License recovery, Acrobat Pro 9.5 in Windows XP

Most of the discussions about using the license recovery tool are from Mac users.  This is not the case here.  After about 1-1/2 years, Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 suddenly stopped working and displayed the following error message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.
(148:3)
Using the REPAIR installation from the original disk was of no help.  Uninstalling and then reinstalling Acrobat 9 Pro from the original disk did not solve this problem either.  Using the Adobe license recovery 109 tool did restore usability.  However, now I get a box with an OK button I must click before I can log into any profile.  The box contains a couple of odd characters but nothing readable.
This license is used on only two computers; the other one hasn't exhibited this odd behavior.  It could have been tied to a Windows XP update as I routinely download and install them, but that's also the case with the other computer and it doesn't misbehave in this way.  I have different licenses of Acrobat 9 Pro installed on other computers, and none of them has this problem, including one laptop running Windows 7.

Jeff,
Thank you for the reply.  Yes - I ran Lavasoft Registry Tuner shortly
before Acrobat 9.5 Pro stopped working properly.  Acrobat is now back to
normal except for the unknown box that appears before the Windows XP log-in
screen.  Clicking OK seems to be all that's needed, and as far as I know
there are no programs that don't function normally.
The following has nothing to do with this topic, but I wanted to tell
somebody at Adobe: the reason I haven't gone to Acrobat 10 (except for the
Windows 7 laptop) is because the extra security (I assume) in Acrobat 10
prevents me from using Fullshot or other screen capture programs to take
pictures of specific parts of a page within an open Acrobat document.  I
have to do this routinely as part of my job as engineering (technical)
writer.
Thanks again.

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

    hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.

    Hey jeroenb16613921,
    Please specify exactly when you get this white popup screen. While opening a PDF or launching Acrobat by double-clicking on the Acrobat icon.
    If it comes when opening a PDF, then where is this PDF actually stored?
    Let me know more on the same so that I can analyze the issue.

  • I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. It won't start.

    I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. I double click the desktop icon and double click on a PDF file and the hour glass (circle) appears for about 5 seconds but no Adobe Acrobat.

    If it's not launching you can try repairing it from the control panel.  If that doesn't work then try reinstalling it.

  • I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed on Windows 8

    I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed on Windows 8 and it asked me to download Adobe Reader 11.0.09 Font Packs - Asian and Extended Language Pack but it says I need Adobe Reader XI to be installed first.  Will this pack work with Acrobat Pro 9?  Is there a different pack for Acrobat Pro 9?  Thanks for any help.
    Also: I am not doing anything with languages other than English.  I don't read them or write them.  I just use English. Why do I need such a pack?

    Hi Hanoch ,
    Compatibility of Acrobat 9 with Windows 8 could be a reason that you are facing such an issue.
    As Acrobat 9 is an older version ,that could be one of the reasons it is prompting you to download the Reader 11.0.09 Font Packs.
    Would request you to check for an update first ,and if it fails try switching on to the latest version of Acrobat ,i.e 11.0.10.
    To check for Updates.
    Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Check for Updates.
    You may also want to refer to the following link.

    See if that helps.

  • Acrobat Pro 6.0 with Windows 8.1

    Is there a way to make Acrobat Pro 6.0 on Windows 8.1?

    Even if you succeed in installing the package, you would have to deal with a lot of workaround to get it to function. The print driver and AcroTray are two parts of the package that will fail. It is time to purchase a new version. AA6 is too old for an upgrade.

  • Acrobat Pro installed on a Windows 2003 32bit server - where's the 64bit driver?

    Hello.
    I'm still newbie with Acrobat Pro so please bear with me if this is a silly question.
    A prospect of ours installed the TRIAL version of Acrobat Pro Extended on a 32bit Windows 2003 server and everything went fine; this server "serves" a number of Windows 7 64bit boxes which are supposed to share the PDF Printer created on the Win2003 server during the installation.
    Problem is that when the printer gets shared and clients try to install it, the 64bit driver could not be found.
    The customer tried to install the 64bit driver on the Win2003 box but he does not know where to find the correct .INF file for 64bit windows client.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Two facts for consideration. As I understand it the trail only comes in 64-bit. Don't know for sure since I have never downloaded it, but that is a faint memory.
    More importantly, read the EULA carefully before you purchase for the type of application you listed. The general EULA does not allow the use of Acrobat on a server in the manner you have indicated. You have to purchase Acrobat for each machine, not a  server. You may have enough that need to use the product that a volume license is in order -- contact Adobe for that. In the meantime, use the Acrobat Trail to test the features and such to be sure it meets your needs (other than the server use).

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 crashing in Windows Vista - Need help

    Hi,
    I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in my system which has OS Windows Vista with SP1 and everytime I open a pdf using my newly installed adobe acrobat it crashes.
    The general trend it after 10 seconds from opening that pdf file, it just automatically closes itself. I checked the system process and didn't see the adobe process running after it closed itself. So I feel it just crashes for some unknown reason.
    I have 1440 X 900 resolution. Don't know if that can be a problem, but I have tried reducing the resolution too but with no help.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem.

