Adobe Reader 9.1 removes previous Acrobat version

We're going to use Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to customize Adobe Reader 9.1 for deployment to our company users. We used the same wizard to deploy Reader 9.0.
Some of our users have Acrobat 7.0 Standard installed and we need to preserve it, and set Reader 9.1 as default to read pdf. I opened Reader 9.1 in the customization wizard and found the installation option "Remove previous version of Acrobat" is checked and grey-out. That looks like once Reader 9.1 installation will remove Acrobat 7.0.
This is not the case with Reader 9.0.
How to preserve Acrobat 7.0 while deploying Reader 9.1?

Their recommendation is to not install Reader and Acrobat on the same computer.
Correct. They neither support nor suggest having two versions of Acrobat and Reader or a combination of both.

Not my favoured solution, but it'll work I guess.
I can relate. Too bad they can't get around that. I can thinnk of many reasons people would want both (most common being they have an older version of Acrobat to create PDF's but want a newer version of Reader to view newer PDF features.) Keep in mind that many people run both but have no issues whatsoever but there's no guarantees.

Adobe Acrobat XI substitutes automatically previous Acrobat versions?

Recently I bought Adobe Creative Cloud, after using years Adobe CS3. Adobe Acrobat XI substitutes automatically previous Acrobat versions?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Adobe Customization Wizard X. Remove Previous Greyed out

I need to create an install package for Adobe Reader 10 which remove the previous versions of Reader but retains the versions of Acrobat. This feature is greyed out in the Customization Wizard. How do I get this to work?

By default the installer for Reader will remove any previous versions of Reader. There is a command line switch (REMOVE_PREVIOUS=NO) which can be used to keep the old versions of Reader (which is not recommended by Adobe).
Reader installer will not touch the installation of Acrobat (any versions).
You do not need Customization Wizard if you only want to do this.
With Customization Wizard you can perform other customization like EULA accept, default PDF viewer, installation UI etc.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Adobe Reader not working after update to version XI

I have had Adbobe Reader installed on my PC for ages and have been using this to view my PDF files without any issues. However, Adobe Reader updated automatically to version XI a few days ago. Since then, I have been completely unable to open Adobe Reader at all. The screen does not load up fully with only the top menu bar visible and the remainder a blank grey screen with all menu options inactive or greyed out, and sometimes crashes and closes automatically after a few seconds. I am unable to view any PDF file, even those which I previous viewed with no issues. I have tried running the Adober Cleaner tool but this has not helped. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader numerous times with no success. I have also tried reinstalling previous versions of Adober Reader but have idential issues with these too. I have tried checking system compatability using the troubleshooter tool but this appears to be fine, and have also tried disactivating my AntiVirus/firewall software (Norton 360). I am running a Windows 7 operating system in English (UK). Any help gratefully received as Adobe will not offer telephone assistance as this is freeware! Thanks in advance.

You may have given up by now.. I just hope this advice helps some other user..
Have encountered this isssue several times..
several points I will note: of the machines I have worked on to date: only 1 did not have malware, all thus far have been 64bit Win7 and it seems after update to Reader 11.03..
but each so far I have:
- Checked for and removed any malware and or strange BHO's and Toolbars
- cleared all temp files including temporary internet
- removed Adobe reader and ANY OTHER PDF READER and reinstalled Adobe reader
- Checked that PDF's are associating with Adobe reader (sounds silly )
- Started the PC in Safe Mode - check reader works
                                             - Disabled Protected Mode in preferences: then disabled antivirus, along with most startup services and applications
                                             - restarted in normal mode - Check PDF opens normally: 100% of time for me it worked
                                             - re-enabled the anti-virus - restarted PC and rechecked
                                             - re-enable services and applications by group - restart and retest
So far that is all that I have needed to do.
All the best

Can I run Adobe Reader 7 or later with Acrobat 6 Pro?

I currently have Acrobat Pro 6 installed, which works fine. But I am now getting a message appearing prior to opening some pdf's that the document may not display or format properly as they were made by a later version - these aren't the exact words but hopefully you get the idea.
Rather than upgrade to Acrobat Standard or Pro 9 I was going to install Adobe Reader 7 or later. Will Adobe Reader 7 or later work alright with Acrobat Pro 6 or will I get conflicts?
Operating system: Windows XP Pro - SP3

Adobe does not reccomend to have both Acrobat and Reader installed in a same Win machine, as they share some files and are most likely to conflict.

