I had to reinstall adobe acrobat x after microsoft uninstalled windows 7 system and replaced new sy

I a not a technology person at 66 but i am learning. Now I am unable to click on pdf files and open them like before. Only way to open is to right click and use reader to open. Before new system was installed I had adobe shortcut on browser tool bar and in file had: convert to pdf. Everything gone now. Any answers or help. acrobat x is only 3 months old
Help needed in Carolinas

Hi,
It seems that Acrobatder has not been set as default to view the pdf files.
Right click on the pdf file and go to 'Properties'.
Under 'General' tab, opens with > click on 'change' button
A new window called 'open with' would pop up on screen asking you to choose the program to open the file.
Select Acrobat and at the bottom make sure 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' is checked and then click on 'Ok'
This should set Acrobat as the default program to launch the pdf files.
Let me know if this worked for you or not.
Regards,
Ravi

What is your operating system? Acrobat version?
What exactly happens when you try to open it?

Trying to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro after a crash

My laptop crashed last week and I lost everything on it. Every. Thing. I’m dying over here and desperately need a break…
Anyway, I’m rebuilding, much like New Orleans after Katrina. One program at a time. I want to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro, but my original key is invalid (I assume expired?) What do I need to do to get a new key to reinstall it? I appreciate any assistance or kind words anyone can offer.

If you have a key or S/N, they are indefinite and do not expire. It may be an issue of the version you are trying to use it with. The key is tied to a specific version (9, X, XI as well as Pro and Std and Upgrade). There may also be an OS issue if it is a new machine. So information on the version, upgrade (or not), and OS would help us give you some idea of the problems.

Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

1. Re: Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan
Anubha Goel
I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.

Reinstalling adobe acrobat 7 prof after upgrading OS but fails create pdf port

Used download manager to reinstall adobe acrobat 7 professional after upgrading OS to windows 7. Install ends but fails with error "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 set up was unable to create a new item Adobe PDF Port & Printer". Adobe is installed but I can no longer print to pdf nor use Adobe directly to create pdf from file. This feature was available before this reinstallation.
How do I fix this?

Hi myee.somers,
Acrobat 7 is a 32-bit application and while it can successfully be installed on a 64-bit machine using SysWOW64 (which enables 32-bit apps to work on 64-bit machines), there are some known limitations. One of those known limitations is that 32-bit printer drivers will not work on 64-bit machines.
So you can install the main Acrobat 7 application, but you won't be able to installer the Adobe PDF Printer Driver.
Support Policy for Adobe Acrobat 7.0.x (Windows XP x64)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331732.html
Kb for error 20225: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-warning-20225-or-no.html
Even in the 64-bit versions of Windows XP the Acrobat 7 printer driver was not supported.

ReInstalling Adobe Acrobat 5.0

ReInstall Adobe Acrobat 5.0
I had to reinstall windows and now I have to reinstall acrobat 5.0 (I know all the other versions are newer, bigger, badder etc. but I only use this about twice a year for completing forms and so it is quite satisfactory.)I have my disk and my codes, but I cant find the manual. Online searches provide information about the newer versions
Now my problem is I cant get it to install. Apparently, there is no auto install. Exploring the CD fails to find any obvious instructions that I can access Thanks to Microsoft office refuses to open that early version of word documents, and the HTML instructions are really great They consist of:
- Make sure you have at least 120 MB of available disk space for a Typical installation of Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5.
- Make sure you have turned off all anti-virus software before beginning the installation.
- Install Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5.
Duh!
HOW DO I INSTALL MY ACROBAT 5.0?
(and lets use the installation for dummies version)
(Ive got the hard drive space and the anti-virus is turned off)
I have the CD in my drive, and using explore I find the Acrobat 5.0 folder
Looking inside I find setup.exe but clicking on it produces nothing it doesnt run
Likewise the only other exe program in the folder ISDel.exe- same result
Clearly something else has to be done, but when your installation instructions consist of:
- Install Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5.
Adobe makes it tough and their manual isnt even written in Japlish.

I have the same problem as described by Steve Burrage above. Except that nothing seems to resolve this issue. I am just unable to run the Setup.exe file to install Acrobat 5.0.5 on Microsoft XP. I am able to install the CD on other XP machines but not on mine.
It is a new laptop which I got with Vista on it. AA 5.0.5 couldnt be installed on Vista and after I converted the machine to XP it is still not working.
I tried after removing Adobe Reader and shutting off the Anti virus program. It just doesn't work.
I hope someone can suggest a solution.
Thanks

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

Not able to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac

I have to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac -- I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it appears to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, it disappears. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions?

There is some process for the CS version where you are supposed to open one of the other products and then complete the Acrobat install/activation. It seems a bit strange to someone like me without CS, but I have seen such several times. You might want to ask in the CS forum about the details. The details of the install is about all you may need to go to the CS forum for -- other Acrobat specific questions are fine here.
If you wait, it may be that other CS users will be by to help with the variations for that install.

Reinstall adobe acrobat 8.0 standard

Dear Adobe,
I need to reinstall Adobe acrobat 8.0 standard after formatting. Unofrtunately I have not a backup. I have the serials but not the original install files. Is there anyway to download somewhere the files?
Many thanks

The link provided by Mylenium eventually leads to
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Only the Acrobat 8 Pro for Windows link is available there and entering your Acrobat Standard serial number into the Acrobat Pro installer will not work. A separate Acrobat Standard installer is required.
Are you trying to reinstall on a Dell? If so, you can get the software from https://smartsource.dell.com
Other than that, I'm not aware of any links for Acrobat Standard 8, sorry.

Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site. You will need the serial number for the original version you had installed to convert the trial into a fully activated version.

How do I reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

I unistalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I am a Creative Cloud member. I want to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. HOWEVER, my Creative Cloud app manager shows that I already have it and I can't reinstall it. I've signed out of the CC desktop app, and signed back in again.
