Lightroom says acrobat is not active

My lightroom says that I cannot print to PDF because acrobat is not active. What can I do?

Hi Stephanie ,
Please follow the steps below to change the default program for viewing pdf's
Launch Acrobat
Click on the 'Edit' button in the toolbar, and then select 'Preferences'
A new window would come up. On the left column, higlight the 'General' Tab and on the right hand side at the bottom there's a button called 'Select Default PDF Handler'
Click the button and select 'Adobe Reader' as the default for PDF's.Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
Alternatively, you can simply right click on any pdf file and then select 'Open With..' > 'Choose Default Program' and select 'Adobe Reader' from the list of programs.
Make sure the option at the bottom is checked that says ' Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.
Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
To uninstall Acrobat you can simply uninstall it from the Control Panel > Programs or use the Acrobat cleaner tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Acrobat XI not activated!

My first post here and I'm not a high end user so please be patient with my ignorance
I've seen previous threads on this issue in various places, but don't think solutions in these will work for me.
I have had Acrobat XI for about 5 months now. All was working fine.
THis morning when I tried to print: Message popup says Acrobat is not activated.
So I reinstalled.
and it works
BUT
It now says I am using a trial version. WTH? I PAID for this!. I am in a large company and have a stand-alone version installed.
SO what now??
Ron

WHOAA.
Further to the previous post.
Now I see that the TRIAL version I'm using is the PREVIOUSLY INSTALLEND ACROBAT 8
WHAT?????????????

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.

Acrobat won't load anymore, and says it is not activated (but it is).

Acrobat won't load anymore, and says it is not activated (but it is). It won't create PDFs from other programs either. It worked a minute ago, but now not at all.

Adobe Acrobat XI: Error Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF File.

After installing Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Ent. w/Office 2010.
From MS Word, select Save as PDF, I recieve "Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF file."
Any and all troubleshooting has failed.
Uninstall Acrobat, language packs, re-install, install updates, Install on fresh image.

kglad your link refers to Windows XP. As to the rest it is questionable. First of all it would be nice to know the cause, before fixing the problem. For in some cases eliminating the cause will solve problems later on. So, in my case for ex. The problem did not exist until I protected my Word 2010 document and then saved it to PDF--which it would not allow to do so and giving the error message stated above.

If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

Your patience is greatly appreciated joanr1331! Let's get your iPhone 5c activated once and for all. May I have you remove the sim card, reboot, and reinsert, & retest. Keep us posted with your findings.
Thank you…

Trying to upload raw cr2 files and Lightroom says "file is not recognized"

Backstory: I photographed a VERY important commercial shoot today and I went to upload the photos to Lightroom. The first 30 images uploaded just fine, but the rest won't. Lightroom says the file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom (401). Everything is updated in my computer... Lightroom, Photoshop ect. Photoshop also says that the file cannot be read. I can't open them in iPhoto or preview either. BUT I can see the thumbnail when I click the camera card reader on the desktop. I am uploading from a card reader as well. I shot with this card yesterday and everything was fine. I NEVER delete photos off my camera, and I always format it. If it is corrupted, how do you I find that out, and is there anyway to get my photos back?
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am panicking. Help, please.
Thank you in advance

The two raw files you've uploaded to dropbox are corrupted so Lightroom and Photoshop are giving you the correct message. At least with these two, the embedded JPG preview is there but the raw data is not correct so cannot be rendered. Here is the error that Canon's own software gives when the files are attempted to be edited:
You should reattempt to copy the images from the memory cards to your computer using a card reader and an operating-system function (Explorer or Finder) to do it rather than LR or a cable connected to the camera, then see if things work any better. If you already used a card reader, then try a different one and see if the situation improves.
If you cannot get a better set of images by retransferring them, then we can work through how to extract the embedded JPG previews en masse.

I reactivated my iphone and it keeps saying iphone is not activated

my phone keeps saying iphone is not activated

Hi Kylegundrum,
Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issue is resolved.
Cheers,

HT201209 It say it's not activated properly what does that mean

My iTunes gift card is not activated properly what does that mean?

iTunes Gift Cards do not contain any balance until they are activated at the point of purchase. This means your Gift Card cannot be redeemed. Go back to where you purchased the gift card and ask the retailer to activate it for you.

I have a new canon d7 mark ii and I can not get the raw picture to download in lightroom 6. Lightroom says it does not recognize the raw format. Is there a solution?
