CS6 suite - cannot open acrobat to activate it.

I have the CS5.5 suite and the CS6 Suite.
I upgraded from CS5.5 learning edition to CS6 Pro.
Now I am trying to print things to a pdf but although everything else is registered - Acrobat keeps saying it is not activated.
I went into the AAcrobat folder and tried to run the Acrobat.exe but it just does not open.
How can I open it to activate if it will not open..
Thanks in advance
Terry

Not sure. This is an activation issue as I recall, but there are some strange things that happen with the Creative Suite that appears to be what you have. Some of the others that have had the problem will hopefully be by. In the meantime, do a search of the forum for CS or such.

  • Error Message on Web Premium Suite while opening Acrobat that Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a Suite

    Can not open Acrobat Pro 9 out of my adobe creative suite 4 web premium.  Keeps giving an error message. Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite.  To enable Adobe Acrobat start another component of this suite.  I am running Windows 7 64 and already have the CS6 Premium Production Suite loaded on my computer.  I really don't need to load all of the Web Premium since I have upgraded to CS6 programs but still need the Acrobat.  My hard drive crashed and I've had to start all over again.  This is the only glitch and it's becoming very frustrating.
    Can't find a link to actually speak to someone at Adobe.

    you'll need to install and open some other 32 bit cs4 app.

  • Cs6 suite not opening

    I am trying to download the trial for the cs6 suite and the folder will not open. It says there is no available application that can open it. What should I do.

    Ok so you have downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant.  If you go to your download folder can you run the exe from there?  You may also want to try using a different web browser.

  • Cannot open Acrobat 6 *crash upon start up*

    I cannot open Adobe Acrobat 6.02 Professional on an iMac G5 running OSX. Every time I attempt to open it, it crashes. This problem began out of the blue. Acrobat 6.02 Professional runs fine on an Apple Powerbook G4 laptop running OSX. I deleted the Acrobat 6 on the iMac and copied the version from the laptop to it, and it also crashes continually. I have rebooted the computer several times and run the Disk Utility to Repair file permissions. I am not having any other problems with this computer. Thanks for the advice.

    Acrobat 6 is so many versions back I can't recall how it was originally installed. I suspect that the problem may be just copying application isn't copying all the hidden support files which Acrobat puts in different locations. I'd reinstall it from the original install disk.

  • Cannot open Acrobat 6 Pro after opening Reader 8 and viceversa

    There is a compatibility issue between Acrord32.exe and Acrobat.exe files?
    My Acrobat 6 Professional does not open while viewing a PDF in Reader 8, get a empty Reader 8 window instead of Acrobat 6.
    When trying the opposite, the Reader 8 shows the following error message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again."
    Operating system is Windows XP Professional and browser is Internet Explorer 7.

    Reader leaves a resident part running, even after you close it. To open Acrobat, you must first shut down the resident part from the task list.

  • Cannot open Acrobat Reader X (10.1.0)

    Everytime I attempt to open Acrobat Reader on my PC, I get the Windows Error box asking if I want to tell Microsoft about the problem.  This has only started happening since installing Reader X (10.1.0).
    I have attempted to repair the installation.
    I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall.
    I have verified the registry was cleaned.
    I am running Windows XP SP3.
    Any help would be appreciated.  In the meantime, I am looking for an installation package for Acrobat Reader 9.

    Can you post a screenshot of the crash dialog that you see? Also, is there anything specific about your system - virus scanner, accessibility tool that you use, etc?
    You can download older versions of Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

  • Cannot open Acrobat XI due to error 213:5

    I have followed the directions at the website for checking permissions on two Adobe folders
    and these are set up correctly.
    I have downloaded the 3 updates for Acrobat XI
    I have rebooted 3 time and still cannot access Acrobat XI
    I am on Mac 10.7
    Now what?

    Hi,
    This could be because of permission issues.
    Can you please navigate to the location : --
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    Rename the Folder -- "SLStore"
    and Relaunch the Acrobat and see if that works.
    Although this is a different error, but you can try the patch for fixing licensing shared here -- http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-213-19-licensing-acrobat.html
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • Cannot open Acrobat

    Within a web browser, I can access PDFs and open them, but to try and open Acrobat nothing comes up. It just sits on my bottom bar. Task Manager says it's running, but I can't interact with it apart from closing it down. I updated to 10 to try and fix the issue without success. Any help with this would be great, as it greatly hinders my ability to check my work once saved.
    I run Windows 7 on a Samsung laptop. I can provide specifics if necessary.
    Oh, I should mention. Up until sometime this summer (when I wasn't using it, of course), Acrobat opened fine. Apoligies if this was posted to the wrong section; I guessed.

    Hi KrisleyAshten,
    Please let us know is this Adobe reader that you are experiencing problem with or it is Adobe professional.
    What is the exact version that is currently installed on the machine. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall.

  • CS6 AI Cannot open a file saved from CS5 AI

    Had uninstalled completely the CS6 Master collection and CC cleaner tools and reinstall the CS6 again, but problem still there.
    Using Win8.1 Pro 64bit desktop at home.

    Hi Peter,
    I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

  • Cannot Open Acrobat XI PDF files

    I installed Acrobat XI on a Windows 7 Pro computer.
    I can create PDF files on that computer as well as view/edit the files. When I send the files to another computer, I receive an error message 'file is damaged and cannot be opened'
    This has occurred on about ten different test files.
    I have sent test files to four other computers using different OS's and all have the same error message.
    Any thoughts as to the issue?

    I used MS Remote Desktop to log into the server which created the pdf document.
    I copied and pasted the PDF file to my local computer. From there, I emailed the document out to other computers.
    So, my local computer and four other computers get a 'damaged file' message
    I have one person report to me that he could open and view the PDF file when using Cloud-based MS Outlook.
    But, he cannot view the file on a local computer.
    We have tried various readers including: Adobe XI reader, Firefox and a few others.

  • Cannot open Acrobat 9.0 if RoboHelp 7 is open

    If I am running RoboHelp 7 and I attempt to start Acrobat 9.0, Acrobat does not open. The same problem occurs if I'm running RoboHelp 7 and click a PDF to try to open it. Nothing happens. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution?

    Did you download, install, and run the Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove Acrobat? I assume that is NOT what you say in the "Windows Installer Cleanup script?"

  • Cannot Open Acrobat Reader

    I have Reader version 8.1.2, which I use on Windows XP Pro. Most of the time when I try to open a download I get the message "Error Opening this document. This file cannot be found".
    This is so frustrating because I have to look at lots of PDF files. Occasionally it opens, but reverts to the error message on the subsequent times.
    Does anybody have a solution for this.

    Thank you for that tip. When I download attachments from an email and it does that error, I can retrieve the downloaded PDF by going into My Documents. The problem comes when I am obtaining quotes or other information directly from a website, because they are not saved anywhere. If I could open them, I could then save them or print them off, but in this case I cannot even see them.
