Custom Prompt to Require Upgrade to Acrobat 9

I have a Acrobat 9 PDF that has Flash Multimedia Elements and I want to require that users with Acrobat 8 or lower to upgrade to Acrobat 9.
I would like to be able to customize/modify this error prompt:
"This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not
support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the
latest version of Acrobat products. Please visit our products site at
http://www.adobe.com/acrobat."
Is this possible to do with the SDK?

You can't customize that message, but you could put up your own via JavaScript at the document level of the PDF.

Sending LC ES Form to those who can't upgrade to Acrobat 9

I am trying to send a form to some folks who only have Acrobat 8. When they try to open it, it prompts them to upgrade to Acrobat 9. Due to computer lock-downs, they can't. How can I get the form to them so that they can open, completed and submit back to me?

In the File/FormProperties/Defaults you have a setting for target version. My guess is that you have that set for version 9. Change it to version 8 and you should be OK.

I just upgraded to Acrobat XI and found that my custom STAMPS are missing.

I just upgraded to Acrobat XI and found that my custom STAMPS are missing. Anyone know how to pull them in from the last version?
Macintosh.
thanks

i'm on a mac and when i search for any of those terms [Annotations, Stamps, ENU] it comes up empty. however, search on a mac is horrible....often doesn't search random folders....really bad.
i've given up and just recreated them.
of course i had an extra hour with nothing to do so that was time wisely spent
thanks much for getting back to me.

Fraud? Action required : Upgrade New Adobe Acrobat Reader

Hello Folks,
Got this strange e-mail regarding an upgrade to Acrobat Reader, Adobe Inc., Canada? Looks fishy, DON'T CLICK [url deleted by host]
Anyone else see this in their inbox, or know if it's legitimate?

Just how much faster can you work with Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader

You'll discover how easy it is to reuse content by exporting PDF files
to Microsoft Word or Excel formats. And how quickly you can automate
multi-step tasks with new, guided Actions. No wonder PC Magazine
says, "There's a lot to like in Acrobat X PDF Reader."

It's not legitimate, and we see this type of thing all the time. Delete the email, don't visit the link, it'll be dealt with by Adobe.
Aside from it being a fake URL, they can't even get the product name right! There is no such thing as "Adobe Acrobat Reader". We have "Adobe Acrobat" and "Adobe Reader".

Upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard from X Pro

I'd like to upgrade to Acrobat XI. I currently have X Pro, when I attempt to purchase from Adobe site, it prompts me to enter my current version, but only lists 9 and X Standard. Can I use the upgrade option to go from X Pro to XI Standard?

Hi SeanAccent,
You cannot upgrade from Acrobat Pro to Standard version. I would suggest to contact Adobe Customer Service team and ask for upsell and they should be able to assist you.
Hope that helps

Upgrade of Acrobat XI Pro to 11.0.7 Repeatedly Crashes

I have had a perfectly workable Acrobat XI Pro version 11.0.6 until this evening, when I was invited to upgrade to 11.0.7. I tried to do so, and received a "Fatal Error" message when then instructed me to uninstall Acrobat, reinstall, and then upgrade. I have my 11.0.0 installation download file, so I did exactly that, whereupon my machine shut down due to an "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error.
I then tried to use the restore point to move the system back to the 11.0.6 version, and now I get a "fatal error" message each time I try to open it.
This is extremely unpleasant for me, since I have a full day of business tomorrow that will require use of Acrobat--and I now have no access to the software.
What is your next brilliant idea?

