Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro?

I am updating a project, that I did not original work on, that was developed using Acrobat 7.0 and Distiller 7.0. It added the ability to save report files in PDF format and to digitally sign them. Besides the files generated by the SDK there are other files that were generated and edited by Acrobat 7.0 and Distiller 7.0. Files ending in .js looks like I just need a text editor and .api is generated by the SDK. Then I have files templates BlankPageDoc.pdf, BlankPageDoc.ps, TempDoc.pdf that were generate by Distiller. Then I have another file with the extension .joboptions that I don't know how it was generated.
So do I need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro to update this project for 8.0 and 9.0? I know I need Adobe Acrobat Standard to run it but will I need something in Pro for development?

Pro certainly includes various tools not found in Standard that you may find useful.

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?

Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

Good morning.
I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

Exchange Adobe Acrobat Standard for Pro?

I have a Mac and it does not support the Standard version, how do I make the upgrade if I already purchased the standard for Windows?

Just go to the product page for Acrobat Pro and choose the Buy -> Upgrade options. There is the option to select Standard XI as the version from which you are upgrading.

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!

Adobe Acrobat Standard -vs- Adobe Acrobat Pro (for large PDF files)

I need to make a PDF from approximately 600 photos. Is the application Adobe Acrobat Standard competent to achieve this task? Or is it preferable to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro and why?

Neither has particular limits relevant to this.
If you are making for professional publishing, Acrobat Pro contains print production tools.
However, be aware that YOU DO NOT LAY OUT DOCUMENTS OR MAKE BOOKS IN ACROBAT. Sorry to be emphatic, but some people have received the view that it replaces Word, InDesign, Publisher or whatever. It doesn't.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Pro

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

I can not find the Adobe Acrobat Standard 11 download, it keeps jumping to the Acrobat Pro 11 download.

Does anyone have a link to download Adobe Acrobat Standard? I click on the Acrobat Standard download trial and takes me to the download for Acrobat Pro and my upgrade does not work with it.

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Manual

Does anyone know how I can can the manual for Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro?

There is no single "manual" explaining Acrobat (any release).
The reality is that a comprehensive "manual" would, in print, be more like volumes comprising an Encyclopedia set.
(...anyone remember those? )
What follows provides a bit of an overview of what Adobe provides as information resources to facilitate understanding through study, Q&A, and 'show and tell'.
Note that there are many non-Adobe sources of information and training that are most excellent as well.
There is the Acrobat Help documentation. This is installed when Acrobat is installed.
Adobe LiveDocs also provides Acrobat Help. There is a Help version for Standard, Pro, and Pro Extended.
This documentation is maintain as a living document set by Adobe.
There is the collected documentation available at Acrobat DevNet.
See: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html
Even if you do not "develop" stuff, all of what is here belongs on the shelves of your 'eLibrary'.
It'll come into play as you continue to study for better understanding of Acrobat / PDF.
There is the Acrobat 'Help and Support' page.
See: http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/
This page has links to Acrobat LiveDoc Help.
There are the knowledgebase articles.

As to the core "what PDF is" documentation; I guess that'd be ISO 32000-1:2008.
Prior to mid-2008, Adobe maintained the PDF References.
In mid-2008, PDF became an ISO Standard (32000-1).
This may be purchased from ISO; or, currently, Adobe has a free copy available.

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.

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.

Distiller in Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0?

We are currently using Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 to convert PostScript files to PDF.
Is this functionality still included in the Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 package, or has the Distiller component been removed/upgraded to the Distiller Server component piece only?
Also, we sometimes have a need to insert a blank page into a PDF. I've been told that this functionality is only available in the Acrobat Pro version, not the Standard. Can someone confirm this for me?
THANKS!

Distiller remains in Acrobat Standard; it is the engine behind the
Adobe PDF printer, and you can run it separately. It differs from the
Pro version in not having watched folders and some pre-press features.

How do I reinstall an OEM version of Adobe Acrobat Standard X

I have an OEM card for Adobe Acrobat Standard X. I cannot download the trial of this and then activate it becasue the download automatically goes to Acrobat Pro and then says the serial number I have is invalid. I cannot go to the store because I do not have an order ... it came as an OEM software with the computer I purchased. I cannot call anyone as there is no number listed. The website listed on the card takes me through the deadend circle expalined above of the Acrobat Pro Trial with an invalid serial number. So does anyone have any ideas?

Yes ... Jeff's forum link supplied the link to Dell of https://smartsource.dell.com. I did purchase the Standard version with a Dell, so I will go try to download it from the link to Dell. Thank you both. It is too bad that Dell does supply that link by putting a sticker on the card ... I think that would save a lot of people time and avoid frustration. I have had simular difficulties with OEM software cards in the past, but usually can get around it by downloading a trial version first. Again, thanks.

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,
Sara
