Creative Suite 4 install issue with Acrobat

Hello:
Another install question/issue: I installed the cs4 suite. Whenever I go to open a microsoft office product, the windows installer pops up and says it is installing Acrobat. I hit cancel and try to open Acrobat and it wont open. I tried to reinstall and get an error message: Error 1603 fatal error during installation.
Does anybody know what that error is? I tried running the download program to explain the error and it would not install.
Any help or explanation is appreciated.

Creative Suite 3 Unistall Issue with Illustrator

I recently uninstalled CS3 from laptop as I no longer require it on this machine as I have changed jobs, this left me with a separate version of Illustrator CS on my list of programs. When I try to uninstall Illustrator I get an error message
"Illustrator CS has been installed as part of the Adobe Creative Suite and can only be updated by using Creative Suite installer.
To use this stand alone Setup program instead, you must first uninstall Illustrator CS"
I am trying to uninstall Illustrator CS when this message appears so don't understand why.
Any suggestions?

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium.
The steps I took were go to Control Panel-Uninstall Programs. I uninstalled Adobe Creative Suite 3 which deleted fine, I also had a separate program for illustrator.
When I select that program and uninstall an InstallShield Wizard comes up, starts to run then errors saying
"Illustrator CS has been installed as part of the Adobe Creative Suite and can only be updated by using Creative Suite installer.
To use this stand alone Setup program instead, you must first uninstall Illustrator CS"
Uninstalling CS is what I'm trying to do

same thing if i run manually the cleaner tool and go through the dialog.
I don't know what else I can do, I've already spent a couple of hours with this issue.
Any help / suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.

hi, thanks for your answer, actually this is what I have to do:
I have to uninstall cs4 english to install it back in french. If I try reinstall with the french licence over the existing install, it starts in trial mode and ask for the licence.
So if I follow your advice I should reinstall, uninstall, then reinstall ( and I have to do that on 30 computers, through SCCM, not manually)
As you see it become quite complicated.
An other suggestions?
thanks

Continuing Leopard Issues with Acrobat Pro

So after patiently waiting for Leopard update and installing it, I'm still having the same Distiller crash when trying to print to PDF. Is anyone else still having problems after this update? There's little weird about the machine - MBP Intel with 10.5.1 - and I'm up to round 4 with Adobe support on this.

I was having the crash issue with Acrobat Professional 8 right after I upgraded to CS3 in 2007 and prior to loading Leopard recently. Calling Adobe did not help in fixing the problem (they just had me reinstall the software). The support staff didn't find/look for the Technote I finally found: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333592
When I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, I started making sure I had the latest updates for my CS3 suite and had to turn the updater.acroplugin plugin back on to install the updates. I was hoping the updates would have fixed the problem, but it didn't. Soon as I "unchecked" the acroplugin, Acrobat worked fine again in Leopard.

I have had creative suite premium installed on my computer for a long time, but now it states that my computers configuration has changed and needs to be reactivated, but it cannot be activated by internet, and the phone number states that adobe no longer

I have had creative suite premium installed on my computer for a long time, but now it states that my computers configuration has changed and needs to be reactivated, but it cannot be activated by internet, and the phone number states that adobe no longer activates by phone.

i bought adobe creative suite premium actual cds, with serial yet when i put its serial in to redeem it and download it onto my new mac through your adobe site it says on your site it says my serial is invalid, when my serial is not, it is clear you adobe advertise you can use your old software on new apple computers but clearly this is not the case; forcing me and all to shell out vast amours of money just to use your products i have already bought????.......i will never buy your product again!!!!

Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to 64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working." I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .
hth,
Ben

CS4 Creative Suite Standard Install Discs/Download?

So unfortunately my macbook's harddrive just crashed, and with it many photos and applications, including my whole adobe CS4 creative suite standard (student edition). My problem is that I no longer have the original install discs because my beloved roommate threw the box out. Also a problem, I cannot even think about upgrading to CS5 (don't really want to) because I am still on OS X10.4 (Tiger). I have tracked down my serial number through adobe's support (muchos gracias), but have no way of getting ahold of a complete CS4 creative suite standard install discs/download. I have tracked down a friend's CS4 Photoshop install discs (but that doesn't work with my serial #) as well as another friend's CS4 creative suite premium install discs (also doesn't work with my serial #)... Is there anything I can do to get a download or install discs of the programs from adobe? I only use/need photoshop and bridge, but really need them seeing as I am a ski photographer who is trying to finish up my last edits for winter submissions...