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience, can you please share the crash dump to help us isolate the issue.
You can get the crash dump by following the below mentioned steps:
1. Install WinDbg from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852365 (Under "Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg)" section)
2. Launch WinDbg via the shortcut
3. Open Command Prompt and type in the following commands:
cd c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86) windbg.exe –I
4. This would launch the WinDbg application for a moment and then show a dialog stating that WinDbg is now your default debugging application. Click OK to dismiss the same.
5. Open Acrobat and do whatever operation that produces the crash \
6. Once Acrobat crashes, WinDbg will launch by itself. When prompted type in the following command in the WinDbg Console:
.dump /ma c:\temp.dmp (Hit Enter)
7. This will create the crash log in C:\ by the name of temp.dmp. Please send it across in a zipped format.
Could you please upload the dump (compress the dump using WinZip or likewise) at some site and provide the link for the same. I will also have a look at the same.
Thanks for your cooperation!!
Regards,
Rohit

Hi Richard,
If you bought an Upgrade then the installer will prompt to enter the previous qualifying version serial number.
If you don't have a record of that you can contact our Customer service and they will help you rerieve the old serial number if you have registered the software with Adobe
else they will help you unlock the Upgrade serial key upon validation.

The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.

I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

Hi Shane,
Please download Acrobat X Pro from the link below.
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
Install the software and when prompted for the previous version qualifying product, select Acrobat 9 and enter the serial key of Acrobat 9.
This should install and activate Acrobat X Pro on the machine.

Can't upgrade from Acrobat X Std to Acrobat X pro

Hello,
I have Acrobat X std I purchased and d/l without problem months ago. Today tried to upgrade from Acrobat X standard to Acrobat X Pro. All seemed well until I ran the installation after downloading the files using the download assistant. The installer window shows Acrobat X Standard in the top bar. It will only accept my old Acrobat X Standard serial number. It will not accept the new activation key or serial number. I have completely uninstalled Acrobat X, gone back to the download area under my orders, and re-downloaded the file. Same thing happens all over again. Of course no support or help on weekend and I leave on a trip tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

OK, I got it loaded. Not sure exactly, but I believe the tricks were to not use their automatic downloarder, delete it from my computer, to select the "overwrite" option when the manually downloaded installer found the previous files (which I had uninstalled, so not sure what the uninstaller left behind....) then of course once it ran, it prompted me for the Standard serial number, since that had been uninstalled. Once I put that in, it all seems to work. Sheesh.

Upgrading to Acrobat Pro XI / Adobe Reader XI and enabling user rights

My company is a little behind on software updates and I'm going to ask for Adobe Reader XI to pushed out company wide since allows the user to save a filled-in PDF form.
Right now I'm using Acrobat Pro X, and suspect I will need to upgrade as well.
My questions are:
With the new-found ability of Reader to finally be able to save a filled in form, how does this effect the "enabling user rights" scenario?
Is it needed if the entire company is using Adobe Reader XI?
I did a test in Adobe Reader XI, and sure enough, I was able to save a filled-in form...BUT, I could not digitally sign the form.
Is this where the enabling user rights is still mandatory?
Or is this because the form was designed in Acrobat Pro X?
Does Acrobat Pro XI work around this?
I know I don't need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI to continue making forms, but should I?
Thanks for your feed back, and I look forward to reading your replies

Thank you, George, for the prompt reply!
I suspected as much, but couldn't find a clear cut answer in my searches.
The tab order update alone has convinced me its worth pushing for the new Acrobat Pro XI.
The update to Adobe Reader XI will make many of our forms easier to get into the digital workflow, and I'm looking forward to getting use further away from a paper-based system

Trouble Upgrading to Acrobat X Pro for Mac

Hi! I have an older version of Acrobat Pro (version 7.0), which was an upgrade to a previous version on my old computer. I'm trying to upgrade to Acrobat X Pro, but can only find my 7.0 original software disk. When I try to install 7.0 on my new computer, the installer keeps looking for a previous version, which I must have purchased 10+ years ago, so of course I can't find the original software box/disks.
How can I upgrade to the new version without my original serial number from two generations ago?
Thanks!

Why bother? Any current version will only require the serial number of the last valid version you have, not all of the previous ones. Just go ahead and install Acrobat X normally. You will be asked to input your v7 serial somewhere along the way...
