Adobe acrobat X pro installation takes up over 6gb of space

Hi!
I'm not really an acrobat expert. I mainly use premiere, after effects and photoshop.
I mostly use acrobat to read academic articles in pdf format and I make notes to those articles with underlining etc.
I have used acrobat to open hundreds of pdf files in the last 6 months.
My disk space is always running out so I thought I would delete some unused applications.
I noticed that my Adobe Acrobat installation takes up a HUGE amount of space on my hard drive.
Why is this?
Is there some sort of cache that I'm unaware of?
Thank you for the answers in advance

The main cache people don't know about is the Windows Installer cache, which often has copies of the installed software, and is needed to uninstall or update. You have an old release with many, many updates, each of which will be using space in the cache. I also rather doubt the real accuracy of these figures. In any case he Windows Installer cache cannot be moved, which means that offering a choice of install location is increasingly pointless.

ADOBE ACROBAT 9 PRO INSTALLS BUT DOES NOT COMPLETE

Hi:
I'm a new user of Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. I had a trial version but uninstalled it with the superb help of Michael Kazlow and bought a full version.
It installed OK (after asking my serial number) but when I started to use it, I was asked for my serial number again on the back of the DVD box which I had inserted before the installation began.
Problem: When I type in my correct serial number and click Next, the screen shows a DIFFERENT serial number which it says is invalid and won't let me complete the installation. The error msg is "Invalid serial number- go back and enter the correct number" . I went back 5 times and entered the correct number and clicked Next and a different serial number from the one I typed appears on the screen and the same invalid serial number msg is repeated.
I'm stuck. Please help.

Thanks for replying. 1)I 'm embarrassed to say I don't know what a CS suite is.
2) You helped me uninstall a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 pro.
3) The one I'm having trouble with is one I bought. It installed itself but then asked me before I could use it wha y serial number was.
4) I type in the one that's on the back of the box but the screen then shows a different number and says it's invalid.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Installation help?

I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for Mac. I installed InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver with no problems about a year ago. I realized that I never installed Acrobat...
On the front cover it says "Install software from these discs first. Then install Acrobat 9 Pro from the Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Upgrade Installer disc provided separately."
I put in the "Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" CD and downloaded Acrobat. When I got to the serial # part, I used the same serial number as I did for the rest of the Creative Suite, but it says the # is not valid?!?!
I haven't tried calling Adobe yet...my friend tried calling the other day and he was put on hold for 2 hours >.< Any help would be appreciated!

Had you installed another version of Acrobat 9 previously? If so try using the serial # from it.
If not some one else has asked a similar question I have answered today. Try the answer I gave for that question.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Installation Problem

Hi, I just bought Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Cannot install it as I get a message that my serial # is for an upgrade version only of Adobe Acrobat Pro. I also have Adobe Reader 9 in my computer. What is the most economical way to install it without paying for further upgrades and/or versions? Many thanks, Oscar.

The most economical way is to return your purchase, get a refund, and then purchase the full version (somewhere?).

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Installation and Registration Online

Hi Everyone,
I bought three (3) Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for windows. I installed it into my three (3) computers I choose to input my serial number (because I have one), after I completed installing it I was prompted to register it online. But there was a error saying that I don't have a Internet Connection (please see the image below) it's a weird thing because I do have one.
Now, my questions are :
1. How can I solve the problem regarding the Internet Connection thing? My clock and and time zone are correct.
2. Is there an alternate way to register my software online?
3. I want to un-install my Adobe Acrobat to my previous computer and install it to my new computer, will the Serial Number be counted? Being said that I installed and input the serial number into my three computers.
I'm afraid that if I install and input serial number to my new computer, the serial number will not work because I used it three times.
Please help me with this matter. Thank you in Advance!

Adobe acrobat XI Pro Installation

I purchased adobe acrobat DI Pro this year and for some reason, the device has been deleted off my computer. Now I have put the CD in to re-install it but asking me of a serial number, please how will I get the serial number?

