Incompatibility of Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows 7

I have a new 64 bit Windows 7 computer and have been getting an error message when trying to install AA 6.0 standard--not compatible with the operating system. Any thoughts?

The real problem is the 64-bit aspect. Also, AcroTray will not generally work, meaning you would have to do extra operations to create a PDF. I doubt that AA6 will work at all on a 64-bit system. If you had a 32-bit system or possibly with 32-bit compatibility if that can be done you might be able to run it. However, you would have to change the printer port to FILE and then open any file created in Distiller to finish the process.
So if there is a way to install a 32-bit process in a compatibility mode on the system, there is an outside chance. In the long run you should just buy AAXI (not upgrade from 6) if you have the funds for that.

Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro work with Windows 7?

I'm having a printing from Word to .PDF issue using Acrobat Pro 8 on a Windows 7 Pro OS. It's not working. It starts as though it's going to work and then nothing. The printer icon in the system tray only states printer error and then I have to cancel the print job. I'm using Word 2013 also.

Hi Greggory Bowles,
Acrobat 8 pro is not compatible with MS Office 2013. You might prefer buying a newer version of Acrobat with Latest Features and Security Updates (Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro).

Adobe 5.0 compatibility with Windows 7

there's a chance you could use compatibility mode to install acrobat 5.
if that fails, your only option is to buy an old computer with an old os or buy or subscribe to a current acrobat, http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstandard/buying-guide.html

Adobe Acrobat Proffessional 6 incompatebility with Windows Vista

hello everyone.
I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat Professional 6 which is incompatible with Windows Vista.
i tried all the updates provided by Adobe, but they don;t have any update to address this issue.
so can anyone tell me how to solve this problem??

Or go back to Windows XP. Many businesses have not gone to Vista and are forcing the extension of the life of Windows XP. There are too many issues with all the new drivers and lack of software for Vista.

Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard Work With Adobe Reader 8.2.4?

Hello,
I have a question, but haven't found an answer to this yet.
Can anyone tell me please: Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard work with Adobe Reader 8.2.4?
I had Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard on my computer & it was working with Adobe Reader 8, but don't remember what the version it was.
I was using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard to scan very old family pictures & documents & I realize that this version of Acrobat is outdated.
To make a long story short, my computer had crashed, so we built another computer & just replaced the hard drive. When I went to Adobe, I had to download the newer version of Reader 9.0 & it didn't work with Acrobat 6.0., so I removed Adobe Reader 9 & I found Adobe Reader 8.0 & have downloaded the patches, so now I have Adobe Reader 8.2.4 back on board.
Thank you.

Adobe doesn't recommend any version of Reader with any version of Acrobat on Windows. It will cause problems. It just is a matter of how and when. The problem has to do with shared resources causing conflicts. If you have Acrobat 8, you can update it to Acrobat 8.2.4. You must apply the updates sequentially.

Does Word 2010 work with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard?

I've been using Windows XP and MS Office 2003. It's essential for me to use MS Word for my work. I also sometimes need to create PDFs from my Word documents. I bought Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard earlier this year.
I now find (to keep up to date and on good terms with my clients) that I need to upgrade to a newer version of Word. If I keep Windows XP but upgrade to MS Office/Word 2010, will my Ad Ac 6.0 work okay? I've been told there are some conflicts between some versions of Ad Ac and MS and I'm confused about it.
Thank you.

MS Office 2010 has already been out for several months, so I will presume that Adobe has that version to test while programming Acrobat X
If you need the functions, buy X when it is available
If you do have problems, you will be able to come back here and ask questions

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard - PDF Printer suppress file name prompt

Hi,
We are currently developing a product for Autodesk Revit with regards to drawing generation/export. Revit does not have an inbuilt PDF writer. As such most users either use free PDF Printers or Adobe Acrobat Standard.
We have managed to automate the naming of files using some of the free PDF printers, and suppress the file save as name prompt for each sheet in a set of prints.
We'd also like to add support for Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Is this possible through the Acrobat API?
Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated as we are keen to get our product out to market very soon!
Thanks.

