Adobe X Pro - requires additional files to be installed by system administrator...

Error message:
Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
1) just an 'ole lady here - on a pc - not a system administrator (though I think have admin rights in windows 7).
The details:
a) had a lenovo small format pc running XP - Acrobat X Pro worked fine on this pc, could create pdfs and fillable forms etc.
b) Just bought a used pc with Windows 7 Enterprise - after a week of issues - duh - I realized X Pro was not working on the new(used) pc, except to let me open a pdf, and even add a text box, or sign or line out a change in a pdf. - that is all it will let me do..
c) I had a purchased CD of Adobe Pro Standard. In 2012, I was able to upgrade it to Adobe X Pro 10, while still on XP, with a digital download, for which I have the registration key.
The X Pro version showing this morning was 10.1.12 (before I uninstalled it, and I assume after various updates).
I've also tried repairing the installation - and selecting the function I need PDFMaker (to work with MS Word) -
I have uninstalled Adobe, and re-installed it, from my old downloaded file the version is 10.0.0
Finally read that I should have deactivated it on the old pc.
Called Support, and they gave me an all new, full version (download) of Adobe X Pro at 5 pm est, and a NEW S/N.
I uninstalled, the old version, ran ccleaner, restarted the pc, installed the new X Pro 10.0.0, used the new s/n and still cannot use Adobe.
Still can't, create a pdf, combine files from word or create a form from a word doc - nada. Also, do not seem to have Adobe Reader anywhere on this pc, either (a good thing from what I've read).
When I was on XP I did not have this problem. Now that I am on Windows 7 Enterprise, I have the problem.
(I am using MS Office 2003 and do plan to update to 2010. Using Google Apps for Work, small business working from home, did not like Office 365 since I am on a MiFi hotspot for internet (country living))
Maybe all of this was more information than you'd want or need... just was not sure what is is causing the conflict/problem.
Feeling out of my depth with this and really need some guidance / help / specific steps to take - Thanks in advance for your help!

How do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created.

how do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created

Hi sbuckton,
Sure, you can encrypt your document while converting it. However you will have to use your Microsoft office for that.
Please refer to the above screenshot & follow the steps :-
1) Open Microsoft word with your word file.
2) Click on the 'Acrobat' tab on the top.
3) Then choose the Create PDF option form below.
4) A pop up window will appear asking you to save the file as PDF, however before saving the file click on the 'Restrict Editing' option.
5) Again a pop up window will come up on your screen, you can choose for the Encryption method & password protection option in order to secure the document.
6) Once done, Save the file.
In case if you still experience any issue please let us know.
Regards,
Aadesh

I can not open Firefox. I keep getting the message "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." I have tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling it but without success. What should I do?

Which Fx version? When you uninstalled Fx, did you reboot computer before reinstall?
Also, check for / delete any leftover files in the Fx programs install folders, before reinstall?
Is your profile in the default location or custom location?
Have you tried creating a new, completely clean profile - to test (then make sure to select that profile to start Fx - from the Profile Manager)? (no addons or plugins installed).
Does the user acct (that Fx fails under) have access ("rights") to all locations - especially for Fx profiles location?

Actually, it's a breath of fresh air getting all of the info needed to help.
But now the bad news. You're in the forum for Adobe Reader, but you want to post in the Acrobat forum from the sounds of it (many more pro's there for your product).
Here's a link and good luck. Acrobat

Logic pro 9 additional content won't install and iMac 27" late 2012 won't start in Safe Mode

Hi,
I have bought Logic Pro 9 and have encountered problems installing the Additional Content pack. I am using late 2012 iMac 27" (with fusion 3TB drive) and OS X Mavericks (10.9.1).
For some reason the Additional Content pack does not install when downloaded from Logic Pro menu and it does not install either when using the .dmg file. I noticed that many users are facing the same problem, but they have resolved the issue installing the Additional Content in Safe Mode. However, my iMac does not boot in Safe Mode (other users are encountering this annoying problem and it remains unresolved by Apple, see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5485131?start=0&tstart=0).
This is extremely frustating, because I am using my iMac for my work and therefore it is impossible to backup my data reinstall the OS X. Additionally, I am using the computer for my music projects and I am completely stuck, because I cannot use insrument patches that I need.
Does anyone have solution for this?

