Can't open Acrobat 9 Pro or Distiller after installation

All seemed fine:
Installation by Drag and Drop, done
Entering the Product key, Done
Entering Registration Informations, Done
But since that Acrobat 9 Pro does nothing. I only see the "buisy" mouse pointer, which is the turning watch, but Acrobat does not respond anymore, but takes about 60% of CPU.
In Finder I get the information message, that the programm does not respond anymore, so I only can kill that process...
Same with Adobe Distiller....
Any guess? THX
MacBook Black, 2,1 GHz, 2GB Ram and runnig Mac OS 10.5.6

Well,
it wasn't a permission, it wasn't administrator... it simply was the company proxy server.
After installation, Acrobat allways wants to send the registration form by HTTP to Adobe.
Now the problem is, that our Proxy needs an authentification. Acrobat uses the entry in the keychain, but still cannont connect the port of Adobe, because this port ssems to be shut by our company system.
So I disabled all network ports on the system preferences, and restarted acrobat again. Now Adobe claims, that it is unable to send the registration, because of missing an active internet connection and want's a user choice, for send now, send later or cancel. I choosed send later and acrobat start up without any problems later.
Now I was going to the help menue, and disabled the automatical update process and automatical registration process.
Now Acrobat runs like a charm....

  • Can't Open Acrobat Pro XI after scanning documents

    I recently installed Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 system. Upon start-up, Acrobat Pro XI opens and closes fine.  However, when I use my Fujitsu scanner without having an Acrobat document open, I am no longer able to open Acrobat. The scanner will create the PDF document, but the PDF document will not open up or appear on my screen immediately following the scan. Instead, I get periodic pop-up messages stating "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server." I can open PDF documents with  Nitro PDF Creater after this occurs, but not with Acrobat Pro XI. The only way that I can correct the problem is to restart my computer. Following the restart, Acrobat Pro XI will open again. However, I must have Acrobat open again before I use my Fujitsu scanner or the problem will reappear.  Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

    I have read about the DDE server issue in other posts so you might search for it. I think there may be a knowledgebase article about it.
    When this problem occurs, open the tasks list (ctrl-alt-del>tasks) and be sure there is not residual of Acrobat sitting around. That may be what has happened, or maybe some other application is lingering there. Be aware that a few tasks like AcroTray should be running as they enable the PDF creation process.

  • Can't open Acrobat Pro 9 with Photoshop cs5 open

    For some reason I can't open pdf files or even the Acrobat application while photoshop cs5 is open.  As soon as I shut it down I can open the file no problems.  I'm assuming it has something to do with how much memory photoshop is using, but I've never had this problem before with any previous versions.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    I've noticed two ways it misfunctions
    1) Photoshop is open
    2) I try to open acrobat by either using the quick launch icon that has always worked in the past, or by opening a pdf file either in a folder or as a link on the web.  It will not open and offers no error message.  It merely 'dings' at me like when you try to click on something in a doc when you've got another window open and u need to press ok or cancel before you can do anything else.
    or
    1) I've already got acrobat open
    2) I open photoshop ok
    3) I go back to acrobat and try to do something like print and the program crashes and shuts down... no error message.
    Opening at the original exe doesn't change anything.  Acrobat works fine when photoshop isn't open.

  • Can't open acrobat Pro

    I have a new subscription account and have had no problems with Illustrator and Photoshop but when I tried to launch Acrobat it closes down and pops up a user agreement window that is blank and can't be gotten past.
    Can you give me a clue for how to fix this problem. I'd like to be able to open acrobat.

    Are you subscribed to the Creative Cloud?  If so please try the steps listed in Blank EULA screen appears on Acrobat XI launch - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html.

  • I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents.

    I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents. All other CS6 applications are available. The icon for Acrobat just shows the internet explorer icon.

    There is a special procedure for Acrobat as part of CS. It goes something like opening one of the other applications and activating, then opening Acrobat (I think the others need to stay open) and activating it. It seems like a strange procedure and is likely documented in your info -- but I can't say for sure.

