Can acrobat 9 pro be updated onto mac 10.8.2/mtn lion? how?

i had acrobat pro 9 on a mac 10.6.8 that updated regularly up as far as 9.5.0.
then i upgraded to a new machine running 10.8.2 - acrobat migrated with everything else and sent update reminders for 9.5.2, but when i tried to update - i couldn't. i got messages that 2 items needed correcting (printing and safari fixes), did those - but continued to get same message.
so i uninstalled and reinstalled pro 9 (using application folder's uninstall).
now i don't even have 'check for updates' in my help menu!
i downloaded the update from the adobe site, and when i try to run it, it guides me to select the app i want to update, but the app is greyed out, so i can't select it.
i'm now noticing on the site that incremental updates are required, so that may be the problem -- but i can't seem to start from the beginning (9.1) because it only goes up to mac version 10.5.x and i'm 10.8.2.
so i can't seem to do updates even to get back to 9.5 - apparently i'm stuck at 9.0.
does this mean i'm stuck where i am -- or is there a workaround that any of you knows?
hoping you experts can help!
thank you so much!

i'm answering my own question - in hope it helps someone else.
i was able to get back up to 9.5.2 from 9.0, by doing each update one tedious install at a time. thanks to brian for mentioning that. it worked even though the stated information gave compatibility only up to mac os 10.5.x, and i'm at 10.8.2.
haven't tried using the program to work yet, but it seems to be on track.
thanks, all.

Acrobat Pro 9 Updates for Mac

Hello,
where can i download the updates from Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac? I purchased the software a few years ago and ha dot reinstall it. It was possible for me to download the main program, but i can not find the updates up to version 9.5.5. I would need all updates.
Since the updates are not available from your site anymore, is it possible to give me a download link for that?
Thank you
Kai

I am happy to find this posting as I too am reinstalling and the installer came without Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - which was originally included with the CS5 Web Design suite. I found the FTP site and tried downloading a few but they all seem to be patch installer and not Acrobat 9. Can anyone specify the exact URL for the right file?
NEED THE MAC VERSION. This ongoing thread has a lot of people suggesting how to get a windows version.

Can't do any updates through Mac App Store for Mountain Lion

I am just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
I have not seen anything posted around the internet, but when I try to check for a Software Update by using Apple Menu -> Software Update it tries to connect to the App Store and then says it is unavailable at this time, and I am using my schools wifi network, when I use my phone as a hotspot, it just tells me it can't connect to the App Store.
Any ideas?

The servers may be busy. It happens.

Enterprise updating of Acrobat Pro 9.1 on Mac OS X?

I am really frustrated. The only updater I can find for Acrobat Pro 9.1 for Mac OS X seems to require full manual control via GUI, and does not allow in any way for it to be applied via, say, Apple Remote Desktop, or via SSH.
I have 50+ computers here with Acrobat Pro and I want to apply the update. I am the only sysadmin here. Please provide an appropriate installer! I do not have time to walk to each computer, log in, mount the dmg, launch the updater, authenticate, locate Acrobat Pro for you, run it, log out. Especially when the lab is open 110 hours per week and is busy, I need these kinds of updaters to be able to be run in the background via command line.
(Harumph!)
-Jason

Unless there is a "hidden" or "secret" updater for Acrobat Pro 9 (currently 9.1.2 is the most recent patch), there is *NO* way to silently and remotely install the patch. I have been picking apart the contents of the dmg and installer app bundle for over a month now. I have tried every combination I can think of.
There is *NO* facility in the updater app that would allow for syadmins to deploy the patch or patching process to multiple computers, remotely, in the background. This is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ***! (Adobe, get your s*** together. My university has already dropped the purchasing and support of CS4 for all public labs due to this kind of shenanigan, plus the incredibly complex installer structures and deployment issues.)
Please, please, please. If you want institutional volume purchases, you MUST support methods to easily deploy and UPDATE your applications. This Acrobat patch is a dismal failure. I am very seriously considering removing Acrobat Pro from my lab computers, and not renewing licensing when the current CLP is up. For far too long Acrobat Pro has been a considerable pain in the *** for deployment. The @#$@#$ "self heal" b.s., the need to run first as an admin user before any other users on the system can use it... I am ONE guy supporting a LOT of computers. I do NOT have time to be logging into every single machine to launch one application. This is b.s.
Adobe: FIX IT! Or you will lose our business altogether!
Ever hear of the command line? SSH or other remote shell? Apple Remote Desktop? Hello?
You've made the cost of ownership extremely expensive, and not simply in terms of dollars.