If you have the CD, the SN is on the jewel case. If it was an upgrade, you still need the SN from your older version also. As long as you registered, you can contact Adobe and they should be able to help you if you lost it, but be sure to check your CD jewel case first.

File Extraction Error during Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installation

I continually no matter how many times I re-download Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition, I receive the same error "Error in extracting files. Re-download Adobe Acrobat XI Pro." (Paraphrased). Suggestions?

This was my goofup... please be sure to type subst and not substr Z: "C:\Windows" in the command prompt for Admin.
The source I copied and pasted from added the "r"
With the proper command adjusting the "invalid" drive, the install of acrobat succeeded.

Adobe acrobat 9 pro installation/licensing issues

I installed my licensed copy of Acrobat 9 on a new Windows 7 system. Acrobat launched but would not open files and shuts down on attempt. Message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working" with subtext "You cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
I doubt any of you have a solution, so I simply remark on what transpired as a warning and complaint:
1. I went to Adobe databse and found that a patch was provided to correct installations/licensing problems on windows 7. I downloaded it and installed per instructions. It did not resolve the problem.
2. I uninstalled/reinstalled several times. no resolution.
3. I called customer support and was outsourced to someone who knew little and first sent me to a kb article having to do with 'expired licensing' even though I clearly informed them that the message and the fact had nothing to do with expired licenses. They finally referred me to kb405970 on "Licensing has stopped working". I tried all of the applicable solutions (methods 1-6) and none of them worked. Now I will have to wait until tomorrow (though I had pressing work to do today) to contact support again. I fear I will get another outsourced tech who knows little and wastes more of my time. Such is Adobe's way of supporting paid and licensed product users.
I understand and sympathize with Adobe's wishes to protect its products from piracy. However, I expect and paid for a product which works on major and supported operating systems like windows 7. I also understand that if MS or Mac put out a new OS or version, it may require certain adjustments or updates on Adobe's part. What I do not understand (or have patience with) is that 1) Adobe failed to provide a patch that works; 2) that it then sends me to an outsourced customer service tech who didn't have the knowledge to correct the problem and gave me the wrong information to begin with*. What I finally got was the kb article with a series of multi-step instructions for several methods, none of which worked. This is an unprofessional and unethical response to those of us who have paid for our product and expect it to work under reasonable conditions in a supported environment. This is not an acceptable good-faith effort to resolve issues for which Adobe should take full responsibility.
If any of you do happen to have a real solution (or had a similar problem) do let me know....
*The first thing the outsourced tech wished to do was get onto my machine via a remote connection, before anything was tried other than giving them the error message and have them provide me with the wrong information. It became clear that this person had less knowledge than I do (which isn't saying much) and there was no way I was going to permit a clueless techie to crawl around in my machine and fiddle with settings. That is simply asking for trouble. I'm perfectly capable of opening panels and following instructions myself. DC should be the last thing tried; not the first.

Bill, I tried as you suggested - installed every update from 9.1 through 9.3.4. The 'license not working message persists'. The only change was that now Acrobat will not close and must be forced to shut down from the taskbar menu. I appreciate the suggestion though.
Called Adobe (Manila) again, within the hours given on their contact page for installation and licensing issues, and was told "It's Sunday, nobody here can help you". Finally, after an hour of hammering got them to get me a supervisor (their script says to tell the customer there "Is no supervisor available on Sunday" - Finally the "supervisor", Alvin, suggested I need a new serial number and left me on the line while he called someone else to get on. Cameback and informed me that he couldn't get one, I'd have to call Monday (how's that for having solutions?) Result: wasted more time and had more delay on my project.
Conclusion: Adobe has become obsessed and 'piranoic' about piracy and licensing to the extent that they put that first and client/customer needs second (if that). After reading a lot of online 'Adobe Sucks' forums, I'm inclined to believe Adobe is shooting itself in its own foot and is not going to be a reliable method of presentation/document transmission in the future - service and support is an integral part of software and other concerns such as piracy or licensing need to be transparent to legitimate users. Sad that they spend so much time on this, when they need to be fixing real problems. As well, these outsourcing Philipines companies are poor substitutes for good support - they are so scripted and obsessed with regulations over solutions that it is clear that only the most persistent users will get anywhere with them. As a frontline of contact with after-sale clients, they are going to cost Adobe a lot of potential business in the future, whatever their short-term savings. Too bad. Adobe used to be a leader in the market.
Next round: Calling Manila again this am. to be continued...

