Conflict between Reader 10 and Acrobat 9 Pro, but Dreamweaver needs Acrobat?

I was trying to figure out why Adobe Reader 10 would not print a simple one-page PDF containing only text information distributed by the federal government. I found a message about this in Adobe's forums where the person  was told they should not have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Reader 10  installed at the same time. Well, my understanding is that removing Acrobat Pro is dangerous, because  when I installed Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, its installer said Acrobat 9 Pro had to be installed first before Dreamweaver CS5 would function. Does anyone understand this? Maybe I should remove Reader 10 instead, and just open and print PDFs with Acrobat? That's what worked with the government PDF I just mentioned.

To answer the DW side, DW does not need Acrobat to for anything as far as I know.  Acrobat has installed before the rest of the suite (assuming you have the suite) because Acrobat was never a true part of the suite and is on a completely different lifecycle than the rest of the suite.  Hence no CS 5.5 to include Acrobat X.  And it is true what you have heard that you should not mix versions of Pro and Reader.  Is there a reason you needed Acrobat X Reader on your machine?  Was there actually a file out there that doesn't open in version 9?
If Acrobat is giving you trouble I would recommend uninstalling the Reader version of X and leave the pro version on.  Due the time we are at out, I think it is unlikely that a point release of CS5 will be released and the integration of the suite with Acrobat X won't take place until Creative Suite 6 is released.

  • Javascript works in Acrobat Pro but not in Reader

    Hello,
    I have created a form in Acrobat Pro that works fine in Pro and seems to work in reader. However, when I open it on the site and it loads up in the browser window the form then messes up when it gets to any one of these 2 scripts:
    1.
    var a=this.getField("Parking Passes")
    if (a.value>=1)
    {event.value=1}
    else
    {event.value="0"}
    2.
    var a=this.getField("Additional Passes")
    if (a.value>8)
    {event.value= (a.value-8)*25}
    else {event.value="0"}
    After one of these scripts is processed then the field for script 2. (a total of this script) is summed with other fields and the total field goes to only the amount of the script 2. field. What can I do to fix this. It seems to work outside of the browser when I open it in reader or acrobat pro but never in the browser window?
    Thank you!
    Joe

    I was just asking where those scripts are located.
    You can configure Chrome to use Reader instead of its built-in viewer: http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2010/12/use-adobe-plugins-to-view-pdfs-inside-google-chrome /

  • Different between Reader and Acrobat - Forcing URL's to load PDF's into IE

    I implemented an action button links in PDF form to connect to server.
    When open PDF form by Reader: Links is opened and processed by IE.
    When open PDF form by Acrobat: Links is auto opened and processed by Acrobat.
    I want to keep actions opened links by IE. Are there anyway that I can turn off auto open links by Acrobat when open PDF form by Acrobat?
    I want to force URL's to load PDF's into IE.
    Please help me resolve it. Thank a lot.

    Oh I have the same problem. My submit button send all input data on PDf Form to an asp.net web server. The web server process it and then response with a html data.
    - In case Acrobat Reader : a browser will be openned automatically to receive that html data.
    - In case Acrobat Pro : it opens a "download form" and process that html data
    It is too ridiculous but my project need to receive html data by browser(not by acrobat pro). We need it for doing something with javascript and DOM elements
    Is there any way to do this ? Please help me

  • Save form in Reader AND allow users to edit in Acrobat Pro

    I have to create a generic form that I can pass on that allows somoene to edit/customize the form for different clients. However, the end users also have to be able to fill in the form and then save that form locally. It seems to me that Acrobat Pro and Reader are cancelling each other out in this regard. I can set up the form just fine in Acrobat Pro, but when I enable the "Save" function for Reader, I can't edit the form anymore in Acrobat Pro.
    Full disclosure, I'm still on Acrobat Pro 7 (I had to use a co-worker's Acrobat Pro 8 to set the "Save Form" function for Reader). Have the later versions of Acrobat Pro fixed this issue?

    Or You could let the end users without Acrobat use the free PDF-XChange Viewer to fill out and save the form.

    (Strange that it is so hard for Adobe to meet this simple need to fill out and save for common users with only the Adobe Reader - with out any "hanky panky" applying with Acrobat)

    Also, please share the screenshot of the message that pops on your screen as I need to analyze the exact issue.

    Purchased Acrobat Pro but keeps defaulting to Adobe Reader

    First things first, let's get Acrobat running. When you get the "trial expired" notice, it's because Acrobat doesn't know you have a subscription. To tell it, you have to sign in to tell it you have a license.

