Error message in 'new" Acrobat 5.0

I just installed a new (to me) edition of Acrobat 5.0, running on Windows XP. Whenever I click the desktop icon I get the following message:
You cannot currently view Pdf files from within your web browser due to a configuration problem. Would you like Acrobat to fix the configuration?
If I answer yes, nothing happens.
What is this all about? Can I ignore it?
Is it important, and why?
My principal reason for installing the software was to convert existing Word and Excel documents to Pdf.
TIA

Try FireFox or other browser. You might also try to update IE. Also look at updating AA5 if you have not done so. My AA5 is at 5.0.5. I have IE 7.0.5730.11. The IE may not be the latest since I rarely use it. I just downloaded a PDF to view in the browser and it worked fine in both SeaMonkey (new version of Mozilla), Firefox, and IE 7. I am also running XP, SP3. I have newer versions on other machines. Bill

  • I have Acrobat XI on a PC and have received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server."  Acrobat will not open now.  How do I regain access to the program?

    I have Acrobat XI on PC.  After trying to convert a webpage to PDF, I received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server."  Now, the program will not open.  How do I regain access to the program?

    I have Acrobat XI Pro and have been experiencing all sorts of "freeze ups" with it ever since Adobe released the new Acrobat DC the other week.  I see that an automatic update was pushed down to my Acrobat XI Pro at the same time.  Is this the first issue you have encountered with your Acrobat XI, or have you been having other issues suddenly as well??  Just wondering ...

  • Unable to open .pdf in Firefox 3.6.8 with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Error message is "The Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

    I am unable to open a PDF file in Firefox 3.6.8. Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 is installed. I get the error message "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

    You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • Error message saying "new itunes library"

    downloaded the latest itunes now when i try to open itunes just get error message saying "new itunes library"

    Try this approach:
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If that doesn't work go into the Control Panel for progams and try to repair the iTunes installation, or remove it and then reinstall.

  • Getting more detailed error messages from Adobe Acrobat

    Hi
    Is there a way to get more detailed error messages from Adobe Acrobat reader when he detecs an error in a PDF file?
    My program generates PDF files. There is one that throws an error in Acrobat while GhostScript and Google Chromes PDF Reader display it correctly.
    I wonder where the error is, but the error message is just "expected dictionary", when I hold CTRL and press "OK".
    GhostScript usually gives useful error messages, but it has no error this time.

    More specifically, Acrobat Pro!

    Trying to uninstall Acrobat 6 Pro so it can be reinstalled fails.
    How can I fix these problems?

    Thank you Bill,
    Yeah, of course you are rigt: my AA is a dinosaur... But somehow - and to be quite honest, I don't know exactly how I managed - I CAN make PDF-files now. (?!) I changed some settings in my printing menu and, well... it worked again.
    Thanx anyway for your time and energy to help me. Appreciated!

  • Error message after installing Acrobat 8.1 in Vista

    I bought the Technical Communication Suite in June 2008, and installed it on my old computer, which was Windows XP.
    Now my old computer has died, and I just bought a new Dell Studio with Windows Vista 64 bit. So now I'm trying to install in the new computer. I turned off my virus protection software, and then installed FrameMaker and Acrobat.
     I received several FrameMaker errors which are now resolved, but I still have the following Acrobat error.
    When I open a pdf file, I get a warning that says "A part of the Capture 3d plug-in has been damaged. To fix it you will need to repair the installation of Acrobat. This may have been a result of an anti-spyware application modifying the system's registry"
    That doesn't make sense to me because I had turned off my virus protection before starting the install. I also tried rebooting at various times, but still get that message. However, I AM able to create pdf files, so I'm not sure if they're damaged in some way that I can't see. But even if they're OK, I certainly don't want to see that error message every time I create a pdf.
    Any ideas?
    Gilda Spitz

    Thanks Bill. Sorry it took me so long to reply - today was my first chance to play with your suggestions.
    Unfortunately I still have the error message about 3D not installing correctly. I did several updates to Acrobat 8, getting up to 8.1.6. Then I found an update for Acrobat 9 for VISTA 64 bit (which is what I have) so I tried that too. Still no luck getting rid of the error message.
    I don't think the error message is causing any trouble because my pdfs seem fine, and I don't use the 3D functionalitiy. I thought that maybe I could just disable the 3D functionality, but I can't find a way to do that. Any ideas?

