Coexistance of Acrobat 6.0 professional and Reader 7.0

Hi,
I have acrobat professional 6.0 installed on my computer. Later I installed acrobat reader 7.0 with the latest updates. Now I cannot open a PDF file for editing. Even if I open it using Open with, I always get Acrobat reader 7.0 and not the 6.0 professional.
Are there ant setting required for this to work?

Adobe neither supports nor recommends that combination. Most known problems don't relate to creating pdfs, but usually with viewing pdf files. However, if you remove Reader 9.1 you will break Acrobat 6. I'd recommend you uninstall both and re-install 6 (unless you want to upgrade to version 9). Be aware the Acrobat 9 is the last version of Acrobat you can purchase as an upgrade from Acrobat 6. When the next version comes out you'll have to pay full fare.

Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.

Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

hi tuggerose
i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional and in full view some pages get smaller.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional in full view some pages get smaller. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

Further to this original post --- OK, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program, to no avail. I did however get a message which I had gotten before but since I was not yet aware that the program got installed with any problems, I had not noticed... This time I took notice. The error message was clearly what it is about, at least to a great extent. I got this message: Warning 20225: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port Printer may be unavailable. GetLastError: The operation completed successfully. So then after the reinstallation, I went into Control Panel, Printers & Drivers and made a valiant attempt to manually install a virtual printer port. I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed in another computer on which I have Windows XP Pro (yes the only other computer-- I am permitted two installations for this program-- I confirmed this with Adobe), by looking at Properties and copying down exactly the text, etc. which described the names of the two possible ports, etc. Tried to "tell" my new computer (the one which has Windows 7) that it should set up and/or look for such a virtual port, again to no avail. I am amazed that Adobe does not allow me to even pay cash money for tech support, but they wouldn't do it. I guess you can have just so many employees who know the programs, etc. Anyway, as I said before I may just break down and buy the 9.0 version which the Adobe techie told me is indeed compatable with Windows 7. He did not tell me that Windows 7 was incompatible with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but that 8.0 is indeed incompatible. Just googled the term "Warning 20225" along with some relevant buzz words. I can see there is still a bit of tweaking I may be able to do before I cry "uncle!"

Acrobat 7.0.9 and Reader 9 - Issues opening PDF in IE6

I'm hoping someone can help. All our users have Reader 9 installed as part of the corporate image. Some of our users run Acrobat 7.0.9 as well. For those users, we are experiencing issues where when we try to open a PDF in IE6. We get the following error:
SW:iexplore.exe_application error - The instruction at "0x052f51b6" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "read".
I've opened Acrobat 7.0.9 and checked Edit, Preference, Internet. The option to untick "Display PDF in browser" is greyed out.
I've opened IE6 and gone to Tools, Manage Add-Ons and there is nothing listed for "Acrobat Control for ActiveX (pdf.ocx)" listed.
I've tried uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling. I've then also tried running a repair on both Reader and Acrobat, but nothing seem to be fixing the issue. This has only started happening since we upgraded Reader to 9 in our image.
Any advice on how to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.

From: <[email protected]> | Adobe STRONGLY recommends that you DO NOT not have Acrobat and Reader installed on the | same system. If you have just Acrobat installed, it will perform all the functions | Reader does and much more. Therefore, you should uninstall Reader, install Acrobat, and | DO NOT install Reader again. | Ken F. Not to mention that nobody should be using Adobe Reader v7.x do to all the vulnerabilities in it that are *actively* being exploited ! -- Dave

Acrobat V9.0 PDF and Reader V5.0 Compatibility

Hi - I'm having trouble with an Acrobat V9.0 PDF. The file was generated on the PC with WinXP using Acrobat V9.0 Standard Edition.
I also have access to an OS9.2 Mac which we use to run Adobe Framemaker. The Mac has Acrobat, Distiller and Reader V5.0.
Am finding that Acrobat or Reader V5.0 won't display V9.0 PDF's, coming up with a read error. I always thought that PDF was portable (Portable Document Format??).
Has the strive forward with versions now made this portabilty a thing of the past and now version dependant.
As a test we distilled a PDF using Acrobat V8.0 and this was display'd fine.
It seems to be an issue with the new realease.

