Adobe CS3 - Acrobot Pro 8 Activation Issue

I reinstall CS3 design premium. Everything seems to be working fine except for Acrobat Pro 8, which won't activate. When you go to Help ---> Activate from the DVD, but it made no difference. When i run acrobot, "Continue Trial or Buy" menu shown, then i enter Adobe CS3 DVD serial number "Invalid Serial Number" shown.  now i run trial version, only 19 days remaining, Pls help.... How can I fix this?

Hi,
Before you do that ... try first to trash the Acrobat Prof Preferences file.
You will find this in the Preferences folder ... just drag it to the desktop and try to launch Acrobat Prof 8 again.
IF, this is working than GO in the MENU bar of the Acrobat Prof 8 and select REPAIR CONFLICTS.

    I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues over the phone. Adobe doesn't care about their older products - they don't care that I spent hundreds of dollars for CS3. This is truly disgusting corporate behavior. Is there anything I can do? We aren't all rich photographers. I paid a great deal of money for this product. Is it now useless?Thank you,

  • Adobe acrobat X pro printing issues

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat X pro and it was installed on Windows 7/64 bits PC.
    I have issues with printing into PDF file for web page. It seems that if I click "convert to PDF" icon on Explorer, it does not have problem converting a web page into PDF. However, if I right mouse click on "print" on a web site, I get a "postscript error" message on Notepad" instead of generating PDF file. With a different web site, it did create a PDF file, but some characters were totally garbage, totally illegible. But it did create a PDF with no problem at all for a certain web page. I had a similar problem with a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but this time it is more extreme.
    Am I not supposed to use right mouse click on "print" in order to generate PDF files at all? Do I have to use "Create PDF-from a web page" menu to successfully generate PDF files, but not on "print" using right mouse? Or is this problem occuring specific to Windows 7/64 bits PC? But Acrobat X pro is supposed to work with 64 bits.
    I do not seem to have any problems converting files, such as Word, Excel, or JPEG into PDF files so far....
    Any suggestion is grealy appreciated.
    Henry

    We are unable to reproduce the issue at my end. We are able to print fine using both PS and PCL printers. Could you please let me know the exact make of the printer at your end? Also, let me know whether you are using a  PS driver or a PCL driver.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro Extracting Issue

    When the download manager was trying to extract the Adobe Acrobat X Pro files to my computer folder, the following message suddenly popped out:
    A problem occured while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write priveleges on the destination folder.
    I restarted my computer just in case and tried to download the software again yet when it reached on the extracting part, the message again popped out. I have also checked my available space from my C drive and I still have enough, 1.27 TB to be exact.
    I am the only user and the admin of this computer where I'm trying to download the software so it would be unlikely that I am restricted to the destination folder. Also, I have downloaded other softwares to the same destination folder and it went successful. It is just with the Adobe Acrobat X Pro dowload where I'm having this issue.
    I would greatly appreciate for your prompt response with this matter. Thank you.

    is your harddrive 1tb or larger?  if so, you'll need to partition that drive to use acrobat x on it.
    otherwise:
    uninstall acrobat X
    run the cleaner, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    restart your computer
    if you're using windows, right click the installation file and click "run as administrator"

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro memory issues

    I work for a company that scans micro film cards into the computer. Each micro film card usually has about 4 to 5 pages on each card. The scanner we use scans those 5 pages into one pdf page. We just bought adobe acrobat x pro to help us split these images into separate pages. First we highlight the first part of the image, copy to clipboard, then under more insert options we insert from clipboard. This works as intended, but we run into a snag, 1st adobe starts eating up a lot of memory, and it gets slower and slower when you cut and insert pages. Usually after you have closed about 6 separate documents adobe bogs down to the point where it stops responding and has to shut down. I have searched on the web for the past 3 days trying to find out how to resolve this. I have done everything from removing add-ons, setting adobe as admin, running it in xp mode, setting affinity, setting priority, downgrading to a fresh install with no patch. I am at my wits end, any help would be appreciative.

    Great... so there is no update to get over this pixelated text/art issue for Acrobat Pro X (10.1.13) due to the retina display???
    I am a graphic designer so I know what I am viewing is hires. All my art & copy is pixelated and when I open in the newest reader the art is fine. Is there a more efficient workaround besides open in reader but use pro for any edits?

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro activation

    I downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro today, but when I try to activate, this product is not listed in the drop down menu.  this is what I get "serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer".  I tried several times.

    Yes, I purchased upgrade. While downloading XI, the program told me to uninstall my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro so I did.  Do you think I need to reinstall 9 then try to download again?

