Install Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from Acrobat 9 Standard

I attempted to do an upgrade from Acrobat 9 Standard to Pro Extended having purchased the software from a sales rep who said I could do this as did technical support.
My system is XP Pro/SP2 32-bit.
During the install I ran into this problem. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401731.html. Being stupid I continued on
instead of stopping. Once I got to the section that I am asked to input the Pro Extended serial number and then my STandard serial number I ran into further problems. The dropp down menu asked for which current version of Acrobat, which of course for me was 9 Standard.
The problem was the drop down menu has no option for Standar only Professional.
Since the sales rep had told me I could upgrade I hadn't read the label on the Extended Pro box, which says it's only an upgrade for Professional If I had called in at that time I would have resolved that issue, but not the missing DLL.
I then found out I couldn't uninstall the mess so I did another stupid thing and did a system restore, which just compounded the problem. To make a longer story shorter I downloaded MS Windows Cleanup Utility and removed  Acrobat.com and Acrobat 9 STandard. I then downloaded WinCS4Cleanupscript and unzipped and ran it. So far so good.
Then I was advised to install Pro Extended as a trial and customer support would take care of the license issue. Ok, again so far so good.
I then attemped to install Pro Extended as trial and ran into a printer problem similar to what I had
encountered before, but not exactly the same.
"Setup can not copy file PSCRPTFE.NTF" and issues about printers not being Windows logo compliant I believe it was.
(I have a new wireless Brother HL-2170W laser and Canon MP830 inkjet and just updated the driver and firmware...maybe that will load the missing driver)
A this point the installation was terminated and I was advised to follow Adobe TechNote KB403613. The only item that I could possiblity help with this printer problem is the Hotfix kb-930627, but this is for a 64-bit system not 32? Do I download or not?
I also just found out that I still have some vestige of Pro Extended on my system though the MS Cleanup Utility doesn't list anything. Do I run WinCS4Cleanupscript again?
a) How do I fix the PSCRPTFE.NTF issue with my printer(s)
b) Do I download a 64-bit hotfix kb-930627to my 32-bit system...and will that solve the printer problem?
c) Do I just ignore what's left of Pro Extended on my system or run Winc cs4Cleanupscript again. I can't run it directly from all programs, but if I click
on Acrobat 9 Standard under start it opens up or at least that's how it's identified.
d) Anything else?

I might as well update my own question:
I followed the instructions given in the Adobe TechNote kb403613 after running WINCS4Cleanupscript.
However, I did NOT download the hotfix as that's for a 64-bit system. The phrasing of the hotfix wasn't very
clear to me, but I don't think when it stated XP Home or Professional meant a 32-bit system rather only 64-bit.
If anyone knows better let me know. I checked out that specific hotfix and said was for 64-bit OS.
1) Created a new user account with Admin rights
2)  I did the "intermediate troubleshooting" listed in kb403613 and found a few files to delete and I also ran the disk defragmenter.
Might as well catch any problems up front instead of waiting.
3) There were several directories on the DVD but only copied Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to my desktop in the new user account.
4) Ran msconfig and disabled all programs under the start up tab. Once you click OK a small window pops up
and you press restart. Remember to write down any programs listed in startup that are not enabled so you
can deselect those when you enable the startup menu again.
5) On restart and booting up press F8 to get the start up options and select VGA mode.
7) Once you in Windows log back into the account you created to just install Acrobat
8) Open Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on your desk top and run the installer
Desktop>Acrobat 9 Pro Extended>Acrobat9>Acro3D
9) Run the install. In my case I selected trial version.
10) I still ran into a problem with Windows Logo compatiblity issues with  my printers.
I could either continue or stop the installation, which I did to attempt to determine just what's
causing that problem.
11) there was some auto backout of files, but I still had to run MS Cleanup Utility again and remove Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
Also ran WINCS4Cleanupscript though nothing there.
12) I then did a restart and booted into normal Windows mode from VGA mode.
13) Logged into my account and ran msconfig to enabled my startup menu and then deselected the ones I didn't want.
OK, I am back to square one. I checked the Windows Logo Product List and found my Brother HL-2170W is
XP, VISTA and W7 Windows Logo certified.
I checked my other printer a Canon Pixma MP830...well not so good. It's logo certified under Vista and W7, but not XP.
I had downloaded the lastest driver and firmware, but that didn't seem to help. I did email Canon. Now these printers had
no problems when I was running under Acrobat 9 Standard.
Right now my only option appears to be to just run the install and continue on when I get to the printer issue. Still don't know what
will happen when I get to the serial numbers. I am suppose to call support and they will fix activation. So I am told...

  • I am trying to move my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended  from my older HP Win7 Pro notebook to my new HP Win 7

    I am trying to move my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from my older HP Win7 Pro notebook to my new HP Win 7 Pro notebook. This should be WAY easy, and it's not. Sofware downloaded from MS/HP after new noteboook was safely home. Used Microsoft transfersoftware to move all--but the Adobe Night watchman won't recognize my product code (it worked on the older notebook). I have now recopied the irginal download and everything seems fine but the IE plug-in to Adobe PDF printer does not function. Any suggestions?

