Constant Crashes with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Hello
I always have real difficulty getting this program to work correctly.
Is there a downloadable installer which contains the latest updates where the program will install and work properly yet? i.e. a full 9.3.2 download without having to install 9.0 and then update twice to get the program to work correctly? Even with 9.3.2 it is bugy and unreliable.
I have to install version 9.0 which will then fail to open with a C++ error message saying pure virtual function call (I can't remember exactly). I was originally told by Adobe that this was not a bug and it was my system even though it happened on every PC I tried to install on. It turned out it was due to them not testing the program with roaming profiles/folder redirection which a lot of people use. It then took over a year for them to manage to fix this.
Luckily a fix is now available so at least I can use this expensive piece of software again without having to give everyone local accounts for their PCs. The update does not work though. If I download the 9.3.2 update from the Adobe website and try to install, it tells me that the program to be updated is not installed and refuses to update the program.
If I log in locally and then go to Help > Update, the updater tells me a new version of the updater is available and needs to be installed. It downloads this and tries to update, at which point a command window appears and then I get a message saying the program has stopped working correctly and must be closed.
I can however run it from the program files/common files/adobe/updater6 directory
This then installs 9.2 and I have to restart and repeat the process for 9.3.2 and restart again.
Then it is hit and miss whether the program will automatically just close after accepting the licence agreement or work correctly.
In cases where it doesn't I have to uninstall and go right back to the beginning. I have tried the suggested fix of pressing the enter key to accept it and manually accepting it in the registry. Neither work for me.
Working in IT the adobe reader has always been one of the more problematic software packages but version 9 is worse still and has caused years of headaches. I'm just pleased not many people need to edit pdfs and for the rest FoxIT Reader and PDFCreater will surfice.
I am currently needing to install it on quite a few PCs and having to go through this process every time is very time consuming. Is there a better way?
Thanks
Robin

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Signature Issue after upgrade

    I have updated to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from Acrobat 7 Standard. I have several pdf files that I have signed and secured. These files have been set to not allow clients to remove or alter various pages. I did not save a copy without the signature or security settings. I have not been able to get back into 7 Standard to try and retrieve the signature. I do have a complete backup of the program files. Can anyone tell me how I might be able to retrieve the signature (or signature files) from Standard 7 and place it in 9 Pro Extended? I am using the same computer and as mentioned above I have a complete backup of 7 standard program files prior to the update. I would like to be able to remove the signature and alter the security settings in Pro 9 Extended.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended hangs for about 12 seconds ... please help!

    Hi there,
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and have the following problem:
    I can open PDF documents just fine. But after about 3-4 seconds the program hangs / freezes for about 12 seconds. I've tried everything (defined a non-network printer as default printer, deactivated unecessary fonts with a font manager, deactivated most of the plugins from Adobe Acrobat etc.)... nothing helps to solve this issue.
    Can anybody give me a hint or have a solution for this ???
    Thanks for your help!

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • Portable Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Hello,
    how can i make a portable Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
    how can i add my plug-in to a portable Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

    You can not.  Adobe does not support such a concept and the software doesn't work in such an environment.
    Now why would you need one?  Are you developing a solution around Acrobat that needs to be deployed with your application?  Then you should be looking at the Adobe PDFLibrary - which is basically a headless version of Acrobat that you deliver with your apps.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended,  64-bit Add-On, Version 9.0.0

    Does anybody know if this is still needed for Adobe Acrobat Pro Ext, version 9.5.2 ? Our security people are declaring that this is a vulnerability, and I see no way to update it or even verify if it is needed. There are no clear references to this on Adobe's website, other than for previous versions of 9 Pro Extended.

    All I can tell you is it's title in the "Programs and Features" tool of Windows 7. To whit: "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 64-bit Add-On."  It has an installation date of 8-30-2011 and is only 34KB in size, according to Windows. It is listed below the Main Acrobat 9 Pro program, which doesn't give it's size, but does give the current version of 9.5.2, which is the latest for Acrobat 9 Pro as far as I know.
          The one thing I want to establish is whether this add-on is necessary for the current version of Acrobat 9 Pro to function or not. I can find no guidance on Acrobat's website; at least a search reveals nothing anyway. And it is not referenced in their update site at all. If worse comes to worse, I will call them for guidance because our security types are listing it as a problem, and I am wondering if they are confusing this add-on with the main program.
    Hope this helps with your knowledge, and thanks for replying.

