Error 1304 updating to Acrobat Standard 7.1.0

Hi All,
I am using Windows Vista 64Bit Ultimate Edition. I have Acrobat 7.0.9 installed.
When I go to install 7.1.0 I get the above error with this additional info:
Error writing to file c:\program files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Verify that you have access to the directory. Sure enough, I do not have write access to this directory.
I have also ran the update "as Administrator" to no avail.
I have also tried to go into the security tab and add the write access but I get an access denied before I start the update.
Any ideas?

I have an Adobe standard 8.0 pdf document that I generated from a MS Word document. It moved over OK and all the links were in place. Now into the Adobe PDF I want to add some in-line images. This also works fine. But I have to use the TEXT tool to add lines to drop the text below the inserted image. This works fine. HOWEVER, the links do not move with the text: a text box and an underline - in blue - remains. They are fixed on the page in their earlier position. I can move the text box outline down to its correct spot, by selecting it and using the move hand, BUT the underline [which is the link] does not move and I cannot figure out how to move it. I can delete the entire link but this puts me in a bad situation as I have hundreds of links that I would have to redo [its an interactive book].
HELP anyone out there.

Kindly share the reasons

This is an ERP Upgrade space and you should consider raising threads in the right space for prompt replies. Next time consider using SAP NetWeaver Administrator space for issues like these. Also you should consider closing your previous thread with the correct answer for future reference.
What I see is a custom job. You should check what the job does and also the trace file of the work process and the consult with the application team or the developer for more information. Unfortunately with that screenshot there is nothing much we can advice you.

Error 1304 - cannot reinstall Acrobat 7.0

All of a sudden I received an error message when 7.0 tried to
update itself ( I assume ). Since I could not eliminate this error
message, I de-installed everything and started to build up again
the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 version and then the update to 7.0. When
updating - installing the 7.0 version it says "error 1304 - kind of
no access to file
..... AcroIE/helper.dll. I am now without this product I paid
for twice (5.0 and update 7.0). Can anyone help ?

Thanks For the Post!!

Error when upgrading from Acrobat Standard X to Pro X

We are installing retail Acrobat Pro X upgrades over OEM Acrobat Standard X (that came on Dell Optiplex 390 systems). We're getting an error message that says "Setup has detected you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate." That of course, makes no sense. How do we resolve this so we can install these upgrades? Thanks.

Further, it looks like we're not the only ones having this kind of issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4110223 - for whatever it's worth.

Error 1304 for adobe acrobat installation

So freakin frustrating. Spend loads of money at Adobe to find that just upgrading installing an older version of Adobe Acrobat completely scrwed up my system and no one is available to help.
it continues giving a 1304 error, VERY FRUSTRATING.
last time i purchase from adobe!
what can be done to unscrew up my system?

Without proper system info and other details we can't know anything. This error is a permissions issue, so something is blocking access to your system drive or at least specific folders.

Updating problem of acrobat standard to 8.1.3.

I tried to update my acrobat standard 8 to 8.1.3. The installation progress was stuck. I terminated the installation and tried again. This time, I received a message saying the installation failed.
What can I do?

Have you installed the previous updates? The updates usually have to be installed in order.

How do I install the PDF printer in Acrobat Standard 10.1.12??

Updated to Acrobat Standard 10.1.12 a week ago and noticed that no PDF printer was installed. How do I install the PDF printer??

Sara,
Yes I’m running Windows 7 (64-bit). I went to the web site and followed the Add Printer instructions. I tried all of the Adobe PDF Converters and I got either one or the other of the two messages in the attached file. I appreciate your help and hope you’ve got other ideas. By the way, I’ve already completely un-installed Acrobat Standard X and reinstalled. No joy. When I got this PC I had to install this version of Acrobat on the machine and I had no problems like this. I have also applied several updates to my original version of Acrobat Standard X and I never had this issue. This issue just came about when I applied the 10.1.12 update. But the un-install and re-install has not fixed the PDF printer issue.
So, hope you’ve got some other magic. It does seem like some needed Adobe software is missing or there is something else on my machine that is impacting the proper installation of the Adobe software pieces (or not allowing some pieces to install).
Thanks for your help,
Nick

Updated from Acrobat 5 to 7, seems to do far less. Need help.

I just "updated" from Acrobat Standard 5 to 7, but I guess I wasted my money. It doesn't seem to do half of what 5 did! Some upgrade!
Ok, now that I've vented, please tell me there's a way to select objects to delete them. I've tried the "Object Data Tool" and the "Select Object Tool," one of which you'd think would do the trick, but no. I tried clicking on the objects, I tried drawing a box around them, it acts as if there's nothing there. It won't select anything.
v7 apparently doesn't allow you to create or edit forms either, which 5 did! How is going backwards an update???

I have Acrobat Standard 7, not pro. But my v5 was not pro, and it did forms.
It also had no problem working with objects, the way this one seems to.
I've uploaded the file to a place where you can have access to it, it's a publication called the Humor Times:

Thanks for taking a look.

