Cannot "repair" Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.0

I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.0, and MS Office 2004. When I open Acrobat, it asked me if I want to repair the installation. Yes, I do, so I select the PDFMaker Toolbar for Office, Adobe PDF Printr, and Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin.
At this point, neither Safari nor MS Office (any of the associated applications) are open. However, when I click "continue" I get a screen telling me to close down Safari and Microsoft Applications (but they are not running, or are they?).
Does the problem lie with me, Adobe, MS, or Leopard?

Without seeing the actual text of the message, it's hard to tell what the problem might be. Are you sure it isn't telling you to close them down if they're running?
As for Adobe Acrobat, what did you do to it after you installed it? You changed or deleted something, which is why it's asking you if you want to repair it. Adobe is known for making no details available about moving or deleting things that may affect their applications' ability to be 'repaired' or updated in the future.

  • Cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP

    Good day,
    I cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on my windows XP machine with SP2 and the latest updates.
    The error says that the software cannot be installed on the Operating system, please see minimum requirements. I meet all these but cannot install
    I saw a similar question posted on the forums but it is unanswered.
    Please assist me.

    Hi,
    This link has the minimum system requirements for Acrobat 10 Pro : Acrobat X Pro Tech Specs
    On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

  • Cannot Install Adobe Acrobat Pro via Adobe Download Assistant - Please Help

    Hi Guys,
    Please can you help I am trying to download the adobe acrobat pro trial via the adobe download assistant but cannot get the download to complete successfully.
    Everytime I try and  download the file it freezes when almost totally downloaded (less than a minute remaining) and eventually returns an error saying:
    Error extracting teh product installer (Error 101). Check for available disk space on your system and try downloading the product again. I am trying to install to the desktop on a drive with 600GB free!!
    Please help, I have downloaded the ADA through google chrome on a machine with windows 7 (64bit)
    Thanks
    Mike

    Try this:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Though if the extraction fails, you may face that same issue again. Store the fiel in a different location and do a littel housekeeping. You could well simply be running out of temp space or have a permissions problem on your temp folder...

  • Cannot open Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows Vista

    I can no longer open my Adobe or use it in any way.
    All of my other CS4 programs operate fine, and this is not a licensing issue.
    A little Microsoft Window pops up and says that Adobe Acrobat 9.1 has stopped working.
    It will shut down and contact me when the issue is resolved.
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your help. AA9 would not open at any time for any thing; when
    I tried to open a PDF file, when I tried to create a PDF file with word or
    excel or when I tried to open the icon on my desktop.
    I took your advise and cleaned my registry and reinstalled. I also made
    Adobe Reader 9 my default PDF reader. However, although I can create PDFs
    from word or excel (with it still stopping as soon as the document has been
    converted), I still cannot open AA9 to create a new portfolio or add to an
    existing or open the icon on my desktop. I have tried to repair the
    application but with the same results.
    Any ideas? And thanks again for your help.

  • I cannot install Adobe Acrobat pro on my mac running Yosemite.  Why?

    I was able to install Acrobat Reader, but when I tried to upgrade to Acrobat Pro on my mac, the Acrobat intaller just hangs there indefinitely.  I am running Yosemite.  What is the deal?

    Hi kctfsu,
    We would require the install logs to analyse the failue cause.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • I cannot open Adobe Acrobat Pro.  There is a pink "X" on the Uninstaller.  I don't know how to cancel UNINSTALL, if that is the problem.

    I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.5  

    For general browsing on an older powerPC Mac, you'd need to get a supported browser, one that sees current or recent updates for security reasons; so that is one thing. You could get and install anything from the internet.
    But you probably do not have a virus.
    tech guides
    http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
    adware removal guide
    http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
    A good browser for a powerPC computer running up to 10.5.8, is TenFourFox. Or iCab. Or SeaMonkeyPPC. With some of these you can set up an email account, & those may be more secure than older Mac Mail. You can also be sure the settings in a browser or email client application do not automatically open attachments or downloads, until you determine what they are through investigation.
    If you got an idea to download free applications from untrustworthy sites, or wanted to clean up your mac, etc using some dubious software, then an 'adware' may be installed. Some kinds of items you may seek to download or that were attachments on an email, can be dealt with in several ways. Safe browsing, near paranoid use of email, and if you use a web-based email, use a secure browser to visit it, login online, and do not have unnecessary cookies or features set in the browser.
    What OS X version does your PowerBook have running?
    What are you using for a web browser? Safari is unsupported.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro due to Windows 8 malfunction with starting up. I am trying to reinstall as I am an owner of the Creative Suite CS6 and I cannot access my serial number. I purchased the software in 2013 and never registered i, apparently. When directed on Adobe's site to access the serial number, it takes me to an outside 3rd party site, which I tried but it does not actually work. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey beccac85068042,
    Adobe will provide you the serial number only if you are a registered user.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

    Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

    The File
    (1) The file has to be a PDF.
    (2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
    Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
    (& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
    The application.
    Consider a cold reboot.
    Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
    Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
    Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
    If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi jtento ,
    Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user

  • I cannot see certain colors/photos/boxes in Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.  Can in Reader, and in Acrobat Standard 11

    I have a customer who uses Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.  When she receives PDFs, she cannot see the color green, certain boxes(most of the ones she cannot see all have green in them),and pictures.  When I opened this same PDF document in Adobe Reader 11, Adobe Acrobat Standard 11, and Fox it reader, I could see everything as normal.  Her version of Acrobat is up to date.  I posted this Acrobat installations & Update Issues, not sure if correct or not.  She has Windows 7 Professional 64x
    Thank you.

    Hey mmartinez,
    Please let me know what is the OS version on the system being used by your customer?
    Have you tried sending any other PDF files to her? Has she started facing this issue after updating Acrobat?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
