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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't open premiere pro cc after download

    Hi
    Before my trial version of premiere pro ended, I've paid for an account for one year. But when I open the application, it starts the (now expired) trial version and asks for a serial number which I did't receive.
    I tried a new download of premiere pro cc in Dutch instead of English, but in my applications folder (mac os 10.9.2) there's premiere pro cc starting the expired trial version again.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

    Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide

  • "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.

  • 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.

    Hello Nelson,
    Please make sure that Acrobat is updated to its latest version i.e. 11.0.07.
    You can download the update from following link:

  • 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

  • Can't open Acrobat 6.0

    I can't open Acrobat 6.0. When I try to, I see the splash screen, but it never opens. (This started when I was scanning pictures to a file. I was able to scan the pictures, but Acrobat never opened.) I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 6.0. I updated to Acrobat 6.0.6. I tried the repair option in Add/Remove Programs. Is there anything else I can do?

    What operating system? As I understand what you are saying, it worked fine until the scan and it has not worked since, or have you made some major systems changes since the scan?

    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.
