Acrobat 7 Pro has worked fine all week, and today - boom!
Receiving the following error messages:
1st Error Window
"There was an error while loading the plug-in "updated.api". The plug-in failed to initialize.
2nd Error Window
" The instruction at "0x221231c4" referenced memory at "0x0000004c". The memory could not be "read"
Tech support no longer supports this version over the telephone and I don't have the funds to upgrade right now.

I can't launch Acrobat Pro 9.0 (OS 10.6.4). Need Help.

Hi:
1. I have acrobat pro 9.0 ( I haven't updated it) and it was working fine until several days ago, when I updated the OS to the current 10.6.4.   Prior to that, it was working fine with the prior version of snow leopard etc...
2. Now, when I try to launch acrobat pro, I just get this message saying that acrobat quit unexpectedly.    I figured that I needed to update acrobat pro, I downloaded the current update, but when I go to update the original application, I can't do it because the icon for acrobat pro is greyed out (hopefully this makes sense).     Furthermore, I can't update acrobat pro by launching the application and having the software updater figure out what is needed... because I can't launch the program in the first place.
3. Does anyone know what in the world is going on?   From all of the variables, it's obvious that there's some issue with acrobat pro 9.0 and OS 10.6.4, but I can't figure out how to update the acrobat pro 9.0.
Any thoughts / help, much appreciated. Harry

Since you have already downloaded all the patches starting from 9.1 to 9.3.4, i would sugg
est a little longer route but this might solve your problem.
1. Create a new admin account say admin1
2. Log out from the current admin account and login as admin1(the new admin account)
3. Now update Acrobat 9.0 to 9.3.4
4. Now if you want you can logout and login into the original admin.
Hope this solves your problem.

"Internal error occurred" when launching Acrobat Pro X (AAMEE 3.1.150.0)

AAMEE 3.1.105.0 generated packages run fine when pushed to Macs that do not have an existing previous version of CS.
However, if pushed to a Mac that has CS4 installed, CS6 installs but Acrobat Pro X will not launch ("Internal error occurred").
We are using the latest Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer DMGs from licensing.adobe.com and we are following the standard workflow.
I know Adobe's position is "We don't recommend or support concurrent installs of Creative Suite" (I get that).
Since OS X lacks package management (ala Yum, RPM, etc.), the term "Uninstall" is vague, but we appreciate Adobe's "cleaner tool".
Unfortunately the "cleaner tool" is only marginally effective, it leaves a mess behind.
And...when "cleaner tool" is used to remove CS4, it whacks CS6.
Wait...it gets worse...when "cleaner tool" is used, we now can't push our CS6 package to the Mac...we get...<drumroll>..."Internal error occurred" when launching Acrobat Pro X.
Someone shoot me...please put me out of my misery.
Why can't deploying CS6 be as simple as...

OK, we resolved the issue. Apparently there was a ~/Library/ColorSync folder present, not owned by the logged in user, and the logged in user had no access. Given OS X's domain model, it looks like Acrobat Pro X looks at that folder when it launches, even though it doesn't need to, and it can't get into it, so it tosses up the error.
Removing the folder (since it's not needed) resolves the issue. If the folder was needed, we would change ownership and permissions so Acrobat Pro X could access it.
Problem solved.
Thanks,
Don

Hey. I have a problem. I updated my mac os x to 10:8 for I can not start Acrobat Pro, which I bought six months ago. Proglamet says that the computer does not support Power PC. Help

Hey. I have a problem. I updated my mac os x to 10:8 for I can not start Acrobat Pro, which I bought six months ago.
Proglamet says that the computer does not support Power PC. Help
When I try to start it says (program "Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional.app" can not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.)
Please help

The version of Acrobat you have is a PowerPC application and will not run on Mountain Lion. You will need to upgrade/purchase an Intel version of Acrobat Pro, probably Version 9.
It might have been worth checking to see if the apps you run are supported on ML before upgrading. If you backed up your system before the upgrade you could always revert to your previous level.

Hey Albert,
Could you please tell me which Acrobat and OS version are you using?
Have you tried signing in with a different web browser?

