How do I launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional?

I have downloaded, and reinstalled all Suite applications, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Everytime I try to use Acrobat it shuts down and gives me this message:
Adobe Acrboat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. you must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have already launched and used photoshop, indesign and illustrator. Not sure what to do now. Also, I am using an Adobe Cloud membeship.

Acrobat 8 requires CS2 or CS3. This has nothing to do with Creative Cloud or CS6. You need to reinstall whatever suite the product came with and serilaize it that way, which may not at all be possible on contemporary operating systems for technical reasons and because of this:
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2 or older products, Acrobat 7
I also don't see why you would want to hold on to Acro 8, when in Creative Cloud you have Acro XI included...

  • How do I download Adobe Acrobat 10 Professional?

    How do I download Adobe Acrobat 10 Professional?  I have a serial key.  My computer was stolen and I need to install Adobe Acrobat on my new computer.  Do I need to deactivate the license on my old computer??

    Just install the file that you downloaded last time and use the SN that came with it. Or did you not save the download. In that case you can try http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-x-10-pro-reader-suite-direct-download-links-ddl.ht ml. I do not know how long AA X will be around online. You will still need your SN.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

    Hi
    So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
    I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
    But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

    Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
    Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
    Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
    I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

  • How do you make a link in a .pdf file? (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional)

    Dear Adobe Acrobat Forum,
    I would like to add a link to my .pdf file.
    Once clicked on, I would like the link to send the user to another place in the same .pdf file
    or open a separate .pdf file.
    I've tried to resolve this on my own by going to both Acrobat help section and the InDesign help section as well as Googling "Acrobat 8 link" or something similar.......but to no avail.
    So, can you please tell me how I can add a link to a .pdf file?
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    I have been creating .pdf files using the File > Export feature in Adobe InDesign CS3 (for the Mac).
    Thanks!

    Have you tried in Acrobat 8 to:
    Choose Link tool.
    Then choose as shown on as on this Graphic
    Then when clicking next you should be greeted with this:
    Choose open a file or open a weblink depending upon what you want to do.
    You try some of the other choices. once you select what to do save as a copy and try. If This one doesn't work try some of the other choices in the first graphic. other panes will open up similar to second graphic except there will be other choices.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time - why?? Pls help!

    Everytime I open a pdf I get the following message...
    "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional".
    What does this mean?
    I don't have Photoshop. Does that mean I need to get it to be able to look at pdf's?
    Is there anything I can just download without having to buy it?
    I have also just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0, if that info helps?
    Please help, I need to work on a pdf for work due tomorrow!!

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
      5.  Enter your serial number when prompted.
    Hope this one could help.

  • "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched..."

    "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component..."
    This message has been coming up each time I read a PDF page during the past couple of weeks. The FAQ says it occurs when CS3 hasn't been activated, but this isn't the case for me, as I've been running CS3 Web Premium for some time without any issues and I'm up-to-date.
    The problem isn't with PDF files stored on my PC but only with those downloaded and viewed in a browser screen (both IE and FF).
    If I load PS or any other component prior to reading the PDF I still get the message.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    (I'm running CS3 under Windows XP Pro.)

    I don't know the answer, but it sounds like you are running Creative Suite. I faintly remember hearing about this before. You might get a quick answer in the Creative Suite forum (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bbf2708/). Bill

    The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.
