Can't launch Acrobat 9 - HELP!

Can anyone help:
I have just installed a legal, purchased copy of Acrobat 9 Standard, but after I accept the user agreement, the program shuts down... no error messages or anything.
Here is my history:
I initially downloaded the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro, but I had the same problem.  I uninstalled and tried again.  Same result.
I got the Acrobat DVD with license and installed it... same result.
I uninstalled and ran ccleaner to clean the registry.  I also manually removed a few Adobe Acrobat entries from the registry.
I reinstalled from the Acrobat DVD... same result.
Any thoughts on what is keeping me from launching this product?  I have spent way too much time for what should be a simple task.
Many thanks!

    Hey Albert,
    Could you please tell me which Acrobat and OS version are you using?
    Have you tried signing in with a different web browser?

  • I can't launch Acrobat Pro 9.0 (OS 10.6.4).  Need Help.

    Hi:
    1.  I have acrobat pro 9.0 ( I haven't updated it) and it was working fine until several days ago, when I updated the OS to the current 10.6.4.   Prior to that, it was working fine with the prior version of snow leopard etc...
    2.  Now, when I try to launch acrobat pro, I just get this message saying that acrobat quit unexpectedly.    I figured that I needed to update acrobat pro, I downloaded the current update, but when I go to update the original application, I can't do it because the icon for acrobat pro is greyed out (hopefully this makes sense).     Furthermore, I can't update acrobat pro by launching the application and having the software updater figure out what is needed... because I can't launch the program in the first place.
    3.  Does anyone know what in the world is going on?   From all of the variables, it's obvious that there's some issue with acrobat pro 9.0 and OS 10.6.4, but I can't figure out how to update the acrobat pro 9.0. 
    Any thoughts / help, much appreciated.  Harry

    Since you have already downloaded all the patches starting from 9.1 to 9.3.4, i would sugg
    est a little longer route but this might solve your problem.
    1. Create a new admin account say admin1
    2. Log out from the current admin account and login as admin1(the new admin account)
    3. Now update Acrobat 9.0 to 9.3.4
    4. Now if you want you can logout and login into the original admin.
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • Can't Launch Acrobat 10.1.10 on Windows 7

    I have tried to repair the installation and that has not worked, I can't seem to open the application whatsoever. Even after a clean install it doesn't work.
    Please help...

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    I have tried using the Desktop shortcut and the main application in the start menu, Also when trying to open PDF files it won't work.
    I did install with administrator rights, the antivirus shouldn't be an issue as colleagues of mine do not have this issue.
    Any suggestions?

  • I can't launch Acrobat XI. I downloaded it and a mandatory update gets an error message: Error 16820. Any suggestions?

    I am very frustrated that after downloading Acrobat XI I can't use it. I get a message that I must install a mandatory update but the update won't download. I get an error message: Error 16820.
    Any suggestions?@

    I think this is a mandatory update for something which (confusingly) is nothing to do with Acrobat XI. See Mandadory update 2.3.0.0 gets error 16820

  • Acrobat help keeps printing in A3, not A4

    I can't get acrobat help pages to print in A4 they keep priting in A3, despite my settings being A4 - any solutions?

    Hi Ranjith,
    apart from all the settings in SAP, u have to make adjustments even in the printer to print it differently..for eg, u may have to pass A3 size paper in the same tray wher u put A4 so that the print comes properly..or else use separate trays for both n make settings such that for ur A3 size spool output it selects that particular tray...
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,

  • How do I get Acrobat Reader to work with Firefox again? I'ver tried everything that I can find in the Help area.

    A while back now I lost use of Acrobat Reader's loading feature while in Firefox. I have tried all of the suggestions that I can find in the Help Menu, on blogs, etcetera, and nothing has worked to re-enable it. The Acrobat Reader seems to work fine from all other browsers, and from the Start Menu. I just can't get it to work with Mozilla.

    I solved this problem by looking at the plug-ins I had in 5.0 and found that I had two versions of Adobe - a V8 and a V10 enabled. I disabled the V8 and it all works fine now.

  • Hey. I have a problem. I updated my mac os x to 10:8 for I can not start Acrobat Pro, which I bought six months ago. Proglamet says that the computer does not support Power PC. Help

    Hey. I have a problem. I updated my mac os x to 10:8 for I can not start Acrobat Pro, which I bought six months ago.
    Proglamet says that the computer does not support Power PC. Help
    When I try to start it says (program "Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional.app" can not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.)
    Please help

    The version of Acrobat you have is a PowerPC application and will not run on Mountain Lion.  You will need to upgrade/purchase an Intel version of Acrobat Pro, probably Version 9.
    It might have been worth checking to see if the apps you run are supported on ML before upgrading.  If you backed up your system before the upgrade you could always revert to your previous level.

  • I can't launch Indesign CC! Help!

    hi, I can't launch Adobe INdesign CC at the moment. When I try to, I get asked if I want to do recovery for a file and whatever I chose it to do (Cancel/No/Yes) the software crashes and I can't launch, then if I try again the same thing happens. I need to complete this work for a client and then I am working for another client for a week...I need the software now!
    Thanks.

    It seems last time when you working with document, InDesign accidently crashed or closed.
    At this time InDesign perform protective shutdown in order to dump recovery of the working document and very next launch
    of InDesign , it will prompt for auto recovery and it will crash InDesign in process of auto-recovery if the document got damaged completely.
    Rename the SaveData directory in order to avoid this prompt.
    InDesign SavedData
    Mac OS
    Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version [version]/InDesign SavedData

  • Launching PDF in Firefox yeilds "Could not launch Acrobat.".

    I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.6 with Acrobat Reader 8.1.1. When I click on a PDF on a web page I get the error "Could not launch Acrobat.".
    The file "nppdf32.dll" is in the Firefox plugins folder.
    If I double-click a PDF file on my hard drive, Acrobat launches fine.

    >>Under Tools->Options->Applications, I have nothing for "Adobe" in my content Type. Any ideas how to get it to populate in there?
    Assuming you have acrobat installed, this worked for me:
    1. start acrobat (for me this was Acrobat Reader 8 )
    2. help -> repair acrobat reader installation
    3. stop and restart firefox
    now I have entries for pdf and everything works again
    [for me, this problem was apparently caused by installing a program that *took the liberty* of installing an ancient version of Acrobat even though I already had 8 installed. After that happened, Firefox refused to open pdf files. I uninstalled the ancient version of acrobat, rebooted etc. etc. to no avail, then found this thread, and looked in Tools->Options->Applications to find nothing for "Adobe"]
