How do I get the Acrobat Distiller back?

Using FM10. Have to create a PDF file only occasionally. Always used the plug-in that came with FrameMaker. We decided to download the trial version of Acrobat X. Used it for awhile but didn't see any great advantages to buying it. For the work we're doing, the Save as PDF feature in FrameMaker worked just fine. So I deleted Acrobat X. Now the distiller is gone as well. I can no longer Save as PDF in FrameMaker. When I try, I get the error message, "To execute 'Save as PDF' command, you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."
How do I get the distiller back?
We purchased and downloaded FrameMaker on-line so I have no CD.

Saving such files is good advice. As it turns out, I did save the download files at home. So that part is no longer an issue. Right now, the inability to create a pdf file is still the issue. I've made no progress there.
To summarize, here is the sequence of events so far:
- Deleted the trial version of Acrobat X Pro.
- Found that the Distiller was no longer there.
- On the advice of Dov Isaacs, above, re-installed FM10 from the original downloaded install files.
- Still unable to 'Save as PDF." A tps file is created.
- Re-installed FM10 once again, this time ensuring that the 'Install Adobe PDF Creation Add On X' was checked to install.
- After the install, double checked in the Control Panel to see that the add-on was installed.
- Still unable to create a PDF. FM goes through the gyrations and it does create a tps file, but somehow can't bring up the distiller to complete the process.
I have triple checked all of the settings and they are the same as I've always used. I'm thinking that there's some remnant of Acrobat left over that Frame is looking at and getting no response from. Maybe something in the Windows Registry. Oh my! Perish that thought! Might I next have to completely delete everthing associated with Adobe and start completely from scratch?

    Well those listed files you had were of no help. I did some more searching in an system I had and found the downloaded file Acro5.0.5.exe.
    I searched for instances of the word Adobe and deleted them including folders. Also cleaned the registry as well then reinstalled the software from the afore mentioned file. Then re-registered the program. Now everthing is working fine, The Acrobat Distiller Printer is now shown in Printers and Faxes Control Panel.
    I did some file conversions to PDF and the distiller is now listed as a printer source in the Print Menu of the file I am converting.
    Thank for your help.

    I have used the same Apple ID on my children's iPads. Both iPads are now showing as the same. How do I get the missing account back?

    You can clear the iPad and start again with the other account> Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content & Settings
    Or you can go to Settings->Itunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out,
    And Then  Sign in with the other account. You can then download the Apps with that account. Though you may block the other account for 90 days.
    Your best bet is to set it up again using the orighinal account it had, so you can get their Apps back. without affecting your account.

  • HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???

    ORIGINAL REVISED QUESTION =
    AFTER ALL THAT ~ going through the whole MESS you have created and YOU TELLING ME that "in order to have a chance of getting my question answered ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I CAN", you REFUSE to accept is by saying, "Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less ..."!!! Are you INCAPABLE of saying that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS??? HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???
    ORIGINAL QUESTION = I had SEVERAL plugins that WORKED!!! Then, I "upgraded" {as you, LAUGHINGLY, claim} to your Firefox 4 version after being promised by you that it's BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the older version. After I installed the NEW one ~ IT TURNED OFF ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS!!! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very cleverly {and, actually, HATEFULLY} ummmm, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE so that it didn't DESTROY everything we, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU got hold of it!!! So, now, *HOW* do I get the OLDER version back??? I think you should KNOW what you can do with this newer "UPGRADE" that is, actually, a LIE!!! UPGRADES do NOT take you in REVERSE ~ making things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER!!! DUH-H-H-H!!!
    ORIGINAL DETAILS =
    I, recently, purchased a new HP 4500 Printer and it came with a video-capture extension/plugin. Attempting to use it, the program informed me that I needed to be using, either, an EI or a Firefox Browser mentioning version 1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; so, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, it added the plugin to the browser ~ PERFECTLY!!! I, also, had MANY other plugins that worked and that I used somewhat regularly!!! NOT ANY MORE!!! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPT, WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have STOLEN nearly HALF of my COMPUTER!!! I can, no longer, USE ANY OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply, because YOU "forgot" {let's say} to INCLUDE them in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM??? WHY DIDN'T *YOU* WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, ANY LONGER???
    Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU and that YOU are its AXIS!!! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in any way compatible with what is, already, available ~ according to the "advice" I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everybody else must accommodate YOUR claimed "improvements" that do nothing but DESTROY!!!
    All I want is for YOU to, either, MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or, advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER version back that *IS* compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to a different browser and advise all others over whom I have any influence to do the same for the sake of their overall computering enjoyment!!!
    PLEASE ADVISE!!!
    I see that you have provided {below this window} a space for, likely, a SINGLE Extension / Plugin. Therefore, a PARTIAL LIST follows ~
    ArcSoft Video Downloader Extension 2.0.0.8
    Copy to Wordperfect Lightning 1.0
    Google Photos Screensaver 2.0
    HP Smart Web Printing 4.5
    iWinGames Plugin 1.5
    Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1
    RAW Thumbnail Viewer 2.0.0.11
    Real Player Browser Record Plugin 1.1.3
    TVU Web Player 2.5.3.1
    Yahoo! Toolbar 2.1.3.20100310105313

