Error Deploying Adobe Acrobat X Professional over Standard

A while back I deployed a customized installation of Adobe Acrobat X Standard. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard X to generate a MST file that omits things like speed launch and arm and disables some features in the help menu (like updates, repair, etc.) and deployed the MSI via Group Policy. Everything worked fine, Acrobat X Standard is now on every workstation. Later, we discovered that some users needed the 10.1.1 patch, so we patched some systems as necessary.
Due to decisions out of my control, management has now decided that they want to replace Acrobat X Standard with Acrobat X Professional on all workstations. Great! So I generate another MST with my trusty Customization Wizard and make sure to UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS. When I try to deploy the new package I get an error on each of the patched workstations...so I try to run the setup manually to discover the following error during the installation of Adobe Acrobat X Professional:
Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.
I'm no expert on Adobe, but I do know that management shelled out more money for Professional than they did for Standard and according to the website Pro is more "featured" than standard...so with all due respect, Adobe installer you are WRONG!
I don't want to touch each workstation to uninstall Adobe Acrobat X Standard so I can install Adobe Acrobat X Professional. Can someone please tell me how to get around this installer error please? Some registry key that needs deleting perhaps?
Many thanks in advance,
David Vielmetter

Well, you are attempting to uninstall the same code version of Acrobat X Standard with Acrobat X Pro. That won't work. You say that you purchased an upgrade from Acrobat X Standard to Acrobat X Pro that doesn't sound right either. If you decided to get Acrobat X Pro after already purchasing Acrobat X Standard the process should have been to get the full DVD media or the full ESD (electronic service download) from Adobe of Acrobat X Pro and then destroy or return the old software along with a very long legal form that says you are doing just that process. That's a procurement issue from both ends I would think. Needless to say the correct way would be to get the full media with the full serial number for Adobe Acrobat X Pro from Adobe. Then uninstall Acrobat X Standard from your user machines and then install the full media of Acrobat X Pro.

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Please help - Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Registration Prompt

I have deployed Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional to a few workstations using the Custom Installation Wizard and I randomly get prompted to complete the Registration. I have added the following to my installation but continue to get prompted randomly:
1. Disabled Registration in the Custom Installation Wizard.
2. Placed the registration file in c:\documents and settings\username\app data\adobe\
3. Ran these two reg keys.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\AdobeViewer]
"Registered"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bRegisterProduct"=dword:00000000
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

In any case, any major edition in a PDF file is best done in the original file (the one from which the PDF was produced), creating a new PDF when finished.

Cloud Licensing - Can Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard / Professional both be used on Windows RDS 2012 R2?

We have users that share a remote desktop server, Windows 2012 R2.
We use Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0 standard and professional. Is there a conflict in software or legality for allowing our users both these programs simultaneously on the remote Cloud server? Thanks!

You should probably ask to Adobe, but as license states: "You must have a valid Acrobat software license for every computer that has access to Acrobat software."
Because you predeploy this SW to these devices without user intervation, you must sign in to Adobe Runtimes / Reader Distribution License Agreement.

In AA7, PDF Maker is a plugin for OFFICE 2003 and earlier that is a preprocessor for the printer. It simply provided the essence of PDF Marks that were then processed by Distiller once the printer completed the creation of the PS file. AcroTray was to automate the process by invoking Distiller to process the PS file and create the PDF. The latter fails with Win7, as does the printer itself. I have been successful at installing AA7 on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Win7. However, the installation of an additional PS print driver and the extra steps to create the PDF were necessary.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

Hi
So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

How do you deploy adobe acrobat xi from creative cloud for enterprise?

Hello,
We purchased Creative Cloud Enterprise and our new supervisor wants adobe acrobat on all computers. I downloaded the package through Creative Cloud and used the customization wizard to customize the msi in the exceptions folder just like the instructions said. I followed the steps and deployed it out using Dell Kace. When a user tries to open Acrobat, it tells them they have a trial version and they must register the product. The instructions for the customization wizard said not to put the creative cloud serial number into the customization tool. Is there something I'm missing with deploying adobe acrobat and creative cloud?
Thanks,
Michael

I'm not a CC expert, but I think normally admins configure Acrobat and then deploy everything via the Creative Cloud Packager. Acrobat certainly needs to be licensed, so when you only have a CC license, it's best to deploy in a standard way so that Acrobat get serialized with the license you have.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

We continue to get prompts to buy Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - or enter a serial number - each time we download documents off the internet. When we try to buy the software, we are directed to a website that says Error 404 (or something like that). I also believe we already have Adobe on our computer. How can we open and print Adobe documents from the internet? Thanks, Tracy

For viewing and printing you need only the free Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you haave a valid serial you should be able to install the Acrobat Pro. If you have registered your version you might be able to get the serial, if lost, from your Adobe login.
But Version 8 is quite old there might be some compatibility issues. If you want to buy it, you will be able only to buy the latest version which is at the moment Acrobat Pro X, when you go to Adobe (click on the red icon in the top left corner) you see a link to Acrobat somewhere on the page. There you can follow up to buy that product.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time - why?? Pls help!

Everytime I open a pdf I get the following message...
"Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional".
What does this mean?
I don't have Photoshop. Does that mean I need to get it to be able to look at pdf's?
Is there anything I can just download without having to buy it?
I have also just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0, if that info helps?
Please help, I need to work on a pdf for work due tomorrow!!

Hello,
When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
Please try to do one of the following solutions:
* Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
*Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
Acrobat
Adobe PCD
Adobe PDF
Important: Do not delete these folders.
4. Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
5. Enter your serial number when prompted.
Hope this one could help.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other Suite component before launching Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I do exactly this with not positive result.
