Further Adobe Pro 8 problems

Here are some further problems I have encountered with Acrobat, after upgrading from CS2 Design to CS3 Design Premium.
In addition to Acrobat 7 refusing to launch unless an administrator's password is typed in, now Safari will not open PDF files inline if Adobe Acrobat is the default PDF reader.
We also have a copy of Acrobat Pro 8.0.0 that keeps crashing. The icon appears, the arrow appears, but it crashes even before a splash screen appears. Well, how about updating the software. Great idea!
So I found the Acrobat updater at Adobe's website. Well, when I launch the updater, it asks which version of Acrobat to upgrade, and when I try and select Acrobat 8 to update, it refuses to select it, as if it doesn't exist (or it isn't Acrobat).
I then go through CS3's updater. It sees updates for programs like Camera RAW, Illustrator, Bridge, etc., but no updates for Acrobat Pro. Odd.... It seems like it just doesn't even see Acrobat is on the system.
I even went through the process of reinstalling just Acrobat. Still no luck, Acrobat 8 still crashes.
Any help?

Acrobat 8 constantly crashed after we installed it. We re-installed and it still crashed: the icon appeared, the arrow appeared, and then it crashed a few seconds afterwards. We updated the software but still the same. Finally, my boss suggested this solution:
1) Go to the upper right corner of your screen and click on the other "User" window. If you don't have one, create one.
2) Launch Acrobat 8; then in the Menu, go to Help > Check for Updates. A window might pop up stating the problem. Do the repairs it suggests.
3) Do any updates still necessary, then quit out of Acrobat.
4) Go back into your user window and launch Acrobat.
Our problem was that one of the preference folders of my "User" had a file conflict. The other "User" was cleaner since it wasn't worked with as much, so it didn't have any conflicts. And our PDFs print fine -- both single- and multiple-page files. Not sure if this will work for you, but it solved our problem.

  • Printing Problems with Adobe Pro 9.5.5

    I have started having a problem printing PDF files from adobe pro 9.5.5. Now every time I try to print to any of my printers, adobe opens the standard print dialog window, but instead of printing to the printer, it wants to write a *.pm file as if I have asked to print to file. When the problem started I was at version 9.4.4. I have since updated to version 9.5.5 without any correction to the printer problem. I have adobe reader version 11 and I can print the file from it without a problem. What gives?

    I assume that in both cases you are talking about Reader and not Acrobat. This is the Acrobat forum. The link to the Reader forum is at the top of this forum. There is no program called Adobe, only the company name.
    If I had a clue, I would make a suggestion, but I don't. It may be something that Reader users have run into. A few here have AA9 and might respond if they have had problems, but I have not heard of any such problems.

  • Problem with Adobe Pro and Reader on terminal server

    Hi,
    We have have a Terminal Server environment with Adobe Pro and Reader. We have security for Adobe Pro, so only certain user has access to Adobe Pro and all users has access to Adobe Reader.
    Some users receive many email with pdf's attachments in Outlook and need to print these attachments. They use the Outlook function to print email and attachment automatically. The users who has access to Adobe Pro can print attachment automatically with no problem.
    The problem is user who only have access to Adobe Reader. The user can't print attachment automatically with the email, only the email is printed. But, they can open attachment and print with Adobe Reader. But, it's impossible to open each attachment because there are so many.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    So if I understand correctly,
    1. You have installed Acrobat Pro & Reader on a Terminal server.
    2. You have created a security group in your Active Directory Users & Computers for users having access to Acrobat
    3. You have set permissions on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe on the terminal server and provided access only to the security group created above.
    4. Users are accessing the Terminal server through RDWeb or connecting remotely through MSTSC (RDP) or using a .RDP file
    5. Users get emails with PDF attachments and print the mail directly without opening the PDF in Reader.
    Users check the box to print the attachments with the mail (see snapshot below):
    Some questions:
    1. What is the OS and platform (x86 or x64) of the terminal server?
    2. What are the versions of Acrobat & Reader on the terminal server?
    Thanks,
    Vinod

  • Printing problem Adobe Pro X from Excel 2003

    I produce a number of reports each month using Excel 2003 and printing/converting them to PDF documents.  All were nicely formatted and printed perfectly and reliably using Adobe 5.0 (ancient I know).  I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro X.  Now what once printed nicley only prints part of a page - about the right 1/3 is not showing.  Even when selecting "fit to 1 page wide and 1 page tall" in excel page setup doesn't fix the problem.  Changing the BINDING setting in Adobe doesn't fix the problem either.  Previously I selected Adobe Writer from my printer listing which I understand has been discontinued.  Now my only option is Adobe PDF.  Any suggestions?

    Interesting. My approach would
    1. Try on a different system if available. If still bad...
    2. Try to create a simple test application with CreateDC and StartDoc, and really nothing else not absolutely needed.
    Test that.  If it is good, look for other problems in your application (e.g. memory overwrite).
    If your little example is still bad, post it here and other people can try and compare your results.