Can't install Acrobat Pro

A few months ago I got the Creative Cloud 1 month Free trial, and I downloaded a bunch of apps: Acrobat Pro, ID, PS, Dw.
This morning I bought the 1 year membership, but when I try to launch Acrobat Pro, it says that my trial cloud membersip has expired. So, I uninstalled it, but the Adobe Application Manager still says that it is "Installed". And it was giving me the same message for the other apps as well: "Installed" but I couldn't launch them without getting that error message.
So, I unsintalled ID from my computer and re-installed it from the App Manager. I then was able to launch it and I can use it, no problem; I can also use Dw and PS. But for Acrobat X Pro it says that it is "installed", so I can't download it (or use it, as I unistalled it).
I've re-started my computer but to no avail.
I'm on a Mac, OS 10.6.8.
Anybody knows what's happening?
Thanks.
Rene

OK, i've fixed it.
Navigated to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
And in "Adobe Installers" folder the Acrobat X Pro was still listed. I double clicked on it and it uninstalled again, and now it is listed correctly in the App Manager as "uninstalled".
Everything is good.

Can't select Acrobat Pro for update 8.1.2

Hi Everyone,
I'm fairly new to this forum, and so far I've found it helpful. I'm a graphic design student and recently got CS3 Design Premium. I'm running OSX Leopard, and every time I try to update Acrobat Pro 8, the updater asks me to select my copy of Acrobat for update. The problem is, I go into Apps to select it, but it won't let me... it's grayed out. I can open the Acrobat folder, but I can't select the actual program. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Cannot select the Acrobat 8 program to update it.
Also, when Acrobat 8 runs it's automatic updater, it gives me this error message: "Cannot overwrite file /Users/myuser/Documents/Updater5/AdobeUpdater/acrobat8pro-EFG/AUMProduct.dmg. The file may be locked or you may not have sufficient access rights. Please make sure you have write access to this fie."
I checked the directory and I have write access to everything in it.

CS5.5 Deserializes if you launch Acrobat Pro X

I have packaged up Design Premium CS 5.5 using Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition. I have entered my volume serial while creating the package. I have then deployed Design Premium and Acrobat Pro X using SCCM.
The Suite deploys successfully and if I then launch Photoshop as my first application everything is sweet. The issue occurs if I launch Acrobat Pro X as my first application. This casues the rest of the Design Premium suite to deserialize and I am then prompted to re enter my serial when launching any other CS application other than Acrobat Pro X.
Any help would be appreciated as I have this to deploy to 2500 machines.
Thanks,
Gary

Been like that for as long as I can remember even for single licenses. Not the answer you wanted to hear I'm sure.
I think the same thing happens when launching Bridge first.

Internal Error 2753 Updater.api Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

I'm getting an error while trying to install Acrobat Pro 9 saying:
"Internal Error 2753 Updater.api"
I don't have any other version of Acrobat installed in XP Pro sp2.
I have seen suggestions on this for version 8 to use the installer instead.
I haven't found the download link to the msi file for Acrobat Pro 9.
It really would be nice if they fixed the problem since it was happening in 8 also.
Thank you,
Docfxit

This is for a different version of Acrobat, but it might help:

Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5. How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
I went to the "Acrobat Uninstaller.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder and double clicked it.
The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
I manually selected the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9 a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
"Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
Thank you for any help.

I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
Can you help?

I can't activate Acrobat Pro license

Hello
after the inconveniences and the impossibility to connect and sync my documents with Creative Cloud Connection, now it is the turn of Acrobat Pro to giving me trouble.
I can't activate Acrobat Pro license, so I can't use it.
After launching Acrobat Pro, a blank page that should contain the license agreement appears, but the button for accepting the license doesn't work. I have deinstalled and reinstalled several times the application without success.
Thank you to explain me how to resolve this problem.

Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?

Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9? My former PC ran on Windows XP and this new PC runs on Windows 7. I don't want to shell out another $449 when Acrobat Pro 9 worked fine for me.

You might be able to install Acrobat 6 for this purpose, but you probably won't have to. When you install Acrobat 9 Upgrade it should (if I remember right) ask for the serial number of your "qualifying" product and at that point you put in the Acrobat 6 serial.