"Copy to clipboard" issue with Acrobat X and Skype extension in Firefox

This post is just to let you know that there is and issue with Acrobat X and the Skype extension in Firefox.
I don't know why but when both programs (Firefox and Acrobat) are opened and I try to copy something from a PDF I always get an error
message like "Impossible to copy into the clipboard. An internal error occurred".
If I close Firefox or I disable the Skype extension for Firefox everything runs smoothly.
It is really odd, I don't know if it is a problem of Acrobat, Firefox or of Skype....
Are anyone experiencing the same problem?
See you.
Alessandro.
Ps. I'm using Windows Vista SP2, Skype extension 5.2.0.7165, Acrobat 10.0.1, Firefox 3.6.16

Just found your post after getting the same problem with Google Chrome and Adobe Reader 10. It doesn't happen all the time but is annoying. If I switch Chrome off the problem is cured. Switch it straight back on and the problem reappears. It has only started after Skype was installed. Thanks for posting - I'll just switch Chrome off for now when I want to copy and paste unless a fix appears.

Performance Issues with Acrobat Reader 11.0.0.2 when secure mode is enabled

Hello All,
We are experiencing sporadic issues with Acrobat 11.0.0.2 across our domain, users are reporting performance issues when opening PDF documents whether locally or from a network share.
We have found that turning off Secure Mode helps towards reducing this delay and in the cases it doesn't we are repairing the installation and/or reinstalling the application.
Due to the security implications we need to leave this turned on, I am wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and what steps were taken towards resolving it?
I also wonder whether the white list function in the new release 11.0.0.3 would be a solution to this issue?
Kind Regards,
Ryan McCarty

No probelm, so....
We had no problems with Adobe Reader 9 and 10, we encountered the issues when upgrading to 11.0.0.2.
Initially we found that turning off the Protected Mode, helped but did not resolve the issue.
We tried;
1. Turn off protected mode - issue still present
2. Clearing the recent file registry using the below registry path and deleting the keys underneath it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles (this does not turn recent files off permanently). - works but needs clearing regularly
3. Turning off welcome screen by creating - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cWelcomeScreen - works to improve app open speed.
4. uninstall/reinstall of 11.0.0.2 - works most likley due to the recent files being cleared.
5. upgrade to 11.0.0.3 - issue still present
Following reboots the issue is still present.
When Adobe Reader is the only application open this issue is still present.
As mentioned I have no systems available which I could test this issue using 11.0.0.1 as we have fixed them, albeit temporarily using the reinstall method.
I am concious that this issue is going to reoccur once that cache (recent files) builds back up because the fix above (#2) is clearing the recent files cache NOT disabling it.

Created Menu in JS in Acrobat 9.2 & Issue with Acrobat 9.4.4

I originally created this Javascript on Acrobat
7.0 because there was not a means for me to
convert a pdf to jpeg.
When I updated to Acrobat 9.2, the following javascript that I have been using until I have acrobat 9.4.4.
     // mystuff.js - Adobe Acrobat custom menu addition
     app.addMenuItem({ cName: "SaveToJPEG", cParent: "File", nPos: 0,
      cExec: "this.saveAs('/c/football/JPEG Folder/Rept.jpeg', 'com.adobe.acrobat.jpeg')" });
     // End of media.js
In Acrobat 9.4.4 I have the problem of creating this jpeg now.
I see this issue with Acrobat 9.4.4 on Win XP Sp2 (or Sp3 if its the latest), and on Win 7 (64-bits) pro.
I believe there is now "Save As" menu option that will allow me to save a file to jpg now.
I manually tried this using the tool bar and its all works.
I call this operation using MS Access VBA code.   This is part of the VBA colde that I used:
            Path = pdfFile & T![DirName]
            pptFile = Left(T![DirName], Len(T![DirName]) - 4) & ".ppt"
            Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
            Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDOC")
            If (AVDoc.Open(Path, Path)) Then
                Set AVPageView = AVDoc.GetAVPageView
                Set pdDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc()
                Set jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject
                gApp.Show
                gApp.MenuItemExecute "SaveToJPEG"
                Set jso = Nothing
                pdDoc.Close
                Set pdDoc = Nothing
                Set AVPageView = Nothing
                AVDoc.Close (0)
                Set AVDoc = Nothing
            End If
            OldName = "c:\football\JPEG Folder\Rept.jpeg": NewName = "c:\football\JPEG Folder\Rept_Page_" & Format(Count, "000") & ".jpeg"
            Name OldName As NewName
            Count = Count + 1
I am able to call the menu item "SAVE AS", but I don't know how to pass parameters to this ??   I was able to called the "Save As" as follow:
     gApp.MenuItemExecute "Save As"
How would I pass the parameter like I have in my Javascript ??
I need help to resolve this issue to work with Acrobat 9.4.4 ?

You would need to first set some javascript globals from your VBA code and then call your menu item.

if you read it it says to open the Flex folder and change the name. I did that and the apps work but I was not asked for the serial number again. I was in in 10.4.11 and just upgraded to 10.5.4 could that have caused this as I was running fine before.