Thanks. That's all I needed for now. Our developer will take a look when he comes to doing that section of the product.
Cheers.

Cannot Copy and Paste in Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard

I just bought a new computer and with it I purchased Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard. In the past I used previous version of Acrobat standard and professional to create drawings and to copy and paste my engineering seal on my structural calculations. I am having (2) problems. The first is when I try to copy and paste my seal from a PDF file, it does not work in Version 9. I use the snap shot tool. Please try the attached file using Version 9. It works in Version 8 Standard and Version 7 professional.
The second is when I try to printing from AutoDesk products. I had the problem of when I would print a PDF from AutoCAD it would sooo big. To work around that, I started using Autodesk Reviewer and creating my PDFs from an Autodesk DWF file. WIth Version 9, I now having the file size problem with the DWF files. It is about 5 times larger than the DWF and the qualtiy is terrible. I was able to create a PDF from a DWF from Version 7 and 8 without these problems.

It has been a part of Acrobat for a while now but DWF was added in Acrobat 8, I believe. As far as older versions are concerned, the version of AutoCAD you have matters. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2008/12/version_compatibility_of_acrob.html. In addition, AutoCAD 2009 is supported in Acrobat 9.1.
I would recommend downloading a trial copy of Acrobat and see if it meets your requirements.

Gaps inbetween letters of full words when Merging files to single PDF (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard)

I've raised a Bug Report although it says that I may not be contacted so thought someone else might have encountered this issue and hopefully knows what causes it and how to fix. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Heres a copy of the Bug Report details...
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
An intermitent issue is occuring when merging multiple files into a single PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, the resulting PDF file has gaps inbetween the letters of actual words. For example the word "document" may appear in part of the PDF as "doc ument". This seems to affect various parts of the final PDF file.
Setup: Windows XP SP2, Adobe Acrobat 9.0, Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
Steps to reproduce bug:
I am currently unable to replicate the issue on demand but this has happened three times since installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 a month ago. The most recent occurance happened when merging 6 Microsoft Word Documents. It is a real problem due to the fact that every PDF created needs to be carefully checked and in some cases these PDFs have hundreds of pages.
The steps used are:
1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
2) Click File
3) Combine
4) Merge Files into a single PDF
5) Add Files (select the required files)
6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
Results:
A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
Expected results:
A single PDF with the same formatting and layout as the original files.

Thanks for the response.
I have checked though the Word documents that were used in the most recent merge. They don't have any spaces at these areas or strange formatting. I turned on the Show/Hide option to confirm if there was anything odd but I could not see anything. The formatting (Ctrl+D) shows the default font Arial, Regular, font 12.
The interesting thing is that if it occurs and attempt another file merge the gaps are no longer there. Which makes me think this is unlikely to be the documents and formatting being used and more likely to be a bug in Adobe Acrobat.
Is there anything else that might be of use to know?

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard

Acrobat 7 was released in 2005. That's ancient in computer years. You'll definitely need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X to run it under Lion.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard will not open

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard in July 2005. It has worked fine with no bugs. I really do not need to upgrade but now have a problem. I have had some other issues with my computer and now when I try to open this program, I get a window that says:
The installation source for this product is not available. Veryify that the source exists and that you can access it.
I have not deleted it to my knowledge but it won't open. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a million!

If you registered or can show proof of purchase, you should be able to get it back from Adobe, though they will likely tell you to upgrade. It is a matter of proof of purchase. The registration is the standard process to assure this agreement. They claim they do not have old versions, but I doubt that is totally true if you push the point and can demonstrate the purchase.
In any case, Adobe is the one that would have to fix the issue for you. Next time, be sure to burn a CD and also register (if not done). Burning program CDs is important for any software you buy off the web.
