Adobe Acrobat wont open

I have seen a thing saying that if installed with the Suite package I can deactivate it and reactivate it, but I am sure I had it before I bought the suite, and it was working just fine until recently. I'm not sure why it wont open up at all, and I don't think I have a serial number for it either.

Do you receive an error message when you try to open Acrobat? Which suite did you install it with? What version of Acrobat are you trying to open? Which operating system are you using? Finally what have you tried so far to resolve your current difficulties?

Adobe Speedgrade wont open!

Adobe Speedgrade wont open! All I get is to the splash screen and then nothing but a grayed out window. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no luck. Is this happening to anyone else?

Would help to have a clue about your situation ... so the basic details of OS/CPU/RAM/GPU/vRAM, and the exact version you are running of Sg would be of use. As to version, build numbers are preferable, lower left corner of the "About" screen, you might have to scroll down to get to it. Will be something like 7.2 or the current 8.2x51.
Next ... uninstalling the Adobe programs with the system OS tools isn't often useful. Adobe has their "CC Cleaner Application" ...

Which deletes also some of the preference & startup files that system uninstallers typically don't touch.
Also, holding alt/shift down while starting your program might be able to bypass a file that could be causing the problem, forcing Sg to create a new one.

Hello, how can i modifie in the options, aplications, Adobe acrobat document, open with Adobe acrobat (in Firefox) instead of open with portable document format (default). Thanks

I can'T open pdf links in another page, because in options, aplications i have in Adobe acrobat documents open with portable document format (default) and i must put open with Adobe Acrobat (in firefox) default.
Where can i change the default?

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

Adobe Acrobat wont capture Monotype Sorts fonts from PPT

I created a file in PPT using the "Monotype Sorts" font for a bullet list.
When I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a pdf of this powerpoint, the bullet list comes across incorrect.
After discovering this, I went into Acrobat Preferences/Advanced/Fonts and selected to always embed Monotype Sorts, with no difference in the outcome.
Please let me know how do capture this font type in a pdf!!!

Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).

Upon closing Firefox 4, Adobe Acrobat Professional opens

Sometimes closing Firefox 4 causes Adobe Acrobat Professional to open (in its own program) and display an error message of "Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again." Is there a way to prevent this?

I am tired of this happening and no one can give a fix, so after using firefox for years, my only suggestion is go back to ie.

Delete all the files from following folders:

[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

Had FBI virus and removed. Now Adobe products wont open. How to fix

Open task manager in XP when booting any Adobe software product. CPU usage skyrockets and Acro32 just keeps increasing and increasing until I run out of memory. I have tried all sorts of antivirus, malware, rootkits ... to no avail. Foxit works to open PDF's but I can't run acrobat. Any help would be fantastic.@

Ok. You'll probably want to download the Acrobat cleaner tool to remove everything then reinstall.

Does Adobe Acrobat support opening files in tabs ?

Hi,
I am wondering if we can open multiples PDF files in multiple tabs rather in separated windows (like webpages opened in tabs in Firefox or chrome..)?
I didn't find such a feature in Adobe ! I found it in the free PDF viewer (X-change)! It is a great feature in my view !
Will acrobat include it in the next versions, or it is already available but I can't find it?
Thanks

I agree with the initial post but not with the posts asking for the multiple windows! I am surprised how can people still ask for multiple windows!
I agree with the initial post; that is making multiple or single windows as a customizable option. Who prefer separated windowS will enjoy it, and who prefer one window for multiple files can enjoy it too.
Personally, I prefer one window for multiple files rather than dozen individual windows.
I abandoned the payed acrobat for the free X-Change PDF viewer ONLY for this great feature of multiple documents in a single window.
Note: In X-change viewer (and Foxit) we can chose between single or multiple documents!
Why acrobat does not do it customizable too to be able to chose between one or the other option?

Adobe Reader wont open in Remote Desktop virtual pool machine

I find it very odd that I'm not the only one who's tried to do this and got this error since its EXTREMELY easy to replicate... I'm trying to setup a remote desktop pool of 4 machines so my remote users can access them. I'm doing a pool because there is never more than 4 users on at once and I'm setting them up to have personal Hard disk file so their settings are saved and they can still connect to any one of the machines since they are all indentical, Similar to roaming profiles. Now the huge problem is I setup these machines with Adobe Reader 11 and when you log on as one of the users through the remote desktop program the adobe program will crash every time you open it. After opening and crashing multiple times it will finally open but it will always have a window saying Adobe has experienced an internal error. The program will also run extremely slow. If I connect to the virtual box through Hyper-V as an admin or even local user the application will run perfectly normal.. Why wont it run when logging in through RDP and using the profile disks?

Your log file shows you to be running v10.1.0.534. Could you please update to the latest version which is v10.1.1 and then try again. You can get it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
Also, has a rule been created in the BeyondTrust Software application you appear to be using to allow Reader X to open in Protected Mode? That application might be interfering with the way Reader X operates. There's a demo on their site which might help: http://www.beyondtrust.com/Products/PowerBroker-Desktops-Windows-Edition/Product-Demo/

Acrobat wont Open after Installation, amtlib.dll error

Fixed the problem on my end!
Browse to c:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
Set your settings to view hidden files and folders. If you see any .LIC files in there, rename them (prior to deleting them).
Then relaunch Adobe and see if it works!
If it works, then go back to that folder and you should see a newly generated .LIC file. Delete the older files and you should be good!
So glad I had to figure this out on my own, wasted 2 days of work on Adobe. This issue is definitely due to the problem with their Acrobat Standard Licensing Server issue yesterday, I'm positive of it.

What version of Adobe Reader do you use? In 7.0 I had to change the print command to /usr/bin/lpr to get it to work.
