Error installing Acrobat Reader in Debian SID

Hello,
The postinst script of the .deb package for Acroread 9.1 in my Debian SID gives the following error:
$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -a --configure
Setting up adobereader-enu (9.1.0) ...
dpkg: error processing adobereader-enu (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
adobereader-enu
However, acroread was installed and is working fine.
The error message don't gives any clue to fix the problem. Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this.
We've been trying to reproduce the problem but have been unsuccessful so far.
Could you please do the following:
1. Edit the /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobereader-enu.postinst file and put a 'set -x' before the Which () function.
2. Now run the "LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg -a --configure >output.log 2>&1".
This will generate a file named output.log. Please email the contents of that file to varunk at adobe dot com.
Thanks again,
-Varun

Script Error Installing Acrobat Reader

I'm trying to install the latest Acrobat Reader. I run the 977kb install_reader10_en_mssd_aih.exe. It completes the download, with progress at 66%, when a script error occurs.
The message is "An error has occurred in the script on this page.". Line: 1, Char: 10091, Error: 'ActionLaunchReader' is undefined, Code: 0, URL: http://127.0.0.1:1178/app/_js/adobe.js
What's happening? This seems to me to be a problem with a script at Adobe.com. Is Adobe already working on it?
Thank you.

Many thanks, Claudio. I was having a similar problem trying to download the newer Adobe Acrobat 11 using Firefox 17.0 on a Win XP Pro with SP 3. I kept getting a similar script error message; so I followed the link you gave. I was able to download Acrobat 11 with no problems. You earned a gold star, my friend.

Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than I thought!
Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
Thank you!

I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
How can I post here the install.log file?
Thank you so much!
PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

This often happens if some other installation (e.g. Windows Update) is already running.
Restart Windows, then run the installer before doing anything else.

How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader 11 is removed from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11. also tried:
1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled 2. installed from different locations 3. removed adobe key from
local machine and tried to install

Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines. However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE. Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

Kindly advise.

Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool and reinstall from scratch.

Unable to install Acrobat Reader 9.3.4

What ever I do, Acrobat Reader 9.3.4 installation won't execute. The file would open and process, but thereafter; nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 using Revo Uninstaller just to make sure that there won't be any issues with the latest installation, but no changes. I've tried downloading the latest version via the download site, but no go. Anyone else having similar issues as me? I've checked the forums here and other forums to find a solution, but I'm unable to find any. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Mahalos in advance.

Hi,
I can't install acrobat reader but it seems it's for a different reason from what I'm reading in these posts. When I download it everything seems fine until I try to open it by clicking on the icon or try to read a PDF file. The Adobe reader license agreement pops up, says that I need to accept it before I continue, but there is no accept button!!! I try to scroll all the way down and nothing; there is no accept button!! I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again, same thing. I've tried the link posted in this forum and the same thing happened. It's really getting on my nerves. Can you please please help me?? It just seems so basic, but I'm totally stuck! Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

What is your operating system & version?
If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

Liar Firefox: I have download and install Acrobat Reader 11.0.0 few minutes ago and Firefox still telling lies that Acrobat has in not current version.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.