    You won't like this response, but there is no way to simply move any Adobe software installation from one system to another. In part, this has to do with the registration/activation infrastructure that Adobe uses. FWIW, Adobe isn't the only software vendor for which you can't simply move software from one system to another via various migration tools.
    You must totally uninstall from the first system including product deactivation and then install on the new system and reactivate.
    In terms of “fixing” your current system, I would recommend totally uninstalling the software (and deactivating in the process), reboot, and then reinstall from scratch.

  • After Installing Acrobat X Standard, Cannot print from another Windows Program

    I am having a strange problem.  Once I installed Acrobat X Standard, another Windows based program stopped printing.  It now comes up with a usp10.dll error, but most of the time it just crashes the program.  Tried reinstalling the program and no luck.  The error points at a Helvetica Font being the culprit that was installed with Acrobat.  I am not sure how to clear this up.
    Thanks

    I have not removed it.  One of the things I did try was going into the Registry and to FontSubstitutions and change the Helv to Helv,186 or something like that.

  • Using SMS to install Acrobat 7 Standard and 7.0.5 - 7.0.8 patches

    I am having problems with a package I created to install Acrobat 7 Standard and all it's updates. I this package I have created many programs. The first four programs are used to uninstall the previous version - 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3 and 6.0.4. I used the command lines I got from the PDF document: "Install and remove Acrobat products using the command line (6.x on Windows)". All four programs went through successfully.
    The next program in this package is the one that installs Acrobat 7 Standard. I used InstallShield Tuner 7.0 to customize the Acrobat settings when installed. I used the command line for this program that was listed the PDF: "User Document: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 for Microsoft Systems Management Server". This program installed without a problem.
    The problem comes when the next program attempts to start. This is the program that installs the 7.0.5 update patch for Acrobat 7.0.0. At this point, this is where the package bombs. I have used the command lines provided in the PDF document: "Install and remove Acrobat products using the command line (7.0 on Windows)". I extracted the files from the .exe file of the patch and copied them to the source directory with all the other installation files for Acrobat 7 Standard.
    Not sure what to do at this point. Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me into the right direction!

    Glenn,
    I do not use any of the Acrobat instructions on deleting previous versions. I wrote a inf file from within MS Installer that removes all the Registry settings that the original installation of Acrobat 5 and 6 create. I also remove any files that remain on the PC. One reboot is needed and then a manual removal of the one or two files that stay in the ActiveX directory and the main Acrobat directory (used by windows until a reboot is performed). I then was successful in creating a package that delivers Acrobat 7 Pro with the updates to 7.05 and 7.08 by chaining them from within the setup ini file. I am now trying the same thing with Acrobat 7 standard but am having several separate issues.
    Good luck because I hope one day Adobe/Acrobat are replaced with another OEM that listens to it customers and will not have as big of Chat room as they have with so many open issues and continuous problems with ever release.

  • Moving Creative Suite 4 to new laptop. New download has 9 Pro, old install had 9 Pro "EXTENDED"

    Moving Creative Suite 4 to new laptop. New download has 9 Pro, old install had 9 Pro "EXTENDED". Don't remember if my boss bought the "extended" as an exrta. BUT, when I go to Adobe and downlaod the "Extended" version, it says I have a better program already installed. IF this program is 9 Pro, then It is missing the 3D capture feature I was using to create 3D User Interactive PDFs of AutoCAD 3D models off the Model tab.   Any clue what I need to do?  Thanks,  Cliff

    The version of Acrobat bundled with CS4 was Acrobat 9 Pro. Acrobat 9 Pro Extended was sold as a standalone product.
    If you already have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, then untick the option to install Acrobat when installing CS4, and you can carry on using the standalone copy. Acrobat and CS4 don't actually talk to each other, so installing CS4 won't affect your install of Acrobat unless you force the CS4 install program to replace it.

  • How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

    How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

    There is no trial version for Acrobat XI Standard. What Leonard suggested would work for Pro however.
    If you purchased Acrobat via a download from Adobe, you can re-download by going to the "My Orders" page on Adobe's web site (https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html). You would also find you serial number there. If this does not work, you can download the software from here: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - if you've registered your software, you can lookup your serial number here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader

    I have done this in the past to re-install this software and it worked fine.
    Any suggestion?

    Std is available at Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools the last time I checked. This time make a backup of your download on a CD or backup HD. Do not depend on the program always being available for download. This is the case for any software you purchase online.

    Nothing in the Acrobat 8.x product family is compatible with Windows 7 (or any contemporary OS).
    The Acrobat 8.x product family passed into End of Support way back -- (November 2011).
    The current release of Acrobat (XI) is compatible in Windows 7.
    Be well...

  • Problem installing Acrobat 9 standard

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Acrobat 9 Standard. I am getting the error message: "Acrobat has detected another process which has not yet completed. You need to restart the system in order to complete this process". Unfortunatly, after many restarts, It still odes the same thing. I have tried reinstalling windows installer, uninstalling everything adobe related, Except "Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin" which shows up in add/remove programs, but with no change or remove button. Is there something in the regisrty that AA is looking at that tells it there is another install process that hasn't finished yet? Or is there some other way to get around this?
    Thanks
