Downloading a free Reader without disrupting Acrobat Pro

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro which i LOVE and use daily.. However, one website i also use everyday requires Adobe Reader plug in to operate correctly. When i downloaded this free Reader a year ago or so, it completely took over and disabled by Acrobat Pro, requiring a long process over the phone to get rid of the Reader and re-install my Pro.. has anything changed so that i can download the free Reader plug-in without it touching my Acrobat Pro?

It is not a public site. One needs to be registered in a particular project to download their pdf, complete the required information and reupload it.. I did not mention that this only happens from my MAC.. i can operate the system just fine on a PC. however, teh PC is old and i use it for nothing else but to access this site.. i would rather be using my MAC.. i cannot tell you what they have done ... but this was the "workaround" they developed for MAC users..  i will try it again, will you be willing to give me your phone number to call in case the same thing happens this time i try to download Reader and it disrupts my Acrobat Pro??????

  • NVDA and JAWS won't read doc in Acrobat Pro and Free Reader correctly!

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to create 508-compliant, accessible PDFs.
    I first created the doc in Word, and, using the Acrobat tab, created a PDF for accessibility purposes, and it prompted me to save it as a PDF. I entered the name and saved, and it automatically opened the PDF version of the doc in Acrobat Pro with the "Make Accessible" tool bar open on the right-hand side.
    I went through the reading order and tagged and organized everything to be in the correct order, and then I filled in the Alt Tags for images/figures. Then I had the system perform an accessibility check. It told me the tags would need to be checked manually, as do the colors, and the title was missing. (I had entered the title and source info, etc. into the document's properties, in accordance with an Adobe Acrobat article I'd read on creating accessible docs. I don't know why the title wasn't being noted.)
    I tested the doc's accessibility with the Adobe built-in reader, and it worked perfectly- everything was read in the correct order in which I'd tagged it- including the alt tags!
    When I tried opening the doc in the free Adobe Reader, however, it wasn't read at all. I then opened my screen readers (one at a time)- JAWS and NVDA- and neither one would read the document, unless I clicked the cursor on a particular part of the text, etc. I need this to read the document- in its entirety- automatically!
    Please help!!

    Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
    BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
    It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner.  Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

    You can save it any where on the hard disk.
    Normally when downloading the default location is your Downloads folder or thr desktop where its easier to trace and run the installer file to install.

    This has happened to me with a few downloads without any upsets.
    You should be OK.
    As I recall the download is around 1.2 gig so it takes a bit of time and effort to get it to your system.

  • Error message intaller file is damaged.  How can I get the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro?

    I am trying to download the free trial of Acrobat Pro and am getting an error message stating that the installer file is damaged.  I have tried on 2 PCs and get the same error.  Is this able to be corrected so that I can trial the program?

    Without knowing anything about your system or your Internet connection we can't really tell you much. This error is on your end - the connection drops out or the files get damaged when saved to disk. Try another browser and check your Internet.

  • My daughter has been trying to buy 78 games on the app store but didn't know the password. Now it won't let me download any free apps without entering my billing info, I don't want to in case it charges me for the games? Is there any way I can clear them

    Hello all

    Only issue is its now wanting me to enter billing info when I download a free app

    How can I get a prepaid iTunes card? 
    Buy one from the Apple Store or retailer who sells them. Since you don't say where you are, I can't tell you specific store names. 
    How much is it? 
    They're issued in denominations. In the US, they start at $10. 
    what would be the procedure for me to pay that money I owe, since I dont have another credit card?
    Redeem a prepaid card or gift certificate.
    Your only other option would be to contact the iTunes Store, explain the problem, and ask if they'll cancel that 99-cent purchase. There's no way of knowing if they will since the terms of sale state that all sales are final, but you can ask. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to contact them.
    Regards.

  • PDFs open with reader instead of Acrobat Pro

    OS: WinXP
    A/Reader version: 9.3.4
    A/Acrobat Pro version: 7
    Issue:
    PDFs open in the Reader and not in Acrobat Pro.  I changed the File Association to open them with Acrobat Pro and it works fine for the rest of the day, but when I log in the next day it reverts back to opening in A/Reader again.  This is an issue because of the way we have to access the PDFs at work, from within IE on a server.
    Someone at work thought there might be a registry hack needed to fix this.  I have looked at the registry entries for Reader and Pro, but there's nothing obvious to me.
    One other thing that I have not tried as yet is to log in as Administrator and select (tick) the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option.  Maybe it might seem obvious that this is what's needed, but it was working fine prior to last week.  The tick is greyed out when logged in as a 'normal' user, but the tick is on too.
    I guess someone will suggest I do this anyway and see if it resolves the problem, before looking at the registry.  :-)
    Many thanks in advance for all suggestions.

    Mostly you will get the suggestion to remove one or the other from your system and repair or reinstall the remaining application. It is not a recommended or supported configuration having both.
    Another suggestion is to reinstall Acrobat Pro. That works for about 4 out of 10 people.