  • Reinstall Acrobrat Pro X. Can't reinstall Acrobat Pro X after computer crash

    I am trying to reinstall Acrobat Pro X after a compter crash. I enter the correct serial number but then get asked to select a prior product, in my case Acrobat Pro 9, and enter the serial number (this is the number that appears in my account), but there is nowhere to enter the serial number. And if I try to reinstall Pro 9 it won't let me. Do I have to deinstall Pro X first, or what? ALl input welcomed, thanks. Shanter

    Thanks Bill, that seems to have done the trick. I am now successfully
    reinstalling Pro X.

  • "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.

    "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.  I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem.  Can anyone provide some insights?

    Thanks Bill.  After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday.  I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    My problem was solved after the first step.  THANK YOU.  Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 Crashes after 7 seconds.

    Does anyone know which of these updates causes Acrobat Pro 8 Crashes after 7 seconds.
    My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1:
    Thank you.
    Harry.

    AA8 is not certified for Win7, and particularly the 64-bit version. Several folks have been successful on the install on 32-bit systems. I have heard of 2 folks who claimed success on the 64-bit system. To have a change, first check to be sure you have Acrobat, Distiller, and the Adobe PDF printer on your system. Since Acrobat is not opening, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and download the updates (start with the latest and work backwards. Each update screen will tell you the previous one needed for the update (you may be able to skip 2 or so). Once done start the updates from the bottom up. You should do the updates through 8.3.1. Generally speaking you only need to do a reboot after the final update installed, not for all the updates.
    The updates are definitely required for the 64-bit system and may be the issue you are having. There is no way to be sure if the install will work, only the comments by others that have tried.
    During the installs and updates, be sure you are logged in as the adminstrator and have anti-virus disabled.

  • I can't activate Acrobat Pro license

    Hello
    after the inconveniences and the impossibility to connect and sync my documents with Creative Cloud Connection, now it is the turn of Acrobat Pro to giving me trouble.
    I can't activate Acrobat Pro license, so I can't use it.
    After launching Acrobat Pro, a blank page that should contain the license agreement appears, but the button for accepting the license doesn't work. I have deinstalled and reinstalled several times the application without success.
    Thank you to explain me how to resolve this problem.

  • Can I slipstream Acrobat Pro?

    I want to slipstream Acrobat Pro 9.0 to 9.4.2?  Is it possible and if so what patches do I need and what is the process?
    Thanks for any and all help!

    PFB the steps:
    1. Copy the Acrobat Pro 9.0 msi installer to your machine.
    2. Create a distribution point (a folder where the installer can install the uncompressed program files).
    3. Click Start, click Run, and then enter the following command:
    msiexec /a <path of Acrobat 9.0 msi>
    4. When you receive a prompt asking where to install the files, browse to the distribution point you created in step 2.
    5. Click OK. When the installer finishes, all files will be at the distribution point.
    Also Acrobat 9.0 msi should be there at the distribution point.(This msi is used in step 7 below)
    To add patches to the administrative installation:
    6. Copy the Acrobat msp(9.1.0 ,9.1.2 , 9.2.0 ,9.3.0, 9.3.2 ,9.3.3 ,9.4.0 , 9.4.2 patch on your machine.
    7. Click Start, then click Run, and then type CMD.
    At the command prompt, type the following:
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.1.0 msp>
    after that apply patch ONE  BY ONE
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.1.2 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.2.0 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.3.0 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.3.3 msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.4.0msp>
    msiexec /a <path of msi at distribution point> /p <path of Acrobat 9.4.2msp>
    After installation is successful you can copy this folder (distribution point) to any server and deploy it
    OR
    manually also you can install Acrobat 9.4.2 by running the msi at the distribution point.

  • I upgraded laptop to Windows 8.1, but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears.  I must restart PC.

    Hi there,
    This is exactly what it says in the title.
    I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 (from W7), but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears.  I must restart PC in order to get the taskbar back.
    Has anyone come across this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi Paul ,
    I would like to know does this happen in case of Acrobat only or while accessing any other applications as well ?
    Are you able to see the taskbar before you access any application?Or it just disappears when you launch Acrobat?
    You can try repairing Acrobat once and see if that fixes the issue.
    If that does not work ,you can try uninstalling Acrobat once and install it again.
    Please refer to the following as well and see if that helps.
    Regards

    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.