    Since this is a USER TO USER forum, not Adobe support, and as the
    only way another user could reply is if they had that exact problem
    and also had a solution, you may need to contact Adobe for help

  • Will my existing version of Acrobat Pro 9 work on Windows 7 64bit?

    As I'm considering upgrading to Windows 7 and use Acrobat continously, will my existing version of Acrobat Pro 9 work or will I need to download or purchase a new version?

    If I install the updates either but letting the application do it or by
    downloading them, how does Acrobat Pro 9 know that it must run in 64 bit
    mode?
    Thanks

  • Insufficient Data for an Image Acrobat Pro 11.0.6 - Windows 8.1

    We have recently upgraded several users in our office to Windows 8.1.  They are running Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, which they had previously been running Windows 7 without issue.
    Now, in Windows 8, they will have a PDF file open and pages in it start to go blank followed by the "insufficient data for an image" error.  It seems that this may be related to having a downloaded PDF file open in another window, or making comments in a PDF file. 
    Has anyone else run into this?  Any suggestions on what to do?  We've uninstalled/reinstalled, run a cleaner tool, etc... to no avail.  The other suggest Adobe has had so far is to change the zoom on the file; that did not resolve it either. 

    We are having the same issue.  I've tried the newest version of Acrobat (11.0.6) on windows 7, and windows 8.1.   I've also tried earlier version of acrobat (9 & 10) fully updated.  So far I have found 2 pdf's that consistently cause the "Insufficient data for an image." error.  The pdf i've been using to test is located here   (http://japoncaogreniyorum.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/lets_learn_japanese_basic_ii_1_of_2. pdf)  If i open that pdf in acrobat 11.0.6 i get the error right away.  If i open that same pdf in chrome it opens with no errors and looks as it should.  No missing pages, half pages, or blank pages.  The second pdf i've been testing this with is confidential but it has yielded the same results.  Regardless of the version of acrobat i open the pdf's in i get the error.  In chrome they display and print with no errors.
    Again this is tested with Acrobat 11.0.6 on Windows 7 & 8.1.  This is the version cited by adobe to fix this very problem.
    Any help is much appreciated

  • Will Acrobat Pro 7 Work with Windows 7?    It did NOT with Vista.

    I create fillable forms using Pro and have never had any problem getting Acrobat Pro to install the PDF driver with Windows 6 or XP. 
    However, I have tried every "solution" offered by Adobe to get the driver to install on my new notebook which runs on Vista.  I have also downloaded and installed both Vista service packs.  The driver still will not install,
    Without the converter driver, I cannot do a substantial portion of my work on the new computer. 
    I was going to upgrade to Acrobat Pro 8 but found out from other irritated users that Pro 8 also failed to install the driver using Vista.
       Am I the only customer who thinks there is really shoddy support from Adobe on this issue?
    I am willing to upgrade to Windows 7.  However, if Pro fails to work with Windows 7 like it did with Vista then the upgrade would be another waste of my money.  If we cannot depend on Acrobat Pro to work on the Windows platform, my company (5000+ employees) is going to have to find other software.
    Has anyone had success getting Acrobat Pro (7, 8, OR 9) to install the PDF converter driver with Windows 7 ?
    Thanks!

    What is the "method" to get around issues with Windows 7 64bit?  My XP machine failed and I've bought a new one running Windows 7 64bit.  I'm trying to get a credit card statement, but I can't read it because the  downloaded Acrobat 9 I'm trying to install - won't install. Something about it not being "compatible" with Windows Vista and 7 operating 64bit.  How long has Vista been around?? - at least a couple years. Why hasn't Acrobat been able to get "compatable" in all this time??  Right now it seems I'm screwed because I unknowiing bought a 64bit machine.
    I've been told at work that the answer is to get some sort of similated 32bit operation going that Acrobat can handle. Can you please tell me how to do that? I'd really appreciate your help.   

  • Installed Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard.  Now PDFs opened via Safari no long appear in an Acrobat Pro 9 plug-in window.

    I want PDFs grabbed from a web page to open is the Acrobat Pro 9 plug-in like they did before I updated to Safari v5.1.  I need access to bookmarks and other features that are not accessible via the Safari PDF viewer.
    I realize that I can click the ICON on the floating palette at the bottom of the Safari PDF viewer window, but I would prefer not to go through the extra step every time.
    Anyone have a pointer?
    Thanks in advance

    you need to trash the current version of IPhoto, just the application, leave all libraries intact, throw te iPhoto into the trash and up date, it wil ask you after install what libraries you want to install. Your choice, latsest is always my chioce. Do all the iPhoto updates before this step, as the download could have been corrupted. Hapened to me on my wifes nachine 10.7.3., which would have been certain death for me. After the re-install it will ask you which library to install, I always pick the latest, but you can put in others  as well.
    Good luck, because if I lost those files, I'd be pushing uo Daisys about now.
    There might be someone who knows a better wat too do this, and there is software to help ypu recover your data.(Data Resue, ClamEx)
    Hope tuis helps