I recently installed Acrobat Pro X on my Mac. I initially accepted the terms of agreement, but then every few seconds the same prompted window for the terms of agreement keeps popping up. Can anyone explain why this is happening, and how to resolve?

Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?

Has anyone managed to deploy Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac through ARD?

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?
The main CS3 apps are "better", if still kludgy to deploy somewhat silently, but every time I've tried to get Acrobat Pro 9.0 to deploy, it steadfastly refuses to do so without demanding admin access on at least the first launch, and insisting on running the Updater in the process, which is completely unacceptable.
I should say that I've looked at their Adobe Acrobat deployment site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/), and it's entirely useless for the Mac version.
Why do Adobe make this so hard?

Okay, I think I've figured this out.
* On a clean machine (ie: no Adobe software), install Adobe Acrobat Pro
* Run Acrobat. Insert license code. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Run Distiller. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Edit AcroEFGPro90.plist and AcroEFGDist90.plist which can be found in Contents > MacOS within the Acrobat and Distiller apps respectively.
* Change the "Requires" tags from "YES" to "NO" for all the file resources.
* Copy these to plist files into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and overwrite the ones that are already there.
* Run Acrobat and Distiller again. Allow "selfheal" if prompted. Quit.
* Run again. Quit.
* Build a Mac OS X installer package of the following:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0
/Applications/Utilites/Adobe Utilities
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet*
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet*
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/Adobe*
/Library/Printers/PPDs/.../.../.../ADPDF9.PPD (one per language)
/Users/Shared/Adobe
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
* After you've built the package, go through the Acrobat application bundle and find cupshup.pl. Copy it into the Resources folder of the installer package, and rename it to "postflight" (this gets the installer to configure the PDF printer).
* Distribute through ARD.
* Grab com.adobe.* from ~/Library/Preferences
* Distribute the com.adobe.* files to all users; the .plist files can be done through Workgroup Manager, however com.adobe.118.registration must be copied as-is into the user folder, rather than being injected via MCX or the defaults command or any other method, as it's not a plist.
Dear Adobe,
MAKE THIS SIMPLER.

Where can I download an update to MAC OS X 10.6?

Where can I download an update to MAC OS X 10.6. I'm trying to update my old MacBook Pro so I can update my iPad and iPhone using iTunes. I'm running MAC OS X 10.4 at the moment and have check that its possible just cant fine anywhere on the Apple Store web site to download the upgrade!!. or is my only option to buy a second hand version off ebay? thanks

Updates are done through Software Update and are free downloads. Upgrades you have to purchase - NOT free. Therefore, you must purchase Snow Leopard - how can I purchase snow leopard is a good place to start.

Printing Problems with Acrobat Pro 9.5 for Mac

I have Acrobat pro 9.5 for Mac. I'm using a Canon MG8150 multi-function printer. Everytime I try to print from Arobat Pro I get an error message. Any suggestions? I can print my pdfs from Apple Preview; so it's not the document or the printer.

The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
Hide Details
(1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
(2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

Print to File Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac

Opened a file and edited within Acrobat Pro X for OS/Mac.
I added stamps and text boxes.
Within Windows computer I would go to print, Adobe File.
When I do the same with in Mac, it read "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I follow this procedure, the text boxes and stamps are editable.
I want to save / print the file, so file is "locked" meaning text boxes and stamps are not editable.
How is this done???
See video http://screencast.com/t/y6vXU2xQ1

A better approach is to flatten the flatten the pages, which converts the comment annotation appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with the following JavaScript statement executed in the interactive JavaScript console (command+J):
// Flatten all pages
flattenPages()
Even better is the following JavaScript-based utility: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
java -version
(don't get creative and type anything else)
The latest version is 1.6.0_65.

I don't believe it's available from Apple High St stores any more. Some independents may still have a copy or two.

I'm having trouble launching Acrobat Pro 11 on my Mac

I'm having trouble launching Acrobat Pro 11 on my Mac after I install it. I'm running OS 10.6 and have been successful in downloading Acrobat, but as soon as I launch it, it crashes. I'm getting the problem report "Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000." Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Kleinw,
Are you still facing this issue.
Please follow below mentioned steps:
