i was able  to print with my acrobat before, but I can no longer do it.  the error message says "adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"  How do I activate it?

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

  • Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated

    Adobe CS3, Acrobat Professional 8.1.0, Windows XP Pro: CS3 has been working faultlessly for several years. Suddenly, when I try to print using Adobe PDF as printer I get message "Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated". To my knowledge all of CS 3 should be activated. InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, etc work fine. I can even open Acrobat 8 and call up documents but I cannot print to it. When I click on "Activation" in Help menu, both "Activate" and "Deactivate" are grayed out. Any suggestions?

    Perhaps you should use this tool:
    <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html>
    The tool repairs the license but before using this tool, have you tried re-booting the system just in case this is a temporary problem?  Also, it is a good idea to create a temporary profile and try using the PDF printer to see if it is working.
    If it is working in your temporary profile, then this suggests that your preference file might need to be re-created but this is for next time after you have tried using the pdf in your test profile.

  • I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

    Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

  • Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated

    My system is Win7 and I have Acrobat X Pro. It was working fine at first and then I start getting this error message when I try to create a PDF file. I search the web for a solution and the only one works for me is to end the AcroTray.exe from Task Manager. However, this is not a very good solution since I need to create quite a bit of PDF files. And the combine function stops working. Now it's like my Acrobat Pro doesn't work at all. I tried reintall the Acrobat but it doesn't do any good. Can someone help me with this problem please?

    I was getting this exact error when trying to print to PDF from Firefox.
    FWIW, these steps did not work for me.  Here is how I fixed this error for me (Windows 7 64-bit, CS6).
    I went to Start Menu > Control Panel > Programs and Features
    I found that I had both Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed *and* Acrobat Reader XI.  I am not sure how Acrobat Reader got installed, but that was what was causing the error.
    I clicked on Acrobat Reader XI and then "Uninstall".
    No reboot required.  The error went away once Acrobat Reader XI was gone.
    I hope that this helps someone else.

  • Error: "Adobe Distiller cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated."

    I am simply trying to convert a .doc to a .pdf with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro (I have tried from MS Word and also in Acrobat). I know that my product is already activated because when I got to Help>Activation, the "Activate" option is grayed out. Any ideas?

    "Interesting enough you can modify PDF files and save them using Adobe [Reader] 8."
    That's a feature of Acrobat 8 Professional, in case you didn't know. When using Acrobat 8 Pro, you can configure the setting of any specific document to enable special features when opened with Adobe Reader 8. The special settings include: security, commenting documents (and saving your changes), as well as fill out and save forms.
    This means that you can create documents and send it to people who don't have the full Acrobat version (only the free Reader), yet enable them to input their comments and additional data.
    You can read more at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/upgrade_customer.html, under the "Enable advanced features in Adobe Reader" section.

  • Error: PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not Activated

    This error seems to pop up randomly and the only way to get rid of it is to reboot my computer.  I've tried to exit all applications and restart but does not work.  Rebooting is a pain.  Can anyone help?

    Hi rich26817,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this. You may need to remove iTunes and all of its components as outlined in this article:

  • My iTunes is not loading on my computer (PC).  The error message says: MSVCR80.dll was not found

    My iTunes is not loading on my computer (PC).  The error message says: MSVCR80.dll was not found

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • HT1199 I updated Itunes on my PC and now when i try to open Itunes i get a error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found" then whenI close that pop up I get a error message saying "windows was not installed correctly Erro

    I updated my itunes the other day and now it won't open I get error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found"  When I close that window I get message stating Itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 Windows error 126.  My PC is a Acer and I'm running Windows Visa.  I tried to uninstall Itunes and reinstall it and get same message.  Can anyone help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

    Podcasts that I had subscribed to with my old computer are invisible in the iTunes store on my new computer. The error message says the podcast is not available in the US. Yet I could still download the podcast on my old computer before I switched. How can I fix this?

    Hello, ted_marx38. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID.  When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID.  If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