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (Tools Bug)

The program will not allow me to apply the "arrow" design to any document. - Once drawn and released, it disappears. I have to draw one with the "contineous" line tool in order to make use of an arrow feature on every document.
Is there a fix for this Bug?

Thanks for the advice.
The problem is not solved. This is what i have tried.
Attempt 1.
Log-in as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
"Repair" Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installation.
Same failure as described earlier.
Attempt 2.
Log-in as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
Uninstall Acro XI Pro.
Run : acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_040612.zip
Log of "cleaner" shows deletion of very many, but ot all, Registry Acro-associated keys.
At end of uninstall and cleaner processes, re-start machine.
Log-in again as Administrator via "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
Disable Norton 360 and Webroot Secure Anywhere prior to Acro XI Pro installation.
Re-install Acro XI Pro (this time, for "Default" choice, as opposed to "Complete" in previous installs.)
Outcome: NO Adobe PDF printer. HOWEVER, both during the "Repair" and re-install processes, a message did flash: "Creating the Adobe PDF Printer".
Both Repair and re-install: The Adobe PDF printer is not listed under "Manufacturer" when "Add Printer" is executed (see image below).
Proceeding via "Have Disk", C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf, yields the failure to install the driver previously described, for all ten (10) instance of the Adobe PDF Converter options.
Thanks for any insights.

While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
How do I modify the system.

Hi Rgardezi,
The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.

Adobe Acrobat 9 pro's windows installer appearing after right click on any file or application

I accidentally deleted the acrobat 9.0 manually from the program files. The acrobat doesn't work... There is also a nuisance. The windows installer for the Adobe acrobat keep on appearing when i right click a file or application. I have to cancel it. If i wait for it to load, it will say that the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click Ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installer package "AcroPro.msi" in the box below. if i click ok, it will show an error- the path"..." cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installer package "AcroPro.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product Adobe Acrobat 9 pro ... It will also cause the computer to be very lag. I am seeking assistance. Please help.

This happens when I right click on ANYTHING at all, I can even just right-click on the desktop and that install window comes on!
The program itself opens fine separately. I 'll be honest, I haven't used it much as I am just learning all the programs, so if it is actually working correctly I don't know. I do know that I tried to used the "covert to pdf" button while on Internet Explorer and it would not work. Don't know if the problem is related or not...
I have that idiotic UAC off - it drove me crazy...

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - Silent installer

Hello,
I am trying to create an installer for Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro. I have used the customization wizard to create a transform file for the install and specified it to be silent. However, it appears that windows are still opening in the background when the installer runs, which causes my department's automated installer service to close out of the install thinking the installer is "broken."
The windows appear to be "Moving ____ to recycle bin" messages, meaning the Acrobat MSI is moving the setup files rather than deleting them completely.
Is there a way to change this behavior in order to make the installer delete the files instead of moving them?
The command is currently:
if exist [file generated to determine if a prior uninstall was sucessful] (msiexec /i "[PATH]Adobe Acrobat Pro\Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro\AcroPro.msi" /qn CLIENTUILEVEL=0 TRANSFORMS=[PATH]\Adobe Acrobat Pro\Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro\AcroPro.mst" /l*v "[PATH]\adobe.log")
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew

Hi Drew,
Please navigate to the location in Command prompt where you have Acropro.msi. Then run this command.
msiexec /i "AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst" /qn
Please ensure to launch Command prompt as an Admin.
Please let us know if it helps.
Regards,
Abhijit
