a different mix of Office and Acrobat. (Such as Office 2010  and Acrobat X, etc)
    I've researched this issue for prior versions of Acrobat and tried to applied the same resolutions for this issue without a positive result. So far I have been unable to find any solutions for this issue dealing with XI. 
    Has anyone else run ino this issue with Acrobat Standard XI? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you for any help that you can give me.
    Here is the basic setup that his computer is running:
    Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
    Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
    Adobe Acrobat Standard XI
    Internet Explorer 9
    Also my user is has full Admin rights to his workstation and has the appropriate security rights to the folders he is trying to save the signed document to.

    I would like to confirm the exact same message is happening with us.
    Several users have been receiving the error message shown below when trying to save PDF’s to their desktop or other server.
    We are experiencing the issue with earlier versions of Acrobat (8 & 9) as well.
    This is only started happening this week?

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5 Install Error:  "Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid".  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I had Acrobat Standard 9.5 on a laptop that broke.  Adobe Acrobat Standard is paid for and all I need. I had to get a new PC (Windows 8.1) and I did downloaded Standard 9.5 but when I went to install it the installer gave me an “Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid”.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Rahul,
    No error numbers other than the message I mentioned previously.
    I tried the transforms repair and it reported no Acrobat product (correct, none yet installed) or no administrative privileges (I am the administrator and have done previous administrative actions).
    When I unzip the Acrobat file this is what is in the setup ini file:
    [Startup]

    RequireMSI=3.0
    RequireIE=6.0.2600.0

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard I/O Reads Writes Out of Control

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 on Windows XP SP3 with the latest updates installed. In the last few months I have frequently caught acrobat.exe running even when I had no acrobat windows open. The way I know when this is occurring is because my disk read/write light goes crazy. When I open up the task manager I see that Acrobat has hundreds of thousands of disk I/O reads and writes. It is almost like it is caching itself or something. Anyway, does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to make this stop? Right now I just have to go in and force close the app via the Task Manager.
    Thanks in advance,
    CF

    Thanks but I have tried both with and without acrotray running first and it still occurrs. Additionally, when I open it in relation to reboots doesn't matter. The only thing that I think might change behavior is whether or not Acrobat has been opened inside a web browser. There may be some question as to whether or not IE or FF close it properly.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.3 - Usability Bug

    I have installed Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.3 @ Windows 7 64 Bit. On my Windows 7 32 Bit System appeared no problems.
    But now the following bugs wont leave my Acrobat:
    the file is not displayed on full screen width - only 50 %
    every time i scroll down with the mouse wheel 2 sites are skipped
    pressing str-l removes the visability of the table of contents (only blank page then)
    etc.
    Hopefully someone know this bugs and how to solve them? Thanks!

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard XI: Why prompted to save file when nothing changed?

    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard as the default PDF reader. I PDF printed a page from a website. Then I clicked to open the PDF. After I finished viewing the file, I closed the window. Adobe Acrobat prompts me to save: Yes, No, Cancel. Since I changed absolutly nothing, I am puzzled why Adobe Acrobat's save dialog thinks there are changes and askes me whether I want to save the changes.
    I have repeated opening and closing the PDFseveral times.
    Then, I tried opening and closing another PDF, and it just closes without prompting to save.
    Why do I get different behaviors on different PDFs? And can I control the behavior to get or not get the save prompt when there are no changes?

    I like that Adobe Acrobat will correct problems, then ask you whether to save.
    In the case of this file, I click Yes to save. Then the next time I open and close the file, it asks again, and I click Yes to save. Adobe Acrobat always does it with this file.
    With another file, Adobe Acrobat (AA) does not prompt, unless I change the file.
    I don't know which difference matters. AA created both PDFs. The problem file was a print from a webpage. The good file (that closes without prompting) was created from a scanner.
    I tried PDF printing this page (i.e. the page on which I am composing my response to your message). Then, I opened and closed the PDF, and was prompted to save.
    Seems like if AA corrected the problem, and I saved, AA should not have to correct the problem again (if that is what's happening). Also, if AA made the PDF in the first place, there should be no problems with the PDFto correct.
    You know what? I just tried printing another website and same prompting everytime I close.
    I've been using Chrome. I tried printing with Internet Explorer, and no problem of prompting when closing.
    Hmm. I just tried PDF printing from FireFox. No problem here either.
    Well, Now I suppose I just leave it for Google and Adobe to work out, if they care to.
    I just tried opening the problem file in AA and PDF printing from it. This seems to have cleaned the file. The second PDF file has no problem opening and closing.
    I've got an idea. I just went to the address bar in Chrome and typed "Chrome://plugins". That's the only way I know to get to the Chrome plugins. I saw that I have BOTH the Chrome built-in PDF Reader  AND the Adobe Create plugins enabled. I disabled the Chrome PDF Reader so ONLY the Adobe Create plugin is enabled.
    I printed this webpage again (the webpage you are reading). This time, there was no problem opening and closing the PDF, no prompts to save.
    However, now online PDFs will not display in Chrome. Instead, Chrome offers to download the PDF.
    I went back to the plugins and found Adobe Reader disabled. I enabled Adobe Reader so now I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Create plugins enabled.
    The problem came back.
    I don't know who would fix this, Adobe or Chrome, but would be nice to "have my cake and eat it, too" meaning, not have to muck with the plugins to AA-print clean PDFs from Chrome, and then muck again with the plugins to display PDFs in Chrome.
    I tried FireFox. Displays PDFs, and AA-prints PDFs that are clean (i.e. no prompt on closing from AA).
    Well, that is enough (maybe more than enough) from me on this. I'll monitor this discussion in case anyone comments.

  • Adobe acrobat standard save pdf to jpeg is it possibel?

    I have a question about adobe acrobat standard.
    can you save pdf to jpeg? or is it just the Pro version that it works on?

    Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
    1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
    2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
    If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.
