How can I do Acrobat separate install from CS3

Hi, I previously posted in the Acrobat windows forum but realise here would be better.
I want to install Acrobat from CS3. Remembering past difficulties (couldn't remember exactly what) I thought I'd get instructions before rather than after problems. But eventually thought how hard can it be. Well....
Story so far - Fresh xp install, installed CS3 choosing only Acrobat, seemed to go fine but won't let me open unless I install other program/s.
I don''t want them. Have switched to other graphic apps, and am happy with them and don't want the adobe octopus again on my nice clean machine.
So uninstalled, and instead installed Acrobat 7 standalone till I can sort this.
Possible option, download Acro9 and use my old serial from when I had the full CS3 loaded? Would this work?  I just feel ripped off at the moment. Using an outdated version, when I have a perfectly good newer one doing nothing, only because I choose my own applications thanks.
And another thing (raving now) a warning under the so called setup options that this would happen loading Acro alone might have saved a whole lot of time and reboots.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks so much Bob, (even if I didn't want to hear that!) I would've considered one other, but already, almost immediately I have started having insufficient resource errors. I don't know why. I run very resource heavy apps simultaneously without a hitch normally. Now it happens when I try to open one extra window or copy a few files with nothing else running. Ah, these things were sent to try us.
Thanks again anyway.

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,

  • How can I stop Acrobat 9 Pro from closing itself?

    I recently installed a trial of the CS4 Master Collection. I already had a copy of Acrobat 8 Standard installed on my computer, during installation it said that my version would be upgraded. However, now, when I open Acrobat 9, after about 10-20 seconds, a window pops up with the title bar as 'Adobe Nameless Application' that asks me to accept the End User License Agreement. If I do so, or click Cancel, this window as well as Acrobat close. If I click Decline, then it takes me to another screen where my only options are Back and Quit.
    How can I stop this from happening, or at least get Acrobat 8 back?

    You can remove the trial, run the CS 4 Cleanscript.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove any vestiges of Acrobat and then re-install Acrobat 8.
    However, before doing that you might try to run the licensing repair tool:

  • How can I initiate dual boot install from a CMD window...?

    Laptop hardware meets sys req for Win 10 and currently runs 8.1
    Samsung RV-511-S01UK
    i3 380M @ 2.53Ghz
    6GB RAM
    Discrete Nvidia 315M 1GB dedicated VRAM
    Having first tried 10 inside a VM... and it looks ok.... time to try it on real hardware instead of the restricted emulation.
    I'm attempting to clean install and create a DUAL_BOOT on prepared partition
    ISO downloaded direct from the correct link (SHA-1 checked) 
    USB... or DVD... installer created with the MS installer tool. 
    ALL attempts to install by booting from either installer medium, trying builds 9926, 10041 and 10049 (64 and 32 bit), end before they start....... the process stops completely at the very first screen.... the logo screen.... the indicator dots beneath
    the logo screen which appear as standard to 'indicate' that a 'process' is happening in the background NEVER appear... even after an 8 hour wait in one instance.
    Even if I follow the install instructions supplied on the download page here instead of booting direct:
    5. Double-tap or double-click setup.exe from the installation media, and then follow the steps.
    it gets to a point within the process and has to restart.... then it stops as soon as the logo screen appears just as it does when I try and boot from the created installers.
    There seems to be a problem at the Windows logo screen which halts the entire installation process !!! It suggests a BIOS/Win 10 conflict, but only one way to really find out..... process log...?
    The only way to discover where the error lies is to observe the process happening as it happens in real time (if that's possible) or create log file of my attempt.... from within a CMD window...? Unfortunately I don't know the language of CMD code
    well enough.
    I would like someone to assist with the correct code on how to initiate the install from within a CMD window so that I can see the process happen in real time within the window and therefore observe exactly where the instruction is failing.... but
    as stated if running a CMD during install is not possible then a saved log file to refer to after fail and reboot into 8.1
    This should make it easier to define the problem and as such discover the solution
    If someone can supply the code it would be very helpful..... if no-one here knows I'll pop over to the Linux forum and ask one of the people there after setting up Ubuntu with a spare partition for the Win 10 TP
    cheers

    Hi base1268,
    Can you find the following log files when you reboot into Windows 8.1?
    C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log 
    C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log
    C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log
    Actually, for current situation, I suggest you use native boot to try Windows 10 Technical Preview：

  • How can I click Acrobat Form button from VB (Excel Macro)?

    I may be asking in the wrong forum, but I'm at my wit's end and think just about anyone with VB experience would be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is there a forum for interapplication/ VB/ forms questions?
    Suffice to say, I know very little about VB (or any of the other languages behind the software), but I've adapted code which has allowed me to get almost everything I need done, thus far.
    I'm trying, desperately, to finalize a Macro which enables me to export a lot of Excel info into individual Acrobat Forms and save them all independently. This all works fine, but there is one last thing I've not been able to accomplish: I need to remote click (or 'focus on') a button in the Acrobat form in order to select the icon button (dynamically set image relevant to each individual form, base on excel cell). The button's name, in Acrobat, is 'Photo1' and it is located on the 3rd page of the form. I've several SendKeys commands in order to save each file with a unique, row specific name.
    Option Explicit

    I'm pretty sure one of many issues is that I don't know the fully-qualified name of the field/button, or how to properly identify it in the Macro.
    I have no doubt that my approach, if it's even possible, is clumsy and unfounded, but I am (obviously) flailing around for anything that can achieve clicking this confounded button. Any help appreciated.