  • [JS CS3] Conflict between palettes and panels

    Hello,
    I am having a conflict between panels and palettes. Hopefully I can get some direction without having to copy the code here, because it is very long.
    I have a window of the palette type. This palette has buttons and radio buttons. The buttons call up various functions.
    The radio buttons, however, make visible/invisible a series of panels in the palette. The panels are stacked upon each other, only one of which is visible at any one time, depending upon which radio button is selected.
    One of the buttons in the palette calls up another palette (which also has a series of buttons for various functions). Let's call it the little palette. The problem is, that after the little palette is called up, the radio buttons in the big palette no longer work. I can select them but they will not make visible/invisible any of the stacked panels. The buttons in the visible panel work as well as all the other buttons that are always visible. The only thing that does not work are the radio buttons.
    My only workaround is to just dismiss the palette and call it up again. But I'd rather fix this bug.
    Any ideas? If I need to I can strip down the coding leaving only the essentials, but rather not take the time if this is a problem others have run into and hopefully have a solution for.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks.  I'll give it a try, but I even uninstalled both programs, tried
    reinstalling Reader only, and when that didn't work, uninstalled Reader and
    then reinstalled Acrobat.  Still a problem.  The particular website is
    www.officeally.com, and it opens the PDF file in a browser window, I believe
    using an ASP file.

  • Software conflict between iPhoto and Sony MP3 player

    I am experiencing a major software conflict between iPhoto and my Sony MP3 player (model: NWZ-E443). In the past, whenever I connect the MP3 to my 2009 MacBook Pro, iPhoto always opened. I would simply close iPhoto and everything would be OK, though. But after upgrading iPhoto a few months ago via an upgrade download I am now unable to view images full-screen. Although thumbnails display OK, when I double-click on any of them to display full-screen, the MP3's 'Do Not Disconnect' image displays full-screen instead, even when the MP3 is not connected.
    I have tried reinstalling iPhoto from the original iLife disc, but this didn't work and my fear is that the Sony software has somehow corrupted every image single file in my library.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • Conflict between VPN and Airport disk

    Hello Folks, I just bought a brand new airport extreme 802n.
    I thought it would be working fine with my Macbook pro, but it doesn't.
    I can't access any externe hard disk or USB Stick through the airport extreme, although the format is FAT32. I checked and checked but found nothing useful. All the settings are default.
    Worth to mention, I always use a cisco VPN client to get connected to the Internet (university student).
    There are few times when I disconnected the VPN Client, the USB Client can be found and read, but not be written.
    I though it is a conflict between VPN and Airport disk. So I tried without VPN, but the USB stick and the extern hard disk still didn't work properly. I have no idea what is happening could somebody help?
    By the way is it possible to set Airport extreme as a VPN router so I don't have to use the cisco VPN client anyway?
    Any reply is appreciated
    Thank you !

    I have an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem
    with comcast as my isp. The Extreme is connected to
    a G4 dual processor mac via ethernet. I also have 3
    airport expresses around the house to work as range
    extenders. When I had the G4 connect to the Extreme
    via its internal airport card, I had no difficulty
    connecting to any of the Expresses around the house
    with my g4 powerbook. Now that I have the G4 Dual
    directly connected by ethernet to get the fastest
    speed, I cannot get my expresses or my laptop to
    connect through my laptop to the base station. all
    lights are green on the expresses, but running
    network diagnostics on the powerbook shows red or
    yellow for the last two buttons on the right. Do I
    have a configuration problem or an Extreme that won't
    bridge properly?
    Check that the G4 Dual has a location configured with
    only "Built-In Ethernet" activated, and that its
    Ethernet connection isn't shared on AirPort.
    Turn off all your AX and check that your
    PB G4 is able to connect to "your" AirPort network.
    Take advantage of this silence of all your AX
    to run an analysis of your wireless environnement:
    - check that you don't have any neighbor wireless
    network,
    - check that on each of your AX settlement you have a
    very good reception of "your" AirPort network.
    If everything works fine to that point, add one AX to
    your network, and check the reachability of your network
    where you wanted to extend it.

  • I purchased an annual subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro but my Mac 10.5.8 doesn't support it. Is there another Adobe product

    I purchased an annual subscription to Adobe Acrobat pro but it doesn't operate on my Mac 10.5.8 operating system.
    Is there another Adobe product to which I should ask my subscription be switched so I can convert PDFs into
    Word and vice versa?

    PDF Pack can do that; but you may only be able to use the online service, since Adobe Reader may also not run on your OS (depending on the architecture).
