Are Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Windows 8.1 compatible?

Trying to install Acrobat 7 from cd onto new pc windows 8.1
Gets to the point where it says installing acrobat but installation never progresses
Retired and only really need to use it occasionally now so don't want to buy newer version if can be avoided

In purchasing Win 8.1 (and probably a new computer), you have effectively made some of your software obsolete. If AA 7 installation is successful with Acrobat and Distiller, you will still have to create a work around as the Adobe PDF printer drive and AcroTray are neither compatible with Win 8.1. You might try to install it in XP compatibility mode. The drivers I mentioned will still probably fail.

Acrobat Professional 6.0 and Windows XP Servicepack 3

Are there any known compatibility problems with Acrobat Professional 6.0 and Windows XP Service Pack 3?

It has worked fine on one of my machines with XP SP3. It has been that way for 2 or more years with no problems.

Acrobat 9 Standard and Windows 7 Compatibility

We are in the process of planning a migration of company computers to Windows 7 and Office 2010. We have a large number of Acrobat users with various versions with many using v9, just upgraded last year. Microsoft's "Windows 7 Compatibility Center" says Acrobat v9 Standard is "Compatible, No Action Required". We are finding that this may not be the case, specifically with printing. I have not been able to locate any information on the Adobe site stating compatibility of older versions, only that Acrobat X is compatibite.
Is anyone having success with Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Standard? Does anyone know where to find Adobes compatibility statement for older Acrobat version?
Thanks!

Acrobat 9.0 is not Windows 7 compatible. However, I think it was compatible somewhere around 9.2.3. If you upgrade to Acrobat 9.4.3 you should have no issues. I ran with that setup for many months using Acrobat Pro.

Baffled! What are adobe acrobat 8.1 standard and adobe reader 8.1.05

My laptop has installed adobe acrobat 8.1 standard. I need to complete an online form which requires a minimum of adobe reader 8.1.05 so I downloaded adobe reader X, assuming this would work, but get a pop-up notice telling me I need to upgrade and still cannot insert text in the form. Can anyone advise me what I need to download? I really am confused what the adobe acrobat does and what the reader does!

The developer very poorly phrased the requirement.
The proper phrasing could be "You need to update your version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to minimum version of 8.1.05."
Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat are 2 distinct products, one only reads the other is a full processing product., but both products interact with the same file format and for the same version number Adobe Acrobat has the same capabilities that Adobe Reader has and then some features that are unique to Acrobat.
With JavaScirpt a developer can identify the product (Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat), the variation (Reader, Standard, Professional, Business Tools) and the major and minor version of the product. And with that information and knowledge of the capabilities of each version, can make a custom message for the end user if a newer version is needed. This script can be executed as the PDF is opened. With some simple coding the developer could have even cusotmized the message for the procuct that tue user had. Had this been done, it would have been very clear as what you had to do. This information and properties have been avilable since the introduction of JavaScript in vesion 3.01.

Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to 64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working." I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .

I purchased Acrobat Standard and it's not compatible with Mac OS. What can I do?

Really? How is it that I actually purchased from my Mac and when I went to use/download, and I get a dialog box with "The Adobe Standard edition is not available for Mac, please download on a windows computer?" What is available to work with my Mac?

Hi rohaco13,
Acrobat Pro is available for Mac OS. Please Contact Customer Care--an agent will be able to convert your Standard subscription to a Pro subscription, if you'd like (the Pro subscription does cost a bit more than Standard, however).
Best,
Sara

Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э - in Office 2013 in Windows 8 Pro or Standard and Windows 7 Pro or Standard

The issue I believed is Windows specific. It only appears to work correctly on a Windows XP system. I can get the keys to work on Windows 7 or Windows 8 system.
Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э
I have a client that noticed this issue. He is a linguist and he uses the letters quite frequently. He further explained that...
Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э
On Windows 8 there is a mnemonic Russian keyboard.
Unfortunately there are three letters which I can not find: щ, ч and э.
These three letters exist in the standard Russian keyboard. They are at the following location (in the US keyboard): o,x and '.
I also did a test on a Windows 7 machine running office 2013 and still the letters are missing as described.
The client explained without these three letters the mnemonic keyboard is useless
Your help to address this issue is greatly appreciated.