    It was a button option - I haven't got access to Acrobat 8 here at home, but it was something like
    Add menu item
    File - attach to email
    When the button was clicked, the email application would open with a new email and the PDF would be attached, so you could enter the recipients email address and send.

  • How can I move my keyword list from cs3 bridge into cs5 !

    I am tring to move my keyword list from my old vista computer runnung CS3 into
    my new windows 7 computer with CS5.

    You should not have to do this.  Keywords are stored on the image and should be there on both versions.
    If one wants to moove the whole list and not wait for all the files to be re-indexed, it is is user/app data/roaming/adobe/bridge or something close to this.

  • How can we disassociate an Apple ID from a set of computers formated from a single computer using Carbon Copy Cloner and a single image and then Migration Assistant to install their old profile? The original ID is the Apple ID for all the stores.

    Here is a bit more detail.
    We were replacing old teacher machines and wanted to do it as efficiently as possible. Therefore, we set up one computer, through the OS installation and ran all updates, and then made a disk image so that we can use Carbon Copy Cloner to image all the other computers without having to run all the other updates. Once they were set up to a base level and assigned to a teacher we used Migration Assistant to import all their old files and items. Everything has been fine until recently the computers became aware of needing an update for one or two apps. The machine asks for the original computer's Apple ID for all updates. We have logged out of the apple id and back in with another to test if running the updates will work with that Apple ID and even after a refresh it still asks for the other Apple ID. How can we disassociate the Apple ID from those other computers so that the individual who owns the original is not needed each time there is an update or has to give out their Apple ID password?

    There are two parts to this:
    1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
    2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

  • How can i remove a hybrid mbr from my system drive so that Efi booted windows will install.

    Hi,
    i have just clean installed OSX lion on a freshly wiped drive in my macbook pro, using a bootable lion installer usb i used disk utility to partition my drive into a mac and a windows partition under the GPT/GUID partition scheme, i then proceeded to install lion onto the mac partition, and completed the set up, All Good...
    so i plug in my Windows 8 EFI Boot USB stick (Notice, EFI boot here, NOT BIOS EMULATION BOOT), shutdown and power on the mac and proceed to the boot picker by holding option, So far so good, the usb key is recognised and the system boots into the Windows Setup in EFI mode, Enter product key, accept terms and so on, Now i select my Windows partition and windows Says That it cant install to Partition 4 (EFI Partiton, OSX Lion, Lion recovery, Windows), It says that it can only install to a GPT / GUID based disk as expected...
    Why is there a protective MBR on my drive when i didnt add one, and i have not even touched bootcamp assistant...
    How can i remove this Protective MBR from my drive so that my disk is PURE GPT so windows can install?
    hours of googling has turned up nothing...
    System:
    Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009
    Mac os: OSX Lion
    Version of windows trying to install: Windows 8 Release Preview 64 bit in EFI Mode

    Alexander, I would like to apologize for the TERRIBLE answers you have been given so far.  I too had this question, and so here is what my thoughts are, as maybe they might provide insight in leading you towards the answer.
    I am a *nix user in general, and thus own a mac and a thinkpad.  In fact I just got my thinkpad not too long ago.  As such, I transfered my faster hard drive to my faster computer, which made logcal sense to me.  Ergo, I moved my Mac drive to my lenovo.  On this drive I have a hybrid mbr which is no longer needed.  So my thoughts are this:
    From what I gather, the UEFI standard indicates that there is to be a protective MBR on all GPT systems.  This is so that when you use programs that are not GPT aware, they will see a presumably "full" drive and not think that they have the right to destroy your existing data in what it thinks is free space.  For instance, fdisk or other MBR only partitioning systems.  Thus, if your system has only a MBR with a single EE partition, it would be my guess that it was in fact not put there by installing Windows, but rather for the protection of your system. 
    If you are in my situation, where you do indeed have a hybrid MBR with written out partitions, it would be my guess that the only way to rid yourself of it is to do it manually.  The way I would recommend, is using gdisk (gpt fdisk).  It is command line only, but the syntax is pretty easy:
    $ sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    Assuming you are using your mac partition and your primary hdd is disk0.  That will put you into an interactive session of gdisk.  Enter "?" for command options.  What you need is the "recovery and transformation" section which is the "r" I think.  From there I would say you probably want to create a new hybrid mbr (you will be using this to delete it).  When it asks you for the partitions you would like to include, just hit enter.  It should then ask you if you would like to create a protective entry for the remainder of the empty space.  This is what you want so tell it to do that.  After you are done, "w" will write and exit.  You may want to first use the "p" to print and ensure that you have what you want.  You can proabably check your work by using fdisk as so:
    $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/disk0
    I hope this helps you, and if you find that there is a better way, I hope you might enlighten this thread. 
    Cheers!
    PS The command examples, the $ is to indicate it is a bash/shell command as a non-root user, do not include it in the command.

    How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.

    The key constraint for Home Sharing in this context is that both PCs need to be on the same wifi network. So once you get out of range of the wifi network covering your home PC, the laptop is not going to be able to Home Share.
    Have you considered importing your iTunes music to the laptop? Then you could listen to a local copy of the music on the laptop while you're on the road. (You can do the import via home sharing when both computers are on the same wifi network.)