Download Acrobat Standard XI

I am getting an error when I download Acrobat Standard XI, it asks for a related product serial number. If I enter the serial number from the online purchase it states it is not valid with the product selected, in the product drop down there is no Acrobat Standard XI.........

it sounds like you downloaded an upgrade which is prompting you for the serial number of the qualifying product.

Updating to Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 Solution to error 1304 in Vista

I have spent considerable time finding a solution to this problem and thought I'd post a new message with the solution.
Sometimes it is very difficult to find real solutions on this site, and "you must fork out megabucks for a new CSx version because we won't make this one compatible in the update.." is not fair nor acceptable. This is a permissions issue and Acrobat does not have the credentials to access the folder it wants to write to. I have had this same issue and have the solution as follows.
Vista protects you by not letting just any program or installer package do whatever it wants. That's why the user 'SYSTEM' does not have the privilege to change what the install wants to do and therefore you get the error and it kicks you to the curb. What you need to do is activate the ADMINISTRATOR account (which is disabled by default) and assign it a password, change ownership of the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 folder to administrator (it's SYSTEM by default), log on as administrator, let the install complete, then log back on as your normal user and undo the account and ownership manipulations. Note that the ownership ONLY needs to be changed on the Acrobat folder.. I have seen other posts that tell you to change the whole Adobe folder, and an article from the Adobe KB telling you to change it on both the Program Files and ProgramData folders, and neither are necessary, nor do they tell you to undo what you did, leaving your system open and vulnerable to other threats.
Solution Steps:
1. Right click Computer on your desktop or in the start menu, choose Manage, and ok the user account control (UAC) prompt. Computer management opens.
2. Expand Local Users and Groups and click Users. Users are shown on the right. Right click Administrator and choose properties. Uncheck the box "Account is disabled" and click OK. Right click administrator and choose "set password", click proceed. Enter any password (this will be undone when finished) and click OK. A password must be set else you cannot log on. Close computer mgt.
3. Open Computer and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0. Right click the Acrobat folder and choose properties. Click the security tab, then the advanced button at bottom, in the adv security settings, click the owner tab. You will see the current owner is SYSTEM. Click edit at the bottom and ok the UAC prompt. Click 'other users or groups', then advanced in the next box. Click 'find now', highlight administrator user (not administratorS group) and OK, then OK again. Now the user administrator is listed in the 'change owner to' list. Highlight administrator and click OK, a message about changing ownership will pop up, just ok it. Ok all the property boxes and close Computer browser.
4. Go to the start menu and log off. You will now see your normal users listed with the administrator user also. Click the administrator user and log in with the password. Acrobat will try to finish it's install.. the error 1304 will not occur because you now have access to the location it wants.. the install completes. Log off and log back on as your normal user.
5. To undo your changes, just reverse the steps, changing ownership of the Adobe Acrobat folder back to SYSTEM. The administrator account has no password by default.. to remove the password, just leave the password fields blank and click ok and it will be 'no password'. Then disable the administrator account and everything is back to the way you started, with Acrobat updated and no more error.
Seems long, but not really that bad, I just put in every little step for the tech-unsavvy.

Acrobat 7 update doesn't work - Error 1304

I'm running Vista Home Premium and trying to upgrade Acrobat Pro 7.0.0 to Acrobat Pro 7.1.1. The update supposedly fixes a security hole and was released yesterday, 03/18/09. Every time I try to run the update, I get "Error 1304: Error writing to file C:\Program Files\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Adobe support (800 8336687) refuses to provide phone support for Acrobat 7 (which seems odd considering they just issued an update), but referred me to article 329117: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329117&sliceId=2
I tried all of the solutions in this article and none of them work. Every time I try to start Acrobat, the install begins again and fails with Error 1304, so the update has effectively destroyed Acrobat Pro.
Somebody please help me!

You have to install the updates in order, not just to the final one. It is probably simplest to go to the Adobe.com > downloads > updates site and look at all the updates. Download all the applicable updates and install them in order.

Acrobat XI Standard Installation Error 1304

I am upgrading from Acrobat 9 to 11. I keep getting stuck at "Error 1304.Error writing to file c:\ProgramData\Adobe\AdobePDF\Distiller\Example Files\RINFILEX.PS Verify that you have access to that directory." I have tried installing as an Admin but that doesn't work. Can someone help me? Thanks

Hi,
This error might be there for different reasons :
1. You actually do noth ave access to this location. You can try visiting this location and manually try to create a file here. You will know if you have permissions.
2. This file is in use by some other process. Please check if any other Adobe application or Acrobat 9 itself might be using it.
3. In case you have some back-up plans / virus scans running then they might be using this file moementarily and hence giving you the error.
4. Best advice would be to reboot your system once and then try install again.
Regards,
Pankhri