I think it is by design. You can use Preview to show the keyboard layout.

I can't send email with Adobe acrobat 9.2.0 and Windows mail

Hi, I have the problem mentioned in the subjet: I can't send e-mail with pdf attached from Acrobat 9.2.0...when I click on the envelope acrobat tells me it can't estabilish a link to Windows Mail (latest version).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Massimo.
Ps: I try to use the search funtion but without luck.

Andrea. Just fixed my issue.
This worked for me.
1. I deleted my iCloud account from Mail settings on my iPhone and iPad. Make sure to keep all information in your iPhone
2. I then went back to settings and chose iCloud instead of mail and logged in using my Apple id (.mac). It asks you to merge data (say yes)
3. I went back to Mail setting and then iCloud account. You will notice apple Id reverts back to (.mac) address but if you select Account <apple id> and look under advanced the email address under mail will be your new (.me) address.
Hope this helps. I've been trying for 5 days. Just make sure to add back iCloud through the iCloud settings and not through Mail settings.

Acrobat 9.3 standard and IE8 printing freezes

I can't believe this is still an issue...its been a known problem since end of last year at least (IE 8 came out in Mar 09?). It freezes my computer such that I have to POWER OFF!!!! I am NOT looking forward to the first time this happens with a user.
Older version of acrobat same web page on IE8 works ok.
Has anyone else encountered this and have a workaround for IE8? How do I open or look at issues?
My users are general....they are most likely to have IE and mostly hopefully doing their autoupdates to ie8. Perhaps they're not as likely to have Acrobat 9 (as opposed to older)...but this is such a bad thing to happen...

Unfortunately, updating is not an option. The person cannot update Acrobat because it would violate organizational policy. He is locked in to Acrobat 9.3.1 for the foreseeable future. What other options are available?

How to download Acrobat 6.0 Standard onto Windows 8? [was: Question]

I have a 6.0 Standard version which I am attempting to install on my new computer which has Windows 8. It will not download. Any known issues? It does not recognize it at all.

if you bought it from adobe you can use adobe acrobat 7 std here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
use the serial number posted on the download page, not your current one.
to install, you may need to use compatibility mode.

Incompatibility of Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows 7

I have a new 64 bit Windows 7 computer and have been getting an error message when trying to install AA 6.0 standard--not compatible with the operating system. Any thoughts?

The real problem is the 64-bit aspect. Also, AcroTray will not generally work, meaning you would have to do extra operations to create a PDF. I doubt that AA6 will work at all on a 64-bit system. If you had a 32-bit system or possibly with 32-bit compatibility if that can be done you might be able to run it. However, you would have to change the printer port to FILE and then open any file created in Distiller to finish the process.
So if there is a way to install a 32-bit process in a compatibility mode on the system, there is an outside chance. In the long run you should just buy AAXI (not upgrade from 6) if you have the funds for that.

Try to open Acrobat 7.0 standard, and the reader opens

The title says it all. The Reader is the default to look at pdf documents, but why does the reader program open when I want Acrobat?
I have to have the reader as the default (long story, but we have some accounting software that might be 'upset' at the change.
If I have to set Acrobat 7.0 as the standard, how do I do it, since the reader opens?
two cents ¢¢

Thanks, but that does not address what is the problem. I did just that. I double clicked ACROBAT, and the reader opened. I closed the reader, and doub le clicked Acrobat again. Again the reader opened. I did this about 3 or 4 times.
Eventually, acrobat did open (and then, when I wanted the reader, acrobat opened..
So, it sounds as if this is a program that might have to be wrestled with.

Help with Acrobat Pro 8.2 and Windows 7 strange error.

When I print something to the PDF printer, the PDF file is created successfully but the job stays in the print queue and says "error printing" when I look at the document in the print queue window. I have tried to "repair" the installation and this did not work. Any thoughts? It's annoying that every time I create a PDF I have to open the print queue and cancel the job becasue it says error after the file was created ok

I just installed 8.0 in compatibility mode for XP SP3, and then each update one after another until I got it up to 8.2 - worked just fine. Except I still have the problem I originally posted about so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

Are Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Windows 8.1 compatible?
