Can Acrobat Pro 6.0 be updated to work with Windows 7?

Hello everyone - I have software that I have been using for years.  I like it and it is really all I need.  My old computer finally crashed completely and I would like to use Acrobat Pro 6.0 on my Windows 7 machine.  Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.  I really do not want to spend $400.00 on new software if it can be avoided...
All the best...

I would suggest an update, but I do not think that AA6 qualifies (need at least AA7). A big question is if it is a 32 or 64-bit system? For a 32-bit system there is some hope, though you may have to deal with some work arounds. Typically, AcroTray that automates the PDF creation may not work in Win7 (it does not for the AA5 I installed on Win7). If that is the case, you will have to change the printer port to file rather than Adobe PDF. Then you will be printing to file and have to open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion. You may be able to set up a watched folder in Distiller to automate the process a bit. Whatever you do, it will be trail and error and do expect some things to not work.
So the answer is to first install it and see if Acrobat runs at all and if the Adobe PDF printer is installed. If so, then try to print. If it locks up, then try printing to file and open the file in Distiller. If that works, then my suggestions may do the job for you. I was able to get AA5 to work on my 32-bit netbook with Win7 starter this way. Not that clean, but it works. I primarily did it as an experiment, but for you it is a bit more.

  • Have acrobat 6.1 and have updated new computer with windows 8  get compatibility issue message

    have acrobat version 6.1 bought a new computer with windows 8.  tried to install but got message there are compatibility issues.  Noticed when I push print option dont get the adobe option.

    You can try the compatibility setting, but another issue may be if you have a x64 system. AA6 was never designed to work in a 64-bit environment, giving a second level of compatibility to consider. Even on Win7, there were operational issues (like AcroTray not working) and Win8 should just be more of the same and maybe worse. If you can succeed in getting it installed in a compatibility mode, we might then discuss the workarounds you will need. I would strongly recommend you upgrade (well purchase -- too late for the upgrade) to AA XI.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code  what can I do?

    Hi,
    I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code . What can I do? I purchased CS5.1

    You can get the updates for the MAC from Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh, but apparently you already found that. Two possibilities that I can think of: 1. You have anti-virus enabled and that is causing the failure or 2. You are trying to install an update and skipped ones before it. If you start with the latest update, the download indicates the previous version required for the update. It looks like 10.1.12 can install over any previous version, so I would go for broke and install the latest.

    After you remove acrobat, Try booting your mahcine in Safe Boot mode first and then enable the root user and try to install Acrobat 9 followed by its updates.
    Start in Safe Boot mode | Mac OS X : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/start-safe-boot-mode-mac.html

  • I HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO ACROBAT PRO, BUT CANNOT GET IT TO WORK ON MY PC AFTER THE DOWNLOAD

    i HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO ACROBAT PRO, BUT CANNOT GET IT TO WORK ON MY PC AFTER THE DOWNLOAD

    Windows 7 operating system....constantly pops up with a window that says I am not on the internet and can't register my product....obviously I am on the internet at this moment because I am posting on an online forum.   I downloaded the software four times now, after uninstalling it three times.  I downloaded XI Pro. 

  • Will Acrobat Pro 7 Work with Windows 7?    It did NOT with Vista.

    I create fillable forms using Pro and have never had any problem getting Acrobat Pro to install the PDF driver with Windows 6 or XP. 
    However, I have tried every "solution" offered by Adobe to get the driver to install on my new notebook which runs on Vista.  I have also downloaded and installed both Vista service packs.  The driver still will not install,
    Without the converter driver, I cannot do a substantial portion of my work on the new computer. 
    I was going to upgrade to Acrobat Pro 8 but found out from other irritated users that Pro 8 also failed to install the driver using Vista.
       Am I the only customer who thinks there is really shoddy support from Adobe on this issue?
    I am willing to upgrade to Windows 7.  However, if Pro fails to work with Windows 7 like it did with Vista then the upgrade would be another waste of my money.  If we cannot depend on Acrobat Pro to work on the Windows platform, my company (5000+ employees) is going to have to find other software.
    Has anyone had success getting Acrobat Pro (7, 8, OR 9) to install the PDF converter driver with Windows 7 ?
    Thanks!

    What is the "method" to get around issues with Windows 7 64bit?  My XP machine failed and I've bought a new one running Windows 7 64bit.  I'm trying to get a credit card statement, but I can't read it because the  downloaded Acrobat 9 I'm trying to install - won't install. Something about it not being "compatible" with Windows Vista and 7 operating 64bit.  How long has Vista been around?? - at least a couple years. Why hasn't Acrobat been able to get "compatable" in all this time??  Right now it seems I'm screwed because I unknowiing bought a 64bit machine.
    I've been told at work that the answer is to get some sort of similated 32bit operation going that Acrobat can handle. Can you please tell me how to do that? I'd really appreciate your help.

  • Can I still download Adobe 9 Pro Extended and will it work with Windows 8 64 bit?

    Can I still download Adobe 9 Pro Extended and will it work with Windows 8 64 bit?

    It is not clear what application you mean when you say Adobe 9 Pro Extended, so it ois not certain if it is available for you to download.  If you can diownload it, it will only be valid for a 30 day trial unless you already own it and have a serial number to activate the trial with.
    You can search the following site and see if you can find the trial version to download... this site is the only likely place you might find the software available for download.
    If you find it there, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

    Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.
