Adobe Reader 9.0.1 and Adobe Professional 9

We are using both applications.  However we install Adobe 9 Pro after the reader.   This results in the Pro 9 opening as the default for pdf's, which  we do not want.  Is there a way to make the reader the default with a registy entry?  Also will the registry entry stay the same so we don't have to change it very time there is an upgrade/new version?
We use Window XP Professional and Vista.
Any help on this would be appricated
Thanks
Sharon

It is not recommended nor supported to have both on your system. You are experiencing one of the many reasons why.
Also, if you have Acrobat, there is no reason to have Reader.

    Please help me add back the PDF Printer - I am missing the PDF Printer (PDFMaker) and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Professional 10, I have tried repairing it and made sure the options for PDFMaker are selected, to no avail.  I need the PDF Printer to use with our document comparison product, using the add printer options and adding the Adobe converters doesn't fix this issue either, it just adds an option to convert documents to PDF to a local folder which doesn't fix the issue.
    I have a contract for Adobe Support but cannot reach a technician by 1-800 number, does anyone (1) have a solution to this problem? and (2) a telephone number for which I can call for assistance?
    Thanks!

  • I have lost my Adobe Professional 8 CD and need to re-install it. Where do i get another CD?

    I have lost the CD that came with my Adobe Professional 8.  I need to re-install the program.   Does anyone know where i can get another CD.

    if you mean acrobat 8 pro and if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

  • Adobe Professional 9.0 display and print quality.

    When I installed Adobe 9.0 it viewed and printed fine.  Now it's unreadable.  What settings do I need to change to get the viewing and printing back to where it's readable?

    This happened to me late last year and through this forum I was able to follow setting changes I believe in my Abode Preferences and it worked.  Then my computer crashed, but when I reinstalled Adobe Professional it was fine.
    Then, we hired a new assistant for me.  She installed Abode Professional 9.0 on a new computer (different version of course), and it was working fine in the beginning like mine did, and then one day she previewed a pdf and printed and the quality of the print became so low quality you couldn't read the text.  Pictures are fine.  I know it has to do something with the setting in preferences, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I changed to fix this problem.  You help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Reader Mobile / Adobe Professional 8.1.5 / Kindle DX

    We have recently purchased a Kindle DX and are attempting to load PDF documents watermarked with Adobe 8.1.5. When these documents are ported to the Kindle DX, the document either crashes the Kindle or the page turns are extremely slow, 7 to 10 seconds per page. All watermarking is being done on Windows XP. A few questions:
    Are there compatibility issues with Adobe Mobile Reader and Adobe Professional 8.1.5
    Should we upgrade to Adobe Professional 9.x?

    Thanks for the quick response, but I have read on multiple sites: http://blogs.adobe.com/billmccoy/2009/05/amazon_others_l.html that Amazon incorporated Adobe's Reader Mobile Technology. Is this not true? If it is, what does this technology give to the Kindle DX?
    "Amazon today announced their new large-screen Kindle DX, including that they have integrated PDF via Adobe's Reader Mobile technology, giving users instant access to millions of business and personal documents. The integration of PDF technology allows users to simply email PDF files to their Kindle email address or quickly move them to the device using a USB connection. The Adobe SDK also supports PDF reflow, so that text can automatically adapt to the screen size, allowing users to consume PDF documents with an enhanced reading experience."

  • OC RDC and Adobe Professional 6.0 compatibility issue

    I have several users who are using OC RDC version 4.5.0 and have a full version of Adobe Professional 6.0 installed on their PCs. They are unable to open the PDFs in OC RDC. Does anyone have any issues as to why these apps are not compatible? Any settings within Adobe Professional that can be modified to get these two apps to work. They users also have Adobe Reader 8.0 but can not open the PDFs.

    Acrobat 6 pro was what.... 2003?
    You're talking about seven-year-old software, which is an a lot of cases unable to open PDFs created now unless they were intentionally made compatible that far back.
    Chances are that reader 9 updated some core files that rendered Acrobat 6 unusable. It's too far back to "upgrade" (7 was the cutoff for that I believe) so either reinstalling from the original media (the OEM disc that came with your system, if it had Acrobat 6 on it) or purchasing Acrobat 9 Pro are your options.
    A side note, if your system came with Acrobat 6  installed, it's probably time to look at a newer, more up to date system as well.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 Not Working on Windows 8

    On a computer running Windows 8 Enterprise, Adobe Reader 11.0.03, and Flash Player 11.8.800.94, I am unable to open a flash-enabled PDF.  Reader gives me the error "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat."  Adobe's Flash verification page shows me that Flash Player is working, and I can open other basic PDFs in Reader.  I have another machine with an identical setup, except that it has Acrobat 11.0.03 instead of Reader, and the PDF opens just fine on that machine.  Why won't Reader open the Flash-enabled PDF?

    Hello,
    I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

  • I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

    Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
    Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
    Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
    If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
    Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

  • When firefox opens a pdf file it always tries to use my old Adobe professional instead of my V9.3 Adobe reader. Can I change this?

    I can't really add any more than this. Often the PDF is incompatible with this older (v6) of adobe professional.

    What is your operating system?
    Open a PDF from where?  If online, in what browser?

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and MAC OS X 10.4.11

    Hi,
    Just installed Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and when I try to open a .pdf, the file opens for around 5seconds and then disappears and Reader closes without any apparent error message.
    In all my years of using free Acrobat (now reader? - why the change in name?) I've never had an issue as just a "dumb" user... I'd sure like to get back to that situation ;-)
    Here is what gets written into the console window if that helps:
    ===== samedi 29 mars 2008 10 h 01 Europe/Paris =====
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
    what(): Unable to determine registration filepath!
    Any and all suggestions gratefully received.

    >In all my years of using free Acrobat (now reader? - why the change in name?
    The name was Adobe Acrobat Reader until version 5.0. As of 6.0 (2003)
    they changed it to Adobe Reader.
    >
    > what(): Unable to determine registration filepath!
    Could be this issue:

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Windows 8

    Hello,
    I am getting the error "cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some Characters may not display or print correctly" in Adobe Reader 11.0.03. If I click thru the error, the pdf is fine and perfectly readable and doesn't appear again. Also, my co-workers can download/open the same pdf's from the same source and get no errors at all. If I forward the pdf that I received the error with, the person who received the pdf in question doesn't get the error. It is random, it doesn't happen with all pdf's, but enough to cause concern. I have uninstalled/re-installed Adobe Reader 11.0.03, and done a repair. The font in question is installed. I even downloaded/installed the Arial font from an installation CD of Windows 8 in case mine were corrupted somehow.  Some backround information:
    Windows 8 on a tablet PC running a Corporate image
    Adobe Reader 11.0.03
    This image is the standard for my company and is the exact same on every tablet that is deployed within the company. Yet, to my knowledge, I am the only one receiving this error. I do not want to have this tablet re-imaged and don't believe it should be necessary.
    Any and all help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    If I have forgotten to include any needed information to help your diagnosis/resolution, please let me know and I will post it as soon as I can.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and Pro Extended

    I tried to upgrade to the 9.3.4 version of reader and it wouldn't let me for some reason. Something about a missing .msi file in one of the directories. So I used revo uninstaller to remove it and try to reinstall it. I redownloaded the program and the ran the Adobe Reader 9.3.4 Update - setup. It processes to 100 % and then closes. And nothing. so I don't know whats going on. I also downloaded the trial of Adobe Pro Extended and everything went fine up to the install screen. I click the install button and nothing happens, so no clue whats going on with that either. Any ideas?

    I tried the first link to install reader and it simply runs to 100% and then closes.

    Can you try installing the same from the following locations:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro_extended
    P.S. The error message that you received while updating Adobe Reader was  probably due to the fact that you may have deleted the cached setup  files on your system. Hence, it was prompting you to provide the  required installer file (.MSI file)

  • Printing problem Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and Windows 7 64bit

    Good morning:
    I cannot print a PDF to my Toshiba E-Studio165 copier (print through router).  The data is sent to my E-Studio and the data light blinks and the copier starts but nothing prints.
    I can print the same PDF to an old Brother HL-5140 that is connected via USB.
    At first I thought there might be a document converter problem but as I can print to 1 printer but not the other that might not be the situation.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    David

    Many thanks for your helpful advices!
    Now I know, that after 9.3.0 first must be installed 9.3.1 and second 9.3.2. I see, this was the error and not the en_US/german problem.
    I have prepared 3 screenshots of my Windows 7, to show you, that I have 3 Adobe Readers in my Adobe folder under C:\Program Files (x86).
    Please see snap0003.jpg with the three Adobe Readers. In snap0004.jpg can you see my Add or Remove Programs: Adobe Reader is not existing.
    In snap0005.jpg is a screenshot from Secunia PSI. I had the Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and they offer me the update to 9.3.2! That brings me an update error.
    But my problem is, how can I uninstall 2 of 3 Adobe Readers. What can you say me to this problem?

  • Boot Camp and Adobe Professional

    My fiancee recently bought a Dell with Vista and had huge compatibility issues with Adobe Professional to the point where we had to return the computer. She now wants to buy a Mac, but we have about $700 sunk into Microsoft software (Adobe Professional and Microsoft Word Suite), so the Boot Camp software is attractive to her. I have two questions. First, can we load Adobe and Word onto the Boot Camp side once we receive the computer? Second, does XP or Vista come with the computer, or do we load that on there ourselves? We just want to make sure it's all compatible before we make the purchase.

    You have to use an XP or Vista install disk.
    Those apps should work, but I won't guarantee it.
