Cannot open acrobat 8

I have loaded acrobat 8 from adobe suite 3 and it is opening but after 5-10 seconds a error saying 'Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.' I have also opened photoshop and it is opening nicely and i have tried to open acrobat 8 after opening photoshop but the problem is same. Help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Not sure. This is an activation issue as I recall, but there are some strange things that happen with the Creative Suite that appears to be what you have. Some of the others that have had the problem will hopefully be by. In the meantime, do a search of the forum for CS or such.

Cannot open Acrobat 6 *crash upon start up*

I cannot open Adobe Acrobat 6.02 Professional on an iMac G5 running OSX. Every time I attempt to open it, it crashes. This problem began out of the blue. Acrobat 6.02 Professional runs fine on an Apple Powerbook G4 laptop running OSX. I deleted the Acrobat 6 on the iMac and copied the version from the laptop to it, and it also crashes continually. I have rebooted the computer several times and run the Disk Utility to Repair file permissions. I am not having any other problems with this computer. Thanks for the advice.

Acrobat 6 is so many versions back I can't recall how it was originally installed. I suspect that the problem may be just copying application isn't copying all the hidden support files which Acrobat puts in different locations. I'd reinstall it from the original install disk.

Cannot open Acrobat 6 Pro after opening Reader 8 and viceversa

There is a compatibility issue between Acrord32.exe and Acrobat.exe files?
My Acrobat 6 Professional does not open while viewing a PDF in Reader 8, get a empty Reader 8 window instead of Acrobat 6.
When trying the opposite, the Reader 8 shows the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again."
Operating system is Windows XP Professional and browser is Internet Explorer 7.

Reader leaves a resident part running, even after you close it. To open Acrobat, you must first shut down the resident part from the task list.

Cannot open Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0)

Everytime I attempt to open Acrobat Reader on my PC, I get the Windows Error box asking if I want to tell Microsoft about the problem. This has only started happening since installing Reader X (10.1.0).
I have attempted to repair the installation.
I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall.
I have verified the registry was cleaned.
I am running Windows XP SP3.
Any help would be appreciated. In the meantime, I am looking for an installation package for Acrobat Reader 9.

Can you post a screenshot of the crash dialog that you see? Also, is there anything specific about your system - virus scanner, accessibility tool that you use, etc?
You can download older versions of Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

Cannot open Acrobat XI due to error 213:5

I have followed the directions at the website for checking permissions on two Adobe folders
and these are set up correctly.
I have downloaded the 3 updates for Acrobat XI
I have rebooted 3 time and still cannot access Acrobat XI
I am on Mac 10.7
Now what?

Hi,
This could be because of permission issues.
Can you please navigate to the location : --
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
Rename the Folder -- "SLStore"
and Relaunch the Acrobat and see if that works.
Although this is a different error, but you can try the patch for fixing licensing shared here -- http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-213-19-licensing-acrobat.html
Thanks,

Cannot open Acrobat

Within a web browser, I can access PDFs and open them, but to try and open Acrobat nothing comes up. It just sits on my bottom bar. Task Manager says it's running, but I can't interact with it apart from closing it down. I updated to 10 to try and fix the issue without success. Any help with this would be great, as it greatly hinders my ability to check my work once saved.
I run Windows 7 on a Samsung laptop. I can provide specifics if necessary.
Oh, I should mention. Up until sometime this summer (when I wasn't using it, of course), Acrobat opened fine. Apoligies if this was posted to the wrong section; I guessed.

Hi KrisleyAshten,
Please let us know is this Adobe reader that you are experiencing problem with or it is Adobe professional.
What is the exact version that is currently installed on the machine. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall.

Cannot Open Acrobat XI PDF files

I installed Acrobat XI on a Windows 7 Pro computer.
I can create PDF files on that computer as well as view/edit the files. When I send the files to another computer, I receive an error message 'file is damaged and cannot be opened'
This has occurred on about ten different test files.
I have sent test files to four other computers using different OS's and all have the same error message.
Any thoughts as to the issue?

I used MS Remote Desktop to log into the server which created the pdf document.
I copied and pasted the PDF file to my local computer. From there, I emailed the document out to other computers.
So, my local computer and four other computers get a 'damaged file' message
I have one person report to me that he could open and view the PDF file when using Cloud-based MS Outlook.
But, he cannot view the file on a local computer.
We have tried various readers including: Adobe XI reader, Firefox and a few others.

Cannot open Acrobat 9.0 if RoboHelp 7 is open

If I am running RoboHelp 7 and I attempt to start Acrobat 9.0, Acrobat does not open. The same problem occurs if I'm running RoboHelp 7 and click a PDF to try to open it. Nothing happens. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution?

Did you download, install, and run the Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove Acrobat? I assume that is NOT what you say in the "Windows Installer Cleanup script?"

Cannot Open Acrobat Reader

I have Reader version 8.1.2, which I use on Windows XP Pro. Most of the time when I try to open a download I get the message "Error Opening this document. This file cannot be found".
This is so frustrating because I have to look at lots of PDF files. Occasionally it opens, but reverts to the error message on the subsequent times.
Does anybody have a solution for this.

Thank you for that tip. When I download attachments from an email and it does that error, I can retrieve the downloaded PDF by going into My Documents. The problem comes when I am obtaining quotes or other information directly from a website, because they are not saved anywhere. If I could open them, I could then save them or print them off, but in this case I cannot even see them.

Safari cannot open acrobat files

How do I fix 6.0.3 to read Acrobat files.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

CS6 suite - cannot open acrobat to activate it.

I have the CS5.5 suite and the CS6 Suite.
I upgraded from CS5.5 learning edition to CS6 Pro.
Now I am trying to print things to a pdf but although everything else is registered - Acrobat keeps saying it is not activated.
I went into the AAcrobat folder and tried to run the Acrobat.exe but it just does not open.
How can I open it to activate if it will not open..
Thanks in advance
Terry

Not sure. This is an activation issue as I recall, but there are some strange things that happen with the Creative Suite that appears to be what you have. Some of the others that have had the problem will hopefully be by. In the meantime, do a search of the forum for CS or such.

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.