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".
    Question: Since I only actually have two copies activated how do I get the program activated for the Windows 7 boot operating mode?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe CS3 Master Collection Install Issues

    Im at my whits end with this, I have got the master Collection on a disk, but when i try to install it opens the installer and the bar opens but then it just silent closes (no error messages) after a second or 2... without any progress...
    The details;
    System Specs:
    Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop, Intel Core2 Duo Processor 2GHz, 3GB RAM and 320GB HDD
    Running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 32bit Edition
    I have previously had Photoshop CS3 and Premier 6 installed, but i got rid of those prior to install attempt number one!
    What I have tried so far;
    - I have deleted all Adobe software off my computer, therefore it isnt a software clash.
    - I have tried turning my anti-virus off and on, so it isn't an anti-virus or firewall clash
    - I have tried all the recommended tips on the Adobe website
    - I have all the correct files for running the software, I have also tried running it on a different laptop, and it worked.
    - I ran CCleaner, and a registry cleaner, still nothing
    - I realised I forgot to get rid of Macromedia Flash... Promptly removed it; still nothing.
    I am really getting upset by this now (upset and angry)
    All tips would be much appreciated and I will be forever in debt to whoever solves this issue!
    Thanks
    Josh

    I have also had trouble uninstalling Adobe Photoshop CS3, as i said above i tried to get rid of it, however i couldnt remove it via the uninstall menu, so i deleted it from program files (and all other traces of photoshop i could find) however the option to unistall is still their, but when i try to uninstall it comes up with the error message that is attached...
    im assuming these 2 problems are linked... so help with this would be useful..
    thanks!

  • Adobe Creative Suite 6: Activation Issue on a new SSD

    I own a licensed copy of Creative Suite 6 for Macintosh. I've installed it on my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. I am planning on replacing the optical drive, which I never use, with a solid state drive. I intend to clone the operative system and applications like CS6 onto the new solid state drive. My hope is that I will make my aging MacBook Pro significantly faster.
    Question: Will I have to deactivate CS 6 before I do this and then reactivate it after the cloning is complete? Will I have to reinstall CS 6 from my original DVDs? What other issues will I face?
    Thanks,
    EV

    Forget the cloning, reinstall the programs properly. Otherwise the activation will not work because quite simply the activation key is not there. of course you should always deactivate existing installs before meddling with any of this...

  • Adobe Acrobat 3d toolkit activation issue

    I recently updated a user to CS3 Premium and the 3D toolkit was working fine until the install. The user opened up the 3D toolkit and the following error message was shown " Acrobat 3D must be activated to use #D toolkit". I checked 3D acrobat and the activation was grayed out. I contacted tech support and they directed me to Activation and then activation sent me back to Tech support. Tech support decided it was a activation patch issue so I went back to activation. Activation told me no patch available for 3D Acrobat. SO, I called tech support back and they told me ,IE7 issue and had to install the newest update. I installed and still have the same issue. Does anyone know what is causing this? and How can I fix the issue? I am in the process of uninstalling CS3 to get it back to where it was working for the user and then deal with this issue later. I do have the same issue with another user that doesn't use the 3D toolkit for now. Please, I am about to lose it.
    Thanks,
    John

    Did you do a Custom installation of CS3 (not attempting to install Acrobat over Acrobat 3D?)? If not then it might have made a mess the Acrobat activation component. I think you're probably on the correct path in doing the uninstall. You may want to use the cleanup script. Then reinstall Acrobat 3D and do a custom installation of CS3.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro deployment issue

    Hello. I am having a deployment issue with Adobe Acrobat 9 using Altiris. I create the rip which is bassically an image of the install. My facility has pruchased 50 seats for this software so I know we are covered for the users that we have to use this software. The issue that I am having after I make the rip, and deploy it to a machine it asks for the CD key again in order to use. Am I having an issue with my installation or is Adobe put some kind of security into their software so that when you try to make a rip of the installation is asks for teh CD Key again after the install? Is this an issue that can be resolved?

    SOLUTION:
    The issue was somehow related to DPI (START > Settings > Control Pannel > Display > Settings Tab > Advanced button). Eventhough the DPI was set to normal, I switched it to LARGE, restarted the machine, logged in after the reboot, changed it back to normal size, restarted again, logged in once more, checked the Printer Preferences and PRESTO --- a properly displayed window.

  • Adobe CS3 License and Reinstall Issue

    After a while of using Adobe Design Suite CS3 I got an unexpected error 'Licensing for this product has stopped working'. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Suite, but installation for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator keeps failing. Only Acrobat and Shared Components installs.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Uninstall and try one more time. There is a bug in teh CS3 licensing system where it will only work after the 2nd reinstall. If that doesn't fix it, manually delete the caps.db (C:\Program Files\Common files\Adobe\caps) and run the drill again. It will complain that the caps.db is damaged the first time, so you need to run this twice as well...
