Can't reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 as part of Creative Suite 4 on Mac OS

I had to reinstall my creative suite 4 design premium because of glitches. I worked with Adobe customer support, clearing out all the trace files so I could reinstall correctly, but when all the reinstalling had happened (and I had hung up with the support) I realised my Adobe Acrobat did not install. When I tried to install it again, I got a message saying it was already installed. Any ideas of what I can do to make sure the Acrobat is fully uninstalled so I can install it??
Thanks!

  • Can't reinstall Adobe Acrobat from my Design Standard 5.5

    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat from by computer, it was part of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard. When I tried to reinstall Acrobat from the disk, it says my serial number is invalid, which it isn't. I tried live chat with Adobe but they were unable to help me. I use Acrobat for work and school so I really need to get this resolved.

    Yes, and there is just one disk. I have tried deactivating Photoshop so it will let me license the product again, but I can’t deactivate. I’ve also tried un-installing the entire suite and then re-installing, but I am unable to uninstall.

  • Can i reinstall adobe acrobat on another system?

    I want to buy adobe acrobat reader and want to know few things
    1. can I reinstall the adobe acrobat on a new system which I intend to buy in near future ( if yes how many times I can do this)
    2. can I save the download version of the acrobat reader for future use

    Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat are two different programs. The first id free, the second isn't. If you buy the non-CC cversion of Acrobat, you can have it installed in two computers provided you don't use it both copies at the same time. Also, you can uninstall and reinstall it as you please, provided that you properly unistall it from one computer before installing it on another. I am not clear what the situation is with the CC version.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection?

    Hello
    I have one question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I donwloaded Creative Suite 5 Master Collection Trial version and after check installer there is't  Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Why  Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro are't in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection? Becouse it's trial version or another reason?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The trial CS5 will only have the "new" applications.
    Acrobat 9, not be "new", won't be in the trial.
    Should you purchase CS5, Acrobat 9 Pro will be on the install media.
    If you download, there will be two items to obtain.
    --| CS5 suite selected/purchased
    --| Acrobat 9 Pro

  • Can I change Adobe ID of a CS6 creative suite installation, after it's been installed?

    Can I change the Adobe ID which was used to install CS6 creative suite, after it's been installed? One of the students has used his own adobe ID for an installation (licence for 20 users)  and I would like to have them registered only under the admin's Adobe ID so need to reverse the association of his personal ID with his CS6 installation?
    Thanks!

    No if you wish to change the association/registration of Creative Suite 6 you will need to contact our support team as indicated by Mylenium in message #1.

  • How can i download adobe acrobat pro software? i changed from mac to win pc and i only have a mac cd

    Serial numbers for standalone products are platform specific. You will have to run this:

    Otherwise you may have to buy an upgrade and make the platform switch.

    What is the latest version of distiller.
    Where can i find more informaiton just on distiller?
    Thanks,

    There are many different Acrobat-related products.
    Acrobat Standard
    Acrobat Pro
    Adobe Reader
    LiveCycle (actually this is another separate enterprise oriented Acrobat family of products.
    Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro will each install several software programs on your computer. One of which is Acrobat Distiller. Acrobat Distiller is a program that is used to convert postscript files into pdf files. Acrobat Distiller used to be the only way to create postscript files. Now many users never use Distiller to create pdf files, hence its prominence is deminished.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Will uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 affect PDFs already created?

    I am receiving a message that I must uninstall then reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to fix a problem. Operating system. Windows 7.  Problem on laptop only.  No problem on desktop.  Error message says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working.  You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help. (148:3)"  If I uninstall / reinstall will this affect the PDFs already created in My Docs?  Is there another way?  

    The process with not affect the PDFs, but I would be concerned about registration and such. If you uninstall without deactivating, you may lose the second install option and have to call Adobe to reset. I would try a repair first and see if that helps. The repair can be done from Control Panel>Programs & Preferences (since you apparently cannot open Acrobat).
    If you do uninstall, do the following before reinstalling: run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. If Acrobat is part of a CS installation, you may need to check there (CS forum) for the proper way to reinstall.
    If you have an upgrade, then be sure to have the SN of the previous product available.

  • How do I reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Maybe an Adobe employee will come along with a better solution

  • Accidentally deleted Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from Creative Cloud account - how to reinstall?

    I have an Adobe Creative Cloud account and it will not allow me to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI because it thinks it is updated. However, I accidentally uninstalled it, trying to prevent it from over-riding an older Adobe Acrobat install I had. I now need to reinstall it.
    How can I get the Adobe updated to recognize that Adobe Acrobat is not installed? I've had it recheck several times over the last 2 months.
    The Adobe site will not download it, even though I select the "download" button, nor will the Creative Cloud account installer.

    Shut down Acrobat and any Creative Cloud application before doing this procedure.
    1    Rename caps folder.
              a.  Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
              b.  In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path:  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
              c.  Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. OLD_caps):
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    2    Install Acrobat from within the Creative Cloud application.
    3    Rename new caps folder.
              a.  Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
              b.  In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path:  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
              c.  Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. NEW_caps):
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    4 Rename the OLD_caps folder back to "caps"
    5 Now you should be good.
    *Note:  The "caps" folder contains the files that the Creative Cloud application reads to show what IS and IS NOT installed.

  • Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

    Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

    1. Re: Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan
    Anubha Goel
    I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.

  • How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old PC to my New PC?

    How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

    You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.