  • AutoCAD Revit Architekture 2010 in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Hallo,
    wer kann mir weiter helfen?
    Wie bekomme eine AutoCAD Revite Architekture 2010 Datei in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?
    Ich möchte eine 3D PDF herstellen!
    Vielen Dank im Voraus.
    Beste Grüße
    Jörg P.

    Vermutlich gar nicht, soweit ich die Infos überschaue. Bestenfalls als DWG exportieren und dann in Acrobat importieren. Da ADesk aber das Format jedes Jahr erweitert/ ändert um allen anderen den Spass zu verderben, gibt's dafür keine Garantie. SAT könnte auch funzen. Ansonsten gibt's sicher irgendwo ein schnuckeliges Export-Plugin für sowas zu kaufen...

  • Why can't I download my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended  from my account,

  • Frage zu Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:  ausfüllbares Formular für Aufkleber erstellen und oben links drucken.

    Frage zu Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:
    Ich habe folgende Aufgabe. Ich muss einen Paketaufkleber einscannen der die Maße 145 (Breite) x 107 (Länge) mm hat. Dann soll dieses Bild (der eingescannte Aufkleber)  als Hintergrund in ein Formular eingebunden werden. Dieses Bild (eingescannter Aufkleber) soll aber später nicht mit ausgedruckt werden.
    In diesem Formular sollen Felder für die Adressen eingefügt werden die ausgedruckt werden sollen. Also der eigentliche Aufkleber soll nur als Hintergrund erscheinen und die Felder sollen ausfüllbar sein. Bei Drucken wird das Original Formular in den Flachbettdrucker gelegt und NUR die Adressen sollen in das Formular gedruckt werden. Dabei sollte der Ausdruck möglichst so erfolgen das alles oben links ausgedruckt wird damit ich den Aufkleber links in den Flachbettdrucker einlegen kann.
    Das ganze möchte ich möglichst einfach mit dem Adobe Acrobat machen. Der Aufkleber wurd von mir schon eingescannt und liegt mir nun als JPG und als GIF vor. Einige Versuche mit dem erstellen von Formularen habe ich schon hinter mir. Ich habe es auch schon geschafft Formuarfelder einzurichten. Das Problem ist die Formatierung ( Größe des Aufklebers / exakter Ausdruck auf dem Formular / Hintergrund) und das der Aufkleber nur als Sichbares Hintergrundbild erscheinen soll aber nicht mit ausgedruckter werden darf weil der Original Aufkleber nur bedruckt werden soll.

    Erstelle Dein PDF wie gehabt.
    kein Problem mach ich!
    Speicher eine Kopie
    kein Problem mach ich!
    Füge die Formularfelder ein.
    kein Problem mach ich!
    Ersetze die Seite mit einer weißen Seite gleichen Formats. (Die Formularfelder bleiben bestehen)
    Da Weiss ich nicht wie! Ich habe auch den Eindruck das das PDF viel zu gross ist. Wen ich das Lineal einblende steht oben die Breite bei über 1200 mm
    Im Seitenmenü gibt es die Möglichkeit Hinterrund einzufügen, tu das und füge die Kopie ein, auf 100% und setze diesen auf dem Bildschirm Sichtbar, aber nicht drucken.
    Das habe ich schon gefunden
    In den Dokumenteigenschaften setze beim Drucken die Dokumenteinstellung auf nicht skalieren.
    Das Feld nicht skalieren finde ich dort nicht sondern:

  • Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server."  I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

    No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on  a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
    Also worth noting.
    I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!

  • Welche Catia Versionen werden von Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended unterstützt?

    Hallo,
    ich würde gerne wissen welche Catia und auch Siemens NX Versionen von Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended unterstützt werden. Bei Adobe habe ich ein 3D update gefunden, dass bis zur Catia V5 R19 und Siemens NX 6 unterstützt. Ist das der aktuelle Stand? Wann wird es ein Update für weitere Versionen geben bzw. gibt es diese bereits?

    Es wird niemals nimmer mehr irgendwelche Updates in der Richtung geben, weil Adobe das ganze Zeug abgegeben hat und man es als kostenpflichtiges Plugin kaufen muss.
