After install acrobat DC doesn't launch

I'm trying to install the free trial version of Acrobat DC on my up-to-date Win Vista OS PC. After download and install, when I get to the "Launch Acrobat" interface box and press either the "launch" or "close" button nothing happens, except the interface goes away. Nothing regarding Acrobat DC shows in the "Programs & Features" control panel interface. Only Reader, Flashplayer, & an old version of Photoshop Elements is on this machine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hey leep58216131,
I am sorry, but Adobe Acrobat DC is not a supported version on Windows Vista OS which is why you are facing this problem.
You might need to upgrade to a newer OS that is fully compatible with this Acrobat version.
To know more on system requirements, you can refer this Kb doc link mentioned here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
Hope that helps.

Anubha

After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change t

After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change to Acrobat/Reader icon and double clicking on any icon/file launches Acrobat/Reader (instead of the native application associated to the file type). Is there an easy fix for this problem?

I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware of a native PDF viewer for Windows.
Nonetheless, if you want to change your default PDF application in Windows, you need to right click on any .PDF file, select "Properties",
then "Change",
then select the program you want to open a PDF with.

Hi Kiro ,
Did you try opening that file in any other browser ?If not ,please try doing that once and see if that works for you.
Try Repairing Acrobat once and see if that helps.

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

Problem with getting PDF Options after installing Acrobat Pro 8.0

Hello
I have some problems after installing Acrobat Pro 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
In the past I worked with Acrobat Pro 7.0.8. Then when I choose the printer Adobe PDF 7.0 I had always a pulldown menu in the Printer Settings. to decided what kind of PDF I want (Best Quality, PDF/1, PDF/3, Low Quality, etc)
After Intallion Acrobat Pro 8.0, I had both Adobe PDF 7.0 & 8.0 availible in the Printer Menu, but either the PDF Options is not availible for both (in some programs) or for both it is visible as "AdobePDFPDE70" but it has a line through it and I cann't select it.
Then I delete Adobe 7.0 & 8.0 from the folder "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/" and started Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 again. It recognised that an Adobe PDF need to be installed but again it is not availible or AdobePDFPDE70 has a line through.
I have still installed Adobe Pro 7.08 on my MacBook Pro because their is no PitStop Professional availible for Adobe Acrobat 8.0
Who can help me to make my PDF Options Availible. I also looked at the Adobe Site for a Solutions but I found only 4 Threads for Acrobat 8 in combination with OS X and it was regarding other problems.
I work with German OS X and german Versions of Acrobat and PitStop

Hello
I solved the problem. The files "AdobePDFPDE700.plugin" & "AdobePDFPDE800.plugin" conflict each other.
I solved it in the following way
- quit Adobe Acrobat
- delete Adobe PDF 7.0 & 8.0 From the Printer Manager
- remove the file "AdobePDFPDE700.plugin" & "AdobePDFPDE800.plugin" from /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/
- restart Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 and activate its self repair function from within the Help menu
- quit Acrobat and re-boot your Mac
- a Printer & "Adobe PDF 8.0" will be availible. Now the PDF Options are availible in all the Programs I working with!
I experienced that the Acrobat Pro 7.08 is very unstabil after the Installation of 8.0, let's hope that PitStop will bring very soon a new Version compatible with Acrobat 8.0

After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted. Anybody else with this major problem?

After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted.
I have tried resetting my Mac's PRAM but the problem still remains.
Even USB memory sticks are unmounted efter a few seconds.
Anybody else with this major problem?

I have the same problem, although mine has not been solved by ESET update, finder settings, PRAM & SMC resets or anything else.
Don't get it, my external hard drive still works on both my housemates computers - one macbook pro (with snow leopard) and one dell, just not on mine with mountain lion.
Any ideas for me guys?

Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

To whom it may concern,
after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jochen

Dear Claudio and Shari,
Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
Thank's!
@Shari
I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.
Best regards,

After installing Acrobat 8, can only open Word in safe mode

After installing Acrobat 8, can only open Word in safe mode. If I delete my customized Normal.dot, then all is well. However I want the macros available from the customized Normal.dot. I tried switching Templates after opening Word and it immediately triggers an error message: "Word has encountered a problem and needs to close." It then recovers all my recent documents even though they were fine, had no need to be saved. Thinking that Normal.dot had been corrupted, I went back to the original M$ Normal.dot and re-created my macros and saved as a new Normal.dot. The next time I open Word, I get the error message.
I have a template with only one macro. It does not cause this problem. The template I prefer has 3 macros and I will need to create more.

Thank you in advance for any help you may give.

I am told by my company's IT folks that the problem resides with Office 2003 sp3. If you remove SP3 and revert to SP2, the issue vanishes, so they say (I have not done it yet).
M$ is possibly ignoring the issue permanently, since they are on a new initiative to unseat PDF in favor of their own document format they're working on presently. I've sent a million error reports to them and....NOTHING.
Good luck.
PS- if you've found another solution, please send me an e-mail @ [email protected]

No Adobe PDF menu in Office 2000 after installing Acrobat 9

Hello everybody, I have an urgent problem.
Preliminaries: I use Windows XP (SP3), with 2 GB RAM. Until yesterday, I had an installation of Adobe CS2 Premium. Acrobat 7 professional comes with the PDFMaker plug-in for Office, so I could create PDF files directly from Word... and all was well.
But: yesterday, I installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard *without removing CS2 first* (after having made sure this was possible -- for the time being, I'll have to run Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign CS2 'parallel' to their CS4 cousins, as I'm in the middle of a large project). I was aware of the fact that Acrobat is a 'jealous' program, and that installing Acrobat 9 Pro (which is shipped with my version of CS4) would uninstall ('upgrade', the CS4 installer calls it) the previous version of Acrobat. OK, no problem... or so I thought.
However, I now no longer have an "Adobe Acrobat" menu or tool bar in Word (nor in Excel, nor in any other Office 2000 application). Apparently, the PDFMaker plug-in isn't installed (or doesn't work with Office 2000?).
So -- what should I do? There's a PDFMaker folder in the Acrobat 9 folder tree, but I have absolutely no idea how to proceed. Is there any way to install the plug-in manually?
And, if the PDFMaker plug-in does not work with Office 2K, are ther any other Office plugins out there to help me create PFD files directly from Word?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Just a quick follow up; I had seen several fixes that directed the user to click on the help menu, then choose "disabled items" then enable the pdf item...the only problem was that when I clicked on the Help menu, there was nothing referencing "disabled items"! In frustration, I finally called Adobe tech support, and the person I spoke with had me click on Help, then About Microsoft Office Word...lo and behold! at the bottom right was a button labeled "disabled items". Problem solved; hope at least one person reads this and avoids the frustration of looking for something in the wrong place.
Ok, so it wasn't a quick follow-up...sorry!

IE 10.0.9 errors after installing Acrobat XI

On Windows 8 x64, after I install Acrobat XI I get two Internet Explorer errors every time I close a page/tab. I'm using IE 10.0.9, all current MS updates, and I've tried uninstalling AXI (error goes away) and reinstalling (error comes back). The event log shows only IE errors, not Acrobat. I've replicated this several times, and it doesn't happen with Chrome or Firefox. I can open PDF files within IE. Any ideas? Thanks!
Small update - if I 'cancel' the error message before it completes processing I get it a 2nd time, if I allow it to run until the 'close' button appears I only get one. Either way, every time I close a browser window or tab I get the error.

There is an outside chance that updating AA XI will resolve the issue. You mentioned updates to MS, but not to Acrobat.

Acrobat 8 doesn't launch

Here's what I get anytime I want to start Acrobat 8 (it's a part of Design Suite).
"Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
Launching Photoshop or Flash doesn't help...

When you launch some other part of the suite, do you also go through the steps to complete the online activation?
Also, Since this is a USER TO USER forum, not Adobe support, you
may need to contact Adobe for help

Trouble after installing Acrobat X Pro in Windows 7

I just downloaded Acrobat X pro (upgrade) and installed on Windows 7 dell laptop. I had to uninstall ACROBAT 7.1 STD to do a clean install. After installing the product I was receiving low memory messages (4GB is installed) I also received a couple of blue screen followed by auto reboot. Dell claim that there is no hardware issues (brand new laptop). Are there any known issues with ACROBAT X Pro and Windows 7 pro (32bit) service pack 1

Hi LosBashBrothers,
To investigate about this issue, installation logs help in a great way. Can you please share the installation log for this session ?
To create installation logs, enable Windows Installer logging yourself. Open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmupx

Default printer resets at each reboot after installing Acrobat X Pro

I installed Acrobat X Pro yesterday, and updated it after the install to version 10.1.4. Since that time my default printer has been reset after each computer reboot to the first physical printer on my printers list - an HP 5900 series. I want my default printer to be my HP 6940, which is local, connected by USB, and have gone into Start/Printers and Faxes on my Windows XP Professional machine to do this. But each time I reboot, the default is switched back to the HP 5900. The printers have been installed on my machine for years with no issues, and I had Acrobat 9 Professional on my machine until yesterday - with no issues. I tried live chat for help, but the representative told my it was a physical printer issue and I needed to contact HP. Can you help me stop my computer from resetting the default printer each time it is shut down?
The order of printers listed on my machine:
Adobe PDF
HP 5900 Series
HP 6940
(several network printers listed below here)
Thanks!
Bryan