    THANK YOU, TREMENDOUSLY, for the responsive information!!! Although, the WISHTHEYWUZ "programmers" and those that are, actually, controlling and "in charge" of this website ~ you know who I mean ~ those that are so SUPERB at, ONLY, "PASSING THE BUCK" in order to get the regular USERS to answer the questions directed at THEM {as mine was}!!! In that way, of course, they EVADE countless issues and what would be EXTREME PANGS OF GUILT to anyone that "stood responsible" for their actions!!! Regardless, even though, "THEY" continued to lay the blame for the SHODDINESS & EXTREME INEPTNESS OF *THEIR* PROGRAMMING ATTEMPTS onto others ~ the links that *YOU* were kind enough to share with me *DID*, in fact, get my older ~ MUCH MORE USABLE browser back!!! Of course, NOW, the shoddy WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have rigged everything so that I will be HOUNDED and HARASSED in order to try to FORCE the crappy version 4 back onto me!!! I, still, wanna provide YOU with all the ACCOLADES possible!!! Your desire to attempt to HELP OTHERS is, truly, a remarkable characteristic in today's world of SELFISHNESS and UNGODLY attitude problems!!!

    Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting.  Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

    My computer was stolen, I just purchased a new one and I want to redownload my old purchases. Not all of my purchases are on my itouch. How do I get the other purchases back?

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPods using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

    My money is on one of the two suggestions that my colleague has given you, but if all else fails......
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

  • New firefox doesn't work, how do I get the old one back?

    From the email newsletter, I downloaded the new firefox. I said yes when asked if I wanted to replace the one that was there. I then found out that my computer's operating system will not work with the new firefox, and my old one is gone. How do I get the previous version back?

    -> Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
    * Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/7.0.1/system-requirements/
    -> Firefox 3.6.23 (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
    * http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    -> For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

    My App Store is deleted and the option to turn it back on in restrictions is grayed out. How do I get the App Store back?

    If a reset didn;t work, then you can try restoring your iPad. Don't restore from a back up because if there is a glitch with restrictions, it will just set that option up again. Of if you are sure you have a backup created before you changed restrictions settings, then you can back up from that.

  • How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • How do i get the acrobat tab to display in Word 2013?

    how do i get the acrobat tab to display in Word 2013?
    i have Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro for Windows. In Word, it's in the Add-Ins area, and set to display at startup, but it doesn't.

    Are you running at least version 11.0.1 of Acrobat? Have you checked to make sure the add-on isn't on the disabled list for Word 2013? This is done under the Word Options button.
    In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
    In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list.  The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
    In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
    Select the add-in and click Enable.
    Click Close.