Acrobat std. 6, and reader 9 conflicts HELP!!

Hello,
I have a client who has both acrobat standard 6.0 and acrobat reader 9.0 on his machine.
he needs both as the standard was set up for printing to networked printer in his office, by the printer's sales team.
he has no problem when opening .pdf files that are local. the problem happens when he tries to open a pdf web page or should i say a web page with a pdf file embedded in it. the computer wants to revert to acrobat standard and not use 9.0 to open the file.
i can not find a solution to this problem. i have looked in control panel/folder options/file types and have changed a few things, but to no avail.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
paul

Unfortunately you have found one of the many reasons why having both on the same machine is neither recommended nor supported. It looks like you have tried most everything there is to try.
The only other thing I can suggest is to go in to Task Manager and be sure that Standard is completely shut down before trying to open a PDF through the web browser. Of course that will be a pain to do every time...

Same doc, acrobat show item description and reader doesn't - any idea?

What do you mean by "item description", exactly?

Acrobat 6.0 Pro and reader 9.1

I have both the free Reader 9.1 and Acrobat 6.0 Pro installed on my computer. Is this going to create problems for me, such as being able to read or create files? I attempted an update earlier today and my computer locked up, so I'm figuring I may have a conflict having both programs on the computer. I am running XP. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Sue

Use Acrobat for computer files and Reader for IE files

How can I set up a computer so that most of the PDFs get opened in Acrobat, but if you click on a PDF online, it opens in Reader?
Thanks.

The main problem with Reader and Acrobat is that they tend to leave part resident. That means that once you start reader, the next time you try acrobat you will get reader instead. You then have to go to the task list and disable the resident part of Reader. There seems to be no choice that you can make to say not to put part resident. At least that is my understanding of the issue. Maybe others can help some.
I think you may have to play around a bit to determine the proper manner to use both programs.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and my I book

Trying to share a large .pdf file for edit between my account and another account on the same computer. It's a 44 mb file. Have placed it into the Public folder, and it shows on the other user's finder menu but when tried to open I get one of these: "There was an error opening this document. There was a Macintosh system error (-5000)" It opens just fine on my account.
Any suggestions how I can share this file?

That is an "AFP Access denied" error. It's a bit odd to see if you're not using file sharing across a network. I found the error here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=9804
But, the "Public" folder is for sharing across the network, not for sharing files on the same computer. If I were you, I'd put the file in the /Users/Shared/ folder. From the original user, select the document there and then choose "Get Info" from the File menu. Under the "Ownership & Permissions" section, make sure "Others" have both read and write access.

I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.

Can i download reader XI w/o it overwriting my acrobat 7.0 professional

i have acrobat 7.0 professional and everytime i've downloaded a version of reader, it overwrites my acrobat 7.0 professional. is there a way to download reader XI and keep my acrobat 7.0 professional intack?

I doubt that Adobe Reader "overwrites" Acrobat, but it may disable some things.
Acrobat and Reader were not a supported combination on the same OS until Acrobat X and Reader X.

Advanced Index Search Crashes Acrobat Pro and Reader

I have a problem of which I've not been able to find a similar past experience. Acrobat Pro 9.5 and Reader X both crash on a Windows 7 PC whenever I initiate a search using our Adobe-created index files. These index files work for every other computer on our Network and all relevant users have the same permissions to access the indexes. I've trashed the preferences folder and even uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. The functions are not relegated to a particular user on the machine as the problem is the same across the board, so I've narrowed the problem down to being on the PC itself. I've not seen this as a known issue anywhere nor seen people write about this as a past issue. Any and all help appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Bump. Y'know, for kids.

