Adobe Acrobat Standard Installation Manual

I am trying to do something very simple: Find an installation manual for Acobe Acrobat Standard.
When I go to the Adobe site, here is what I'm trying to do:
Go to Support & Learning -> I Need Help -> Products
Choose Acrobat
Click "Acrobat X Standard Help"
Click "Getting Started and Tutorials" (takes me to: http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/gettingstarted/)
Click "Downloading, installing, and setting up" (takes me to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html)
Click Acrobat X Pro | Help (takes me to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/index.html)
Click "Getting Started and Tutorials" (takes me to: http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/gettingstarted/)
At this point, Step 7 has taken me back to Step 4. 
WHERE IN GODS NAME IS AN INSTALLATION MANUAL???
The Adobe site literally takes me around in circles.

This is for a large IT department, and for traceability we need to show that instructions were followed, as provided by the manufacturer/publisher. While I agree that it is "self evident" for the most part, we need to have documentation attesting to decisions such as making Acrobat Standard the default application for users -- what does this mean? Is this for the local user, or is it for all users on the machine? If Acrobat Standard is the default for ".pdf" files, are there any other files (as identified by extension) that it opens by default?  What about PDFMaker/Office integration -- what options are available through the installer for controlling who has access to that? E.g. If we purchase a single license of Acrobat Standard, but it is a shared computer (with independent logins), how do we ensure we are not in violation of licensing? 
These are things that should be addressed during installation.
But the fact that this is a paid product, and it doesn't have an installation manual, is the bicker pain in my side right now.

  • Installation for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and Premiere Elements 8

    Hey guys,
    I was hoping to see if anyone could help me out with this. I recently bought a new laptop, and obviously, I was stuck a few days moving everything from my old one to my new one. So when it came to install the Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 in the new computer, I noticed that the installer here at the Adobe Web Page is not accepting my serial number for that product. And additionally, I don't see the installer for the Premiere Elements 8 and I don't know if the Photoshop Elements 8 installer in the web page is gonna do the same thing like the Acrobat Standard 9. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

    Hi DJRicky7,
    You can download Premiere Elements 8 from the direct download links available at: Direct Download Links for Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Elements 8 | ProDesignTools
    Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
    For Acrobat 9 Std. you can click on the link: https://sendnow.acrobat.com/m/g.ashx?i=rol7pInCLAR6FfBXHhVUfA&x=qPtk3SqdJjawgwvDY49b3A

  • I need to download installation files for my Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5.5.

    I need to download installation files for my Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5.5. There are no links to be found for this version on the adobe site..
    I have two licenses for adobe acrobat, but cannot find my software. Any help with a direct link to the standard version would be helpful.
    The professional version does not work with the standard licens.

    if you purchased from adobe, log in to your account and check your order history, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    if you acquired via dell, https://smartsource.dell.com/
    if you purchased elsewhere, contact the vendor.

  • How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

    About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment.  We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.
    My question is:
    How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?
    Thanks for your time.

    Go here:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobatitinfo
    The Updater guide has your needed information.
    If you get the AIM AIR app, you'll get a database of other configurable preferences.

  • 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]
    RequireOS=Windows XP
    RequireMSI=3.0
    RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
    [Product]
    msi=AcroStan.msi
    Languages=1033;1031;1036
    1033=English (United States)
    1031=German (Germany)
    1036=French (France)
    CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroStan.mst"
    [Windows XP]
    PlatformID=2
    MajorVersion=5
    MinorVersion=1
    ServicePackMajor=2
    [MSI Updater]

    Thoughts?
    Thanks again,

  • How do i download adobe acrobat standard

    I have a serial number I have obtained 12-2013. I have formatted by computer and want to reinstall the Adobe Acrobat Standard. Where can I download it from?

    It is a top-level link, but the link has been purposely hidden off the bottom of every page on their site unless you scroll down.  It was certainly a conscious choice to do that.  It would be interesting to hear the rationale.
    One way to look at it would be:  if things were easier to find on the website (weren't purposely hidden for beauty's sake) there would be less calls to support and if there were less calls to support there wouldn't need to be an embargo on Phone and Chat support for everything except basic installation and question related to Creative Cloud, and everything else directed to the forums.

  • Reinstall Adobe Acrobat Standard 9

    Hello,
    I recently had a hardware malfunction and had to replace my Surface Pro. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and want to reinstall it on the new tablet but cannot find a link to the installation files. I have the serial number in my Adobe account but can only find install files for updates.
    Can anyone direct me to the full installation link for Standard 9?
    Thanks,
    George

    During the install of an upgrade, you should be asked for the serial number of the previous version. You should always keep backups of downloaded software and the serial numbers. As long as you registered, Adobe should be able to help you with the serial number. I am not sure why the Std version is not available for download. The Pro version is with a little searching. Though not said, I wonder if the Pro version would install with the Standard SN and work as standard -- I really don't know, but some software vendors wrap all of the versions into a single distribution and the only difference comes with the serial number.

    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,

    Downloaded Adobe Acrobat Standard for English NA.  Program defaults to Plish and will not let me change language and serial number I have is for NA.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard XI

    I have purchased the Adobe Acrobat Standard XI in November as you can see below copy of the order email , but I didn’t saved the file I sued for the installation , now I need to download the file again as I changed the windows from 7 to 8 .
    Please advice how can I download it again .
    Regards.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • I am unable to download Adobe Acrobat Standard from the cloud says the "Adobe Acrobat is not currently available for your language or platform." I am running Vista and using Chrome

    I just subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Standard from the cloud. I am running microsoft Vista and Google Chrome browser. I get the error message Adobe Acrobat is not currently available for your language or platform. For a list of supported platforms and languages: and I believe I meet the Vista requirements. How do I resolve this issue?

    LorettaKallen are you trying to install Adobe Acrobat Standard 11 utilizing the Adobe Application Manager?  Do you receive the same error message if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox?

  • How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like?  Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

    Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
    For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
    I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
    I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase.  I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
    1.  After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below.  Why?
    2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
       This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
    File
    > Create
       > PDF from scanner
         > Custom scan
           > Color Mode: Black and White
           > Append to existing file
             > Browse
               > Select file
                 > Scan
    This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan.  Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
    Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option.  Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
    Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance).  Please assist.
    3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
       Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
    3a See Error.  Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
    3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White.  Why?
    3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
    4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product?  The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product.  Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online.  I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
    5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options?  Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities?  Even after clicking "Ready to contact us?  Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
    If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them.  Regardless, please advise.  Thanks!

    uninstall all acrobat/reader versions and retry installing.