Install on my Core2Duo 17" MacBook Pro went flawlessly, but install on my 8 Core Mac Pro suffered this problem. Many thanks for the solution Don, it worked for me ;-)
I am trying hard to supress an ironic chuckle though, reading other posts in this thread .... suggesting that people should call Apple Tech Support and expressing incredulity that people weren't doing this as their first option.
Well I can say say that after several calls to Apple Tech Support, amounting to several hours on the phone, and well over an hour on the phone with them today, I was informed that this problem is a known bug, and that Apple are working on a solution. They couldn't tell me what the bug is, what machines are affected, or what else might trigger it, or when a bug release might be due.
Their troubleshooting steps basically involved various reboots, repairing disc permissions, reseting the user home directory via terminal, booting up in recovery mode (but not safe mode as per this solution) trashing various preferences files, and, as a final step, uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
Only when all that failed was I told that there is a known bug that Apple are working on.
I came here to see what the community was saying, as the Tech Support guy did say there was likely to be some info on the forums. Lo and behold, a solution is posted and it works.
Why are Apple's Tech Support (in the UK at least) not aware of this?
Oh well, at least I'm up and running on my Mac Pro now.
Thanks again Don,
Cheers,
Nigel

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (CS5 Suite) -Deployment Silent Install

Hello!
Has anyone managed to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac to deploy with any level of reliability through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop?

I've not tried that program but I've had limited success using ARD to install/update Adobe products.

Why does Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 cannot detect and install BlackMagicDesign's UltraStudio 4k?!

I have the new MAC Pro and I installed Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 few days ago.
I have the UltraStudio 4K by BlackMagicDesign connected through ThunderBolt.
BUT...
Premiere Pro CC cannot add it to the device control.

Did you install the UltraStudio Device driver before Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 or after it ?

Need a trial download of Adobe Flash Pro CS3 to teach what is installed in my classroom

I am trying to get familiar with Adobe Flash Pro CS3 ... I have it in my classroom ... but I would like a version for my mac at home so I can better prepare. I have access to CS5 but I need the CS3. Can anyone tell me where I might get the earlier trial download ?

Your only chance (other than shady sources from the dark side of the web): http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html. Users have reported, though, that some of that stuff is no longer avialable...

When I click on the firefox icon, I get the message "FAiled to read the configuration file. Please contract your system administrator."

I was using my laptop on a hotel wireless the past couple of days. I returned home and put it back on the docking station. However, I do remember getting this same error message while I was on the hotel wireless. Since IE worked, I didn't worry about it, thinking it had something to do with the hotel wireless. However, now I'm home and it still won't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox a couple of times - still the same error message. I don't have a "system administrator" to contact - that would be me!

How to install Logic Pro X additional files to a secondary hard drive?

Hi all, I have tried and failed to install additional Logic Pro X data to my second hard drive. The SSD that OS X runs through is almost full and I don't have enough space for the files to stay there.
I have tried to use the 'Symbolic Link' solution, but to no avail as it continues to install the software on my SSD! I can tell, because after installing the files I lose a big chunk of storage on the SSD.
Please help! Is there an alternate solution, am I doing it wrong?

Sorry! I did select Logic Pro... Wonder why that happened.... Thanks

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 Won't Install Updates

Adobe Updater shows that the following update is available:
Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0 (CPSID_5026)
When I select the update and click install, it downloads the the update, but as soon as it finishes downloading and starts the installation process, I get the following pop-up box:
"The installation process has incountered a problem. Please choose from the following option." My choices are "Run this update again", "Stop installing and continue later", or Cancel this update and quit".
My only real option is to cancel the update and quit.
I tried downloading the updates directly from the website in addition to downloading them from the help menu in Adobe.
Not sure if it has any relevance, but I'm currently running Windows XP Version 5.1 with Service Pack 3.
Can anyone offer some assistance to get the updates installed?

My personal experience with Acrobat updates is that they MUST be installed in numerical order. I checked the Adobe updates for Acrobat 9. There are two updates (9.1.2 and 9.1.3) that you need to download and update Acrobat before downloading and installing 9.2.0.
The update feature from inside Acrobat only seems to work if Acrobat is updated with the most recent predecessor update. A very clumsy way to do it indeed!
Good luck.

I purchased creative cloud, so I thougth Adobe Acrobat Pro was included. When I install the program with my CC ID, I keep getting a trial version, I paid for Creative cloud so why should I buy Adobe acrobat seperately?

Can anyone help me please?
I tried to install and remove twice, We bought one year full package of creative cloud programs.
Many thanks for a solution, i have 3 days trial left.

Hello Kelly,
first, because you wrote that you "installed ..." a try to (un)install by own resources is not enough!)
As strange as it may seem I fear it's now a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
On the other Hand, in my eyes it's as you said, CC includes many other programs, please see Adobe Creative Cloud . Here a screenshot of some of my programms I loaded down to use in CC:
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