Adobe Reader 9.1 - Fatal Error : Acrobat failed to connect a DDE server

Hi Everyone,
I have some users telling me that when they try to open a pdf attachment in Outlook 2007. Nothing happens. The system just sits there as if you did not click on the attachment. If you wait long enought a popup box from adobe reader comes up and says:
Fatal Error
Acrobat failed to connect a DDE server.
All the PDFs are very simple, just simple scanned images or converted over from a document into a PDF.
I've tried repairing the install and still had no luck - same behaviour. The only way the pdf opens is if we go into task manager and close the AcroRd32.exe process or logoff and log back in.
If it helps, the most recent system change was the upgrade to IE7 and a new anti-virus software.
Thanks,
KEvin

No solution I am afraid but same problem, running full version of AVG and problem hit immediately after Adobe Reader 9.1 upgrade. Pretty darn sure problem is in the upgrade but the relevant Restore Point was overwritten before I figured it out. Any advice welcome.

PDF Files created by previous Acrobat versions

Has anyone had issues with previous scanned PDF files opening blank on a machine? The files were created with Adobe Acrobat 6. Opening them with Adobe Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader 9, they show up blank. If I forward them to another computer, they appear as they should. Is this a .dll issue with Adobe?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Silent Update Adobe Reader von 10.1.4 auf Version 10.1.8?

Hi,
Ich habe Version 10.1.4 und möchte mit einem silent update auf Version 10.1.8 updaten.
Wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html
Acrobat (Formula = Base release + latest quarterly + latest out of cycle patch)

Unacceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.0 (Q) > 10.1.8 (Q) <<<<<<<<<<
Dann funktioniert es nur wenn ich zuerst 10.1.4 deinstalliere bevor ich 10.1.8 installieren kann...
Um 10.1.4 zu deinstallieren brauche ich die GUID z.B. aus Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Installer
Wie muss das Skript aussehen, damit es die GUID von dieser und kommenden Versionen erkennt?
### Aktuell sieht es etwa so aus:
##Installiere Adobe Reader 10.1.4 # derzeit nur mit absoluten Pfaden

@@@ Wie kann ich das für die Zukunft automatisieren?
msiexec /qb /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1031-7B44-AA1000000001} /quiet
Nächster Schritt: Installation 10.1.8 -> da es keine exe ist funktioniert mein aktueller Weg wohl nicht mehr
@@@ Wie funktioniert es mit einer msp? (Bisher nicht erfolgreich gewesen und weiß nicht warum)
Wie in der Formel beschrieben muss es so gemacht werden - -> 10.0.0 -> 10.1.8

Xfdf and pdf works in Adobe Reader 6, but not with new versions 7, 8, X

I have a xfdf file which is created by querying a SQL data base and contains data for a pdf form; it works with Adobe Reader 6, but does not work with new versions of Adobe Readers (7, 8, 9 and X).
It is an intranet site running IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2 with Adobe 6 installed and client systems include XPSP2, XPSP3, Vista, Windows 7 with different versions of IE, Firefox.
With new versions of Adobe Reader, click on the hyperlink launched the pdf form in a browser window without data; below is the link:
        // create shipping slip hyperlink
        string strLtrSlipUrl = "~/Archive/LtrShipSlip.pdf#FDF=" + lblWO.Text + "LtrShipSlip" + ".xfdf";
        HyperLink hlLtrShipPdf = new HyperLink();
        hlLtrShipPdf.Text = "Ltr Shipping Slip";
        hlLtrShipPdf.NavigateUrl = strLtrSlipUrl;
        hlLtrShipPdf.Target = "_blank";
        pnlLtrShipSlip.Controls.Add(hlLtrShipPdf);
I have installed new versions of Adobe Reader in the Web server (to match what the clients are using), but results are the same – blank pdf.
I uninstalled the new versions and installed version 6 and the pdf and xfdf worked happily together, but we need new versions of Adobe Reader in the client computers.
Thanks for helps and suggestions – I have read articles about using iTextSharp to create pdf documents from .NET apps, but that would be my last choice.

Adobe Reader 9 can't save the old FDA forms. FDA must update their forms.

Is the installation file for adobe reader, the same for all the versions of windows ? Is it ?

Hello,
I want to know if the installation file for adobe reader is it the same for all the windows ?
It is because I have to do an automatic installation for XP, seven and windows 8...
It is also the same between 32bits and 64bits ?
Thanks.
Best regards
Sofia Luna

It may be worth mentioning two things.
1. Adobe provide extensive information on Enterprise Deployment of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
2. You may well need a redistribution license to do this, if you are installing on behalf of anyone (accepting EULA for them), pushing, or hosting etc.

Enable 3D Measuring for Adobe Reader in PDF saved by Acrobat Pro Ext plugin

Hello,
I'm developing a plugin for Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended to embed a 3D object in a PDF.
I would like to enable Adobe Reader users to measure the 3D object on the saved file,
like you can do with the menu "Advanced"->"Extend Features in Adobe Reader" in Acrobat Pro Ext.
Is it possible to do that with the SDK without user interaction?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I read something about that LiveCycle, but I don't understand how I should use it...
I'm developing a plugin for Adobe Acrobat and I would like to save the file with the 3D measuring enabled, without the user interaction.
Is the LiveCycle usable within an Acrobat plugin?