  • How to install Adobe Pro through GPO?

    I currently install several pieces of software for our users through Group Policy, and would like to do the same with Adobe Pro for specific computers.  I created a AD group that has the machines I want Adobe installed.  I have the install files, and our license key, and ran msiexec /a AcroPro.msi and picked a folder to store the install too.
    But when I boot up one of these machines, it "seems" like it goes through the process, but when I log in, I don't see any evidence that Acrobat Pro has been installed.
    I've noticed that if I run the MSI manually it asks me which program should be default, Reader or Pro...... is this causing a problem when installing through the GPO?
    What's the best way to proceed with this?????  I went through the procedures listed http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf but am still having problems.....
    Thanks.

    The cause of problem is something else.
    If you have reader installed on your machine and then if you deploy Acrobat via GPO then Acrobat would get installed and also become the default application for viewing PDF files.
    How are you specifying the serial number while deploying via GPO?

  • Adobe Pro 9.0 crashes on menu button clicks in Citrix

    This bug is occuring while using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 using Citrix MetaFrame Presentation server as a remote application. I have already posted this on the Citrix forums, but it might be worth a shot posting here to see if anyone can help.
    This may sound like an oddball problem, and it is, but Adobe Acrobat 9.0  crashes whenever you click on any of the quick menu options. We have  found a few ways around this issue, but some of the features eventually
    bring you to a command that as soon as you click on it, the program crashes.
    There is no error message, the program just disappears. I am able  to run Adobe Pro just fine on the console, with all of the buttons  working normally. But when accessed through the MetaFrame Presentation Server, it seems like the connection isn't functioning at 100%. Sometimes even right-clicking on a certain box will close the program.
    One specific example, (the reason I can no longer dodge the problem) is the "Combine PDFs" feature. Obviously, clicking the "Combine" menu button will crash the program. But the same action is accessible  through the file menu. However once you have that command open, the  "Add File" button is the only way to select which files you wish to  combine, and this button crashes the program. Now that I have no choice  being that there is a feature our users need but cannot use, I am  posting this question because my need is dire.
    I have done many hours of research on this issue, and haven't had any luck. I've already tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Pro, making sure it has the latest updates, etc. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

    frstrsystemI make a fix, here it is:
    1) I launch acropro 9 on the server, I go to the view->toolbars->tasks menu to  the "tasks" toolbar (which cause the crash).
    2) on the server, run regedit and go to current user\software\adobe\adobe acrobat\9.0 and export this hive on a file like acrobat9_user.reg
    3) create a acro9pro.cmd file with
    regedit /S n:\scripts\acrobat9pro_user.reg
    @start "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\" Acrobat.exe
    save this file on the server
    publish your app and call the CMD instead of the acrobat file
    trick; you can map drive into the cmd so that user can access network shares and not only the server on.

  • Shared review not working for me in Adobe Pro 9

    Suddenly, I'm not able to do shared reviews in Adobe Pro 9.5.5 on my Mac, OSX. I have been doing shared reviews successfully for the last several months. I deleted some preferences files recently and may have accidentally deleted an important Adobe preference file, but I'm not sure, and am not sure if this has to do with my current problem. Now I download shared review files that are emailed to me, open them in Acrobat, and nothing happens--no indication that this is a shared review file. My colleagues don't have any problems with the same files, and I am connected to the server we use. I can participate in a shared review with the same files if I open them in Adobe Reader XI.
    Any ideas? Thanks! 

    I've been having the exact same problem today and yesterday, and I've been doing shared reviews for years. I am definitely logged in, I've checked every setting that I can think of, rebooted my computer, logged in and out and in and out, still nothing. Adobe: Did you guys make some changes? Everyone where I work has definitely noticed the occasional Acrobat server hiccups, but this time, my problem is exactly as described above: My colleagues on the shared review are able to see the shared review, but mine just comes up as any other pdf file. Adobe: Can you shed some light onto what's going on? It's frustrating!!

  • I have Adobe Pro 9 and I can't insert pages into a PDF created by Adobe Pro 8

    I've looked at the other discussions about not being able to insert pages into a PDF, and tried all the suggestions, but to no avail. I think the problem is that the original PDF was created in Adobe 8, and I have Adobe 9. When I open the PDF in Adobe Pro 9, the security screen says that editing is not allowed, and the screen is greyed out so that I can't change the settings. When I open the same PDF in Adobe Pro 8, the security screen says "No Security". 
    I also checked the "Documents" screen in Edit -> Preferences, and changing the "View Documents in PDF/A" to Never doesn't help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    That would be a question for Adobe support. Firefox does advise users when their Acrobat plugin is out of date, but the actual update is done by Adobe.
