Error 1325 installing any version of Acrobat Reader

I have cleaned up my system using the recovery tools supplied with my computer. OS is an XP updated to SP 3. The recovered system included an install of Acrobat Reader 6.0. I tried to update to version 7.0 using the Readers own update-function. The installer/updater gave me this mysterious error right away when, I think, it was still unpacking files: "Error 1325.Documents is not a valid short file name."
The same happened when I tried to uninstall the same Reader 6.0. And it happened again as I was trying to install 8.0 manually and the same with installing the new 9.0.
I somehow got my hands on Acrobat cleanup utility, I ran it, but I was still not able to uninstall version 6.0. I ran also Windows' own registry cleanup utility, deleting all registries of Reader 6.0. That, probably, worked and Reader 6.0 was disappeared from the list of programs (Add/remove programs). Afterwards I was able to delete all visible files of Acrobat Reader 6.0: from Program Files, Common Files and Documents and Settings\Application data.
No sight of Acrobat Reader 6.0 on my computer but still the problem persists when trying to install newer versions, eg. Reader 9.0 reports the error just a second after the installer is launched.
What to do? Where to start?
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi!
Today, I tried installing Reader 9.0 again and it worked! The error is gone! I can see no particular reason.

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

    hi there
    try the vi
    ..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
    it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

  • PDF Forms - Which versions of Acrobat / Reader do they work in?

    I'm trying to persuade a client to start using pdf forms that I've created in the latest Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    I've tested the forms using Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on the Mac. The two versions work differently but I've come up with a work-around solution that means I can give the same advice to users of both versions of Reader.
    But I could do with knowing if pdf forms work in earlier versions of Acrobat / Reader? Macs & PCs?
    And if they don't work, what sort of warning will come up on screen? Ie. Will it say that they need to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader and give a link? - which would be good! Or will some other error message come up that will just cause confusion?
    Has Adobe published any advice anywhere?

    The Forms Creation where you use filliable forms that can be saved and attached to email, (500 returns max - using the Advanced > Extend Features in Reader). Works also in version 7 or reader. Nothing below 7 will work.

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    Since you don't say why it won't install, here is what I have found to work on a Vista machine, 32-bit:
    Download but do not install iTunes file from Apple site
    Stop anti-virus and firewall
    Restart computer
    Login as Admin
    Run iTunes installation
    Turn anti-virus and firewall on
    Restart and login as regular user
    Vista likes to leave a lot of installers running in the background even when they finish and that interfers with the iTunes installer.

  • Issues with newer version of Acrobat Reader

    I'm not looking for advice or a fix for this problem. I'm simply posting it so that hopefully, the folks at Adobe will get a clue & take the issues with their software seriously. The real fix here is for them to quit ignoring bugs in their software and correct the code. Anyway...
    In the most recent versions of Acrobat Reader (looks like specifically to X & XI), it seems to be hit or miss as to whether Reader will open PDF attachments in Outlook email. Typically, when I double-click on a PDF attachment, nothing happens. An instance of AcroRd32.exe is created as a process (which hangs), but the PDF file doesn't open. If I make the mistake of double-clicking on the file again, another instance of AcroRd32.exe sucks up more of my system resources. This will occur for each time I double-click on the attachment. Sometimes I get lucky, and it will open the PDF file. Sometimes, if I right-click on the attachment and select open, it will do so. Most times, it just does the same thing as double-clicking.
    I've scoured the forums, searched online... Lots of people have reported this or similar problems. Solutions have been offered up, which don't work for most users. etc., etc., etc.
    It's just like the issue that Adobe has had for years with Acrobat - The software is notorious for remaining in memory as a process, long after you've closed the PDF file you opened. And likewise, for each PDF file you open, yet another instance of the software loads into & consumes memory.
    Adobe has had problems like this for years. They never have taken it seriously, they never choose to fix it.
    So, as I said in the beginning of the post - I'm not looking for a fix. I came up with my own fix - I deleted version XI, located an old copy of 9.4 & installed it.
    Nope, I'm not looking for solutions or support. I simply wanted to ***** about it.
    Doubt Adobe will even notice the post, and if they do, they'll just operate like they always have... Hope that their sloppy code just magically fixes itself.

    This is a user forum, and not the place to file bug reports to Adobe.  So you are right: your post won't be noticed by the Acrobat developers.  Nor would it give them enough information to reproduce the problem.
    P.S. I never had a problem opening Outlook attachments with Adobe Reader.  If I had, I would start by disabling Protected Mode, which is the most common cause for a multitude of problems in Adobe Reader.

  • Can't install any version of Safari for my Dad

    I'm visiting my dad, and trying to get Safari installed for him. Somehow he managed to trash it - we're not sure how. Now I can't install any version of Safari. 1.x is too old. He's running OSX10.4.10 so 2.0.1 doesn't work either. I really don't even want to put 3 on here - he's a very basic user and doesn't need beta headaches.
    The only disks we have are the system disks ... do I have to reinstall an old version of system to get Safari working for him?

    Hi
    Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
    Steps to take in addition to the Apple article:
    Move the Safari.pkg file in the HD>Library>Receipts folder to the trash.
    As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move the Safari Folder, found in the User Library to the Desktop. It has the personal bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
    Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on the installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari updates appear. If not, reapply the 10.4.10 combined update to bring Safari up to the current version.
    Repair permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when you are finished.

  • I had firefox4.0 installed in my PC. There was a glitch in the browser so I uninstalled it and now when I am trying to re-install any version of firefox, I am unable to.

    This is the message that I see when I try installing any version of Firefox:
    Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Which versions of Acrobat reader supports embedded Flash content?

    I was wondering which versions of Acrobat supports Flash files (or Flash content) that might be found embedded within PDF files?
    Specifically, does version 6, 7 or 8 have this capability?

    The wikipedia entry for Adobe Acrobat says this regarding Acrobat reader version 9:
    "Insert FLV (Flash) or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader."
    The way I read that, it says that the ability to handle pdf files with embedded flash content was introduced with Acrobat reader version 9, and did not exist in earlier versions of Acrobat reader.
    So are you sure that older Acrobat reader versions (specifically, version 6) is capable of correctly handling flash content embedded within a pdf file?