  • Error messages after new MobileMe Calendar upgrade. Solved?

    Quick rundown of what I've been through and how I have solved my problem.
    I have a MacBook running 10.5.6 and I also have Bento 3. Recently Bento (Filemaker) told me that I would have to complete a few steps before upgrading to the new MobileMe calendar. So I followed the steps exactly. (URL: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7846/~/setting-up-bento-for-th e-new-mobileme-calendar)
    After completing the steps. I proceeded to upgrade to the new calendar. Upgraded in less than a minute and then after opening up iCal on my mac & importing my calendars, thats when things started to go wrong. I kept getting error messages on almost every even I have ever created. I could barely even quit iCal due to all the error messages. Also, many of my events werent there after importing and the progress wheel kept spinning. Complete DISASTER! (*Luckily, I made plenty of backups before doing any of this so I was safe*) But Still I had NO iCal!
    I searched and searched and could not find a complete solution. So what I did was the following and so far I believe it could be the solution to all of you guys's problems.
    I followed these instructions on this website (URL: http://answers.makeitwork.com/how-to-reset-ical-on-your-mac-or-how-to-clean-up-y our-ical/) **I followed these exactly**
    They are below:
    +Export any Calendars you wish to retain after you reset by clicking on the Calendar you wish to retain and go to File > Export… > Export…+
    +Repeat the above process for every Calendar you wish to keep. (Make sure you remember where you saved them)+
    +Quit out of iCal+
    +Go to Finder and click on your Home icon to display the Library folder.+
    +Open that folder+
    +Open the Calendars folder in the subsequent window+
    +Delete all the contents within that folder+
    +NOTE: If you open iCal at this point, it will initially appear that you cleared everything. Within minutes, however, everything will come back.+
    +Go to your Utilities folder and open the Terminal application+
    +Enter the following command: rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/iCal+
    +Exit out of Terminal+
    +Open iCal and…Voila! Brand new iCal!+
    But that did not completely work. So before doing this again, I went to my iPhone and quit syncing calendars on my mobile me account. And chose to ERASE every calendar on my iPhone.
    After doing that and repeating the process above, I opened up iCal and boom, it worked. Then after I had the calendars setup the way I wanted on my MacBook, I proceeded to go to Preferences>MobileMe>Sync> and then chose to sync
    I then went to Me.com and checked to see if the calendar was operable and it was 100%. I could do everything like before. Then I went back to my iPhone and just turned Calendar syncing back on in my mobileme preferences.
    This has solved all my problems 100%. Hope this helps someone. Just remember that as long as you created a backup of your Calendar you should be safe.
    -Cody-

    Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
    * I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
    * I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
    If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
    Thanks!

  • Error message after purchasing Acrobat XI software

    About a month ago, I downloaded a free trial of Acrobat Pro XI and recently started getting popup expiration reminders each time I opened a PDF, so I purchased the software today, downloaded and installed it. I have also registered it with Adobe online. Now, every time I open a PDF, I get a popup titled "Serial number upgrade" asking me which product I already own, and requiring a serial number. Since I just purchased Acrobat Pro XI, it should appear on the drop down menu but does not, and when I enter the serial number, I get an error message stating that the "Serial number you provided was valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer." I've been using the same computer the entire time, so why is the software not found, and why can't I use it without this problem occurring each time?
    My expiration reminder also continues to pop up constantly, so I'm wondering why the fact that I've purchased it now hasn't cancelled that out?

    Brad,
    I've checked your order history and the order placed for Acrobat XI is for an upgrade. With this error message you need to enter the serial number for Acrobat X purchased earlier. I've emailed the serial number again to you.
    Thanks
