Adobe Acrobat X and Reader XI

Hello,
Can Adobe Acrobat X (pro) and Reader XI installed at the same time?
I'm asking this because I need Acrobat to create PDF files, but I want to read PDF files in the latest version of Reader.
Won't it damage the installation of Acrobat or Reader?
Thanks.

It's pretty easy to assign the default program used to open a file type:
Acrobat X Pro vs. Reader XI.  Getting Pro to open as default?

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader Freeze

    Everytime I open Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader I am unabe to open the preferences menu.  Program freezes up.  Also when I hit print the program also freezes.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no success.

    Which version (and sub-version)? Why do you have both Reader and Acrobat installed? Before AAX this was not a recommended combination at all.
    You should be able to delete the Reader and repair Acrobat. If you do not have the most current version of Acrobat, you should do an update(s). If you uninstall and reinstall again, before the reinstall, deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and run a registry cleanup utility (the MS one if you can get it -- MS quit distributing it -- or CCleaner). Then reinstall. Typically the repair and the updates should take care of things unless you have gotten a corrupt plug-in included somehow.

  • Printing problem from Adobe Acrobat 8 and Reader 9

    Hello together,
    i've got a problem while printing from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and Acrobat Reader 9.
    I've got the Error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
    It happens with my new Canon ip4700 and my brother laser printer.
    I got the newest available Version of OSX and the Adobe Updates.
    The PDF files are printed in the "OSX Preview", but not in the Adobe Software
    Happy for any help or advice.
    Best,
    Lukasz

    Acrobat 8 and Reader 9 are not compatible. The only versions of Reader and Acrobat designed to be compatible with each other in Windows is Reader and Acrobat X.

  • Adobe Acrobat 6 and Adobe Reader 9 Web browser problem

    Good Day,
    I have a user that has Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 installed on the same computer. Acrobat 6 is used to edit (via open with -> Adobe Acrobat) while for normal reading, they use Adobe Reader 9 (since some files that were created in Acrobat 9 cannot be opened with Acrobat 6).
    From the desktop, everything works as it should. However, the problem is that when the user is trying to open a document on the web (from Internet Explorer 7) then instead of using Reader 9, it uses Acrobat 6 (and because is unable to open Acrobat 9 files) it gives an error saying that you need to have Adobe Reader 8 or 9 installed.
    So far I have tried the following:
    1) Reparing Reader 9
    2) Uninstalling Acrobat 6 running a repair on Reader 9 (which fixes the problem, until I reinstall Acrobat 6 again. I make sure I do not put a check mark on Read files on Internet Explorer)
    3) Went to Preferences on Acrobat 6 and unchecked Display PDF in browser.
    4) Checked on Manage Add-ins and tried disable any combination of Adobe PDF addin to make it work only with 9.
    Note: Reader version is the latest 9.4.1
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Ok, so after I wrote the last post, I read through the related posts, and found the answer to
    what i was looking for.
    I guess it is unofficial, but I tested it today and works great:
    Registry that needs to be changed is:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    Change the path (Acrobat 6) from "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat6\Acrobat.exe"
    to the path of Reader 9 which would be something like "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    That fixed the problem.
    Thanks

  • I have Adobe Reader X, Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Distiller 9 all installed, remove older versions?

    I have Adobe Reader X, Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Distiller 9 all installed on my computer. Should I uninstall older versions?  I am running on Windows XP Professional. Thanks,Kim

    Hi there,
    Distiller 9 is a part of Acrobat 9.  Acrobat 9 and Reader X can co-exist on the same machine. Unless you're having a problem, there's nothing wrong with having them both installed together.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions?

    Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions? SecSigner is not responding.

    Well, I contacted SecCommerce about the issue, the response was, that I should sign the file later (afterwards). This is a solution, but not the best in my opinion.
    When I sign the document the SecSigner window/Java window appears and freezes. Adobe is not responding. I have to terminate Adobe because the program is not responding.
    I only found this support website, so I have realized that this is a User 2 User site, but it was a try to get some help.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 and I Filter Question

    Hello,
          I have Adobe Acrobat 8 and I Filter 6.0 installed on a WinXP machine. I am also using Windows Search 4.0. My question is on how to create an embedded index of PDF files so that I may search with a keyword through 100 PDF files as an example. This is actually my last resort after searching thoroughly on the web. I have read articles ranging from editing the registry to how to create a single index within Adobe Acrobat for a single PDF file. Again I am looking to create one index that consists of multiple PDF files. If any can help me I would very much appreciate it. I just say to myself that at some point in time some programmer must have said to himself, can I search for a keyword through 20 PDF files on a desktop system or server?
    Thank you,
    Peter

  • Created a Form in Adobe Acrobat XI and save that form as "Standard" PDF

    I created a Form with Adobe Acrobat XI and now I want to add a button for save that form as "Standard" PDF with Java Script or other suitable way. Please help me.
    Thank You.

