Cannot "save as" Acrobat 9 Professional

error message: "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (14)."
os xp professional - please help.

I mark this as an assumed answer by mistake.  Still looking for an answer.  I do not wish to install two versions of Acrobat.  (This will be my last resort, if I don't have any other options)  I try it also with Acrobat X professional and it seems that it automatically saves it to a newer version.  So any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - will not uninstall

    I tried to install this program with Windows 7, 64-bit numerous times and it would not work 100%.  I even downloaded the "patch" file for windows 7, but the program would freeze every single time I opened it.  I have since reverted back to just using Adobe reader, but CANNOT uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.  The uninstall completely freezes about 60-65% of the way through, and I just end up closing it down.  However, I cannot install any new software on my computer because the installer application keeps saying that another program is being installed (Adobe) when in actuallity it is NOT!
    Pleeease provide any help as to how I can uninstall this program.  The program is still listed when I got to the control panel and uninstall a program.  I have tried Modify, Repair, & Remove all unsuccessfully.  I have deleted all files from the C: drive except the "Resource" folder, which I keep getting Folder Access Denied and that I "require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder."  Well, I am the administrator and the ONLY user on my computer, so I don't know what that is all about.  I am beyond frustration with this, the microsoft forum told me to check here for assistance.

    Hi meanwire,
    I had a similar problem .
    Here is the solution that worled for me. try it out:
    1. Install Acrobat 8.0  (which i think you have already done)
    2. Now go to the following link and download Acrobat 8.1 update
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3662
    3. Apply the downloaded 8.1 update manually
    4. Once the manual update is successful launch Acrobat and do Acrobat menu Help ->Check for updates
    Hope it works for you!!

  • Activating Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on new computer when old computer died and cannot deactivate

    My computer died with acrobat professional 8 installed. When I tried to install and activate acrobat 8 professional on my new computer, it would not activate until I deactivated the software on my old computer. My old computer is completely dead and therefore I cannot deactivate the software. Please advise me.

    Customer service is terrible. They don't give us the tools to help ourselves, so we are FORCED to call their service number. Then we get transferred 3 times, then disconnected - just to have to repeat the process again. Adobe recorded phone messages advises "due to high call volume, estimated wait time is 12 minutes". An HOUR AND A HALF later while still waiting on hold, I get disconnected.
    I've tried the customer portal. They CLOSED my case without resloving anything or even commenting!
    Where is Adobe's accountability?  They don't mind charging high prices for their products, and they certainly wouldn't accept me telling them they'll have to call my 800# and wait on hold in order to get their payment. But once we purchase their products we are a prisoner of this process. There is no web interface to deactivate products. Hard drive crashes do not permit the manual deactivation on our end.
    Adobe needs to either answer their phone without disconnecting me, answer their case number number without closing it for no reason, or give us - the customer - the tools to deactivate our own products. If activation can be done over the internet upon installation - then deactivation can't be much more difficult.
    I honestly can't imagine how it can be legal to sell a product then cripple an owner from using it.

  • Acrobat 9 Professional: changing the default save setting as version 5 and later

    The situation:  We are using Acrobat 9 Professional.  We have PDF files with version that was save as 5.0 or later.  (We need to save it as 5.0 because it allows our PDF publications to be shown on mobile devices that don't support newer versions). 
    The problem: 
    Sometimes we need to go back to our PDF to change the front cover.  However after clicking on save, Acrobat 9 reverts it to the latest version making our publications unreadable for mobile devices.
    Options we have considered: 
    Using the save as optimized feature.  This is not convenient since the file is about 2000 pages and using that feature will require it to rastersize and flattend the image on every page.  It takes too long. 
    I am currently, planning to go back to Acrobat 8 Professional, but user would like to keep both version.
    The question:  Is there another way to set Acrobat 9 to save PDF as the original version it was created (that at least doesn't take that much time)?
    Thank you in advance!

  • I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

    I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

    I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

    Hi
    So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
    I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
    But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

    Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
    Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
    Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
    I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time - why?? Pls help!

    Everytime I open a pdf I get the following message...
    "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional".
    What does this mean?
    I don't have Photoshop. Does that mean I need to get it to be able to look at pdf's?
    Is there anything I can just download without having to buy it?
    I have also just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0, if that info helps?
    Please help, I need to work on a pdf for work due tomorrow!!

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
      5.  Enter your serial number when prompted.
    Hope this one could help.

  • "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched..."

    "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component..."
    This message has been coming up each time I read a PDF page during the past couple of weeks. The FAQ says it occurs when CS3 hasn't been activated, but this isn't the case for me, as I've been running CS3 Web Premium for some time without any issues and I'm up-to-date.
    The problem isn't with PDF files stored on my PC but only with those downloaded and viewed in a browser screen (both IE and FF).
    If I load PS or any other component prior to reading the PDF I still get the message.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    (I'm running CS3 under Windows XP Pro.)

    I don't know the answer, but it sounds like you are running Creative Suite. I faintly remember hearing about this before. You might get a quick answer in the Creative Suite forum (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bbf2708/). Bill

  • Cannot view PDF files with Reader once we uninstall Acrobat X Professional

    Our office recently installed Acrobat X Professional on all of our computers. One of our groups uses Adobe Reader to view documents in a medical records system. The documents are imported into the system via an interface that converts them to PDFs. Before the installation of Acrobat X, the documents were viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told that the medical record system is not compatible with Acrobat X, but it is with Acrobat 9. After we uninstall Acrobat X, the documents are still not viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told to unistall all Adobe products, but we are unable to uninstall the Reader. We are running Window XP Professional SP3. Is there a way to completing uninstall Reader? Or do you have any other suggestions?

    Here's my problem, running 10.7.3 and Safari.
    I installed the 10.1.3 and have been running in 64 mode. If when viewing a PDF I choose File>Save As... I get a dialog saying "Export as... and upon trying to do so I get an error message that it can't export.
    If, however, I choose the little floppy icon in the popup at the bottom I get a "Save a copy as..." and everything works as expected.
    If I delete the Adobe plugins as specified in earlier posts, I get the Preview view of PDFs in Safari and Save As works normally.
    I tend to like Adobe's viewer because it defaults to a bigger view, otherwise it's apples/oranges, er adobes.

  • Error "Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched" | CS3

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 and CS3. My Acrobat 8 Professional won't open and gives the error message "Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    I already had Photoshop open when I got this message, so I googled my error message and found this Error "Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched" | CS3
    I followed the instructions for Solution 2:
    Solution 2: Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders (Mac OS only)
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open. 
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder). 
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
    Important: Do not delete these folders.
    Open Acrobat 8 Professional. 
    Enter your serial number when prompted.
    When I entered the serial number that goes with my software it said it was invalid and I still couldn't open Acrobat, but now none of my Creative Suite would work as they all said they weren't registered. Thank goodness for Time Machine!!!! So I have reinstalled the folders and all the other components are working again, but I still can't open Acrobat. HELP!!!
    I hope someone can tell me what to do. Thank you.

    Thank you Michael. It worked