Acrobat 9.0 Pro and Office 2008 updates download but won't install

I hope I'm not alone experiencing the following difficulties installing third party patches and updates and that someone who reads this may recognize the problem…and its solution. I've run Adobe Updater (6?) for CS4 Design Standard which includes Acrobat 9.0 Professional, and subsequently, Microsoft Autoupdate for Office 2008 v12.0.1, but find that neither will install the downloaded updates which disappear immediately after an (unsuccessful) installation attempt.
Disk space is not a problem (500GB HD) nor is memory (4GB RAM); I'm using OS 10.6.4 (10F569) which is the most current set of OS updates I can locate. I had successfully been running CS4 with Adobe's most recent patches (e.g. P'Shop 11.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.3) until the 9.3.4 patch failed to install with the message that +"Safari and Acrobat apps must be closed in order to proceed"+—they were closed as was everything else that wasn't essential according to a check of the Acitivity Window. A grab of the alert panel reads:
+"AcroProUPd934_all Update Failed: The Patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed (for example, plug-ins may have been disabled). Please go to the Adobe support website for more information regarding how to re-enable disabled components prior to installing the patch, or you can uninstall and reinstall the application, and then reinstall the patch."+
Of course, uninstalling CS4 and reinstalling the entire suite of apps reverts all of them to their original versions, now none of them will accept an update…whether manually downloaded and fed to it or by using Adobe's most recent AutoUpdater. The most consistent message is an alert panel stating that in order to continue, Safari and Acrobat applications must be closed—which they are.
Not surprisingly, after nearly 8 hours on a cell phone with Adobe Tech Support in Delhi, 5 different techs and a manager, the case remains open a week later; it seems +"no one has ever seen or heard of this problem before"+ and an overly apologetic manager could only repeat +"it's [Adobe] policy to remove all copies of CS4 from existence once CS5 is introduced."+ While we waited for 500MB of updates to download more than once, a helpful tech suggested I'd have more luck finding a used copy of CS4 on the net than getting a link to another download from Adobe.
With regard to Microsoft Office 2008, I'd been running v12.0.1 and the MS Autoupdate app has tried to download and install v12.1.0 (and those which follow) but when installation is attempted, an alert panel reads:
+"There is a problem with the Office database. Office might be unable to access the data base or the database file might be damaged. Without the database, you might be unable to use the Address Book, Scrapbook, and other features that store your personal information. To rebuild the database, Open Microsoft Office 2008/Office, and then open the Microsoft Database Utility. For more information, open the Database Utility application, and on the Help menu, click Database Utility Help."+
All attempts to rebuild the database fail, noting…
+ERROR: Failed to open database [Head]+
+ERROR: Corruption opening database [16003:""]+
======================
+Scan Ended+
====================
Two hours on the phone with a relentlessly pleasant Nova Scotian tech for Microsoft revealed little but the suggestion that +"the app doesn't seem to be able to recognize your hard drive. I've never seen this problem before."+
With luck, perhaps someone reading this far recognizes the issue and can offer a solution? It will be gratefully received! Thanks,
David

Disk space is not a problem (500GB HD)
How much space is available out of the 500GB?
Have you tried any of the following:
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and try the installations again.

Acrobat 7.0 professional pdf binders issue

I have adobe acrobat 7.0 professional and this feature
stopped working:: to make a pdf of multiple files, like word docs.
it does compined many esisting PDFs into one binder, not like it
used to do to combine several mixed docments to a PDF binder. I had
my company IT dept reinstall, and I still get errors, to run in
repair mode, then still does not work.
OS: Windows XP;
Browser: IE
Already Tried:
IT look at and reinstall,

I just answered this question in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4251547#4251547. Basically you should be able to create a PDF (assuming you are not using a 64-bit system and then I have no clue), but not in the automated way you are used to doing. The first step would be to change the printer port for the Adobe PDF printer (assuming the driver got installed) to file. Then when you print or use PDF Maker, it will ask you for the file name. It will create a PS file (may have a prn extension) that you have to open in Distiller to complete the rest of the conversion. A bit of extra work, but workable. You are looking at a Win7 issue that has caused major problems for many software vendors, not just Adobe. The newer versions of Windows seem to ignore a lot of compatibility needs. Don't forget that with VISTA they had to add the help system back in because their own MS Office needed it.