    Forms are entirely standard. What do you mean by "standard" in this case. Do you mean "not a form, so that the bits filled in are just permanent parts of the PDF like the other stuff"?

  • Is there a way to flip the pages in a .pdf so that all of the text is readable (in other words all documents are right side up)?  I have Adobe Acrobat X and am using Windows 8.1.

    Is there a way to flip the pages in a .pdf so that all of the text is readable (in other words all documents are right side up)?  I have Adobe Acrobat X and am using Windows 8.1.

    I have a pdf with over 2,000 pages, many of which are sideways.  I do not want to manually flip each one (few are next to each other).  Is there a way to automate the function so that all sideways or upside down text pages are righted?

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 - Can't open PDF on web

    Hi,
    On my work machine, I have Acrobat 6 installed so I can create PDFs (I hope to get authorized for Acrobat 8 soon). When trying to view/open a PDF on a website, I was getting the following message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."
    And the PDF won't open.
    I downloaded Reader 9, and updated both Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 with all updates.
    In Preferences, I have played with enabeling/disabeling the "Display PDF in browser" on both Arobat and Reader with no luck.
    Are there any other settings I need to change to be able to open PDFs?
    Many thanks!

    I'm having a similar problem and am totally frustrated.
    I have an old version of acrobat reader 5, but today I downloaded reader 9, but when I click on .pdf files online, I get the same message saying that I need reader 8 or 9 to open files on the web.... which I have!
    I went in, after reading this thread, and made sure my 5 had the "display PDF in browser" UNCHECKED, and that it WAS checked in 9... but still no dice. For a few years now I've been unable to just click on and open pdf files online, and have been going a long route around by right clicking pdf's, clicking on "save target as", saving the files to my desktop, then opening reader 5 and going to file, open, and opening the file. What a huge pain in the butt though... all I want to do is be able to click pdf files and open them in my browser!!
    Oh, and another bizarre thing that has happened is that since installing reader 9, all the icons on every pdf file on my computer has changed to the icon windows uses for files of an unknown type. Can't figure out why since when I double click any of these files, they open right up in reader 9.
    I'm beyond irritated with trying to figure this out, so I'm open to any suggestions anyone has!

  • Appending new pages to signed documents now makes Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 mark signature as invalid

    Hello!
    I have developed a service that appends additional pages to existing PDF documents. Some of the documents the service works on happen to be signed. As the service appends the pages using incremental updates, the signed contents are left untouched. This makes Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 display the signature state as "valid with subsequent changes" which is ok and no one complains about.
    Now along come Acrobat 9 and Reader 9, and all of a sudden the signature state is "invalid" which my users do complain about. Telling them that inspecting the signature state details they can see that the signed content still is untouched and the actual change is recognized to be some appended pages, doesn't help either as they in turn forward the documents to their customers who don't accept the documents if the Adobe Reader sais the signatures are invalid.
    Does anyone know a way new pages can be added to a signed document without having the new Adobe program versions choke on them?
    Even a hint that involves adding some flag to the original unsigned document or the signature itself would help as the users in question can tweak those processes. Due to the nature of the workflow, though, signing unfortunately must happen before my service can add the new pages.
    Best regards, Mikel.
    By the way, the signatures in question are regular approval signatures, nothing fancy, especially not certifying signatures (which indeed can forbid any changes or at least any changes but some form fill-ins and annotations)...

    Hi Fritz,
    In the interest of full disclosure, I got the answer to the problem from one of my distinguished colleagues, I'm just the messenger in this case.
    The problem is that the form adds some items to the Arzneispezialität / Zusatztext combobox which are there during signing but the form doesn’t remember that it did this on the next form open. 
    Since this field is included in the MDP+ signature and the field has changed in the re-opened version vs. the signed version, the MDP+ signature becomes invalid.
    XFA has a feature that remembers these kinds of things for you but it is turned it OFF. Please open the attached screen shot to see the control in question.
    So, you can either (1) turn this feature ON (Automatically), or (2) write some script to clear the combobox items prior to signing or (3) write some script to repopulate the combobox items on the subsequent open to match the items that were there during signing.

  • Acrobat X and Reader X coexistence

    Hi,
    From reading the forum posts, it appears Acrobat X and Reader X installations can co-exist in Windows. However, it has yet to appear on the matrix doc:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333223.html
    What particular reasons would one need to keep Reader X installed, when users are licensed for Acrobat X ? Thank you.

    Yes they can happily coexist. Until recently it was useful as only Reader had Protected Mode, but now Acrobat has it too, the primary reason to coinstall is to test your end user's views of forms, etc.
