Mac Acrobat 8 Professional crash

After a HDD replacement and a fresh install of 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on my Mac, I reinstalled my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to work perfectly pre-crash. Now Adobe crashes after 20-30 seconds with an enormous crash report. Won't run for love nor money. Worked before. Works on other Mac 10.6.8 machines around the office installed with the same disk, by the same person (me). Won't go - Broken. Can anyone decipher the crash reports, or suggest a fix (other than pay Adobe more money to upgrade)? If I pay money, it won't be to Adobe......

Crash Report:
Sorry about this....But the crash report is really long and this window won't allow it

  • Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software

    Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software. I use Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 to assist me when I add comments to a PDF. I also use it when making additions or changes to text.  When I use the two software programs together, Acrobat constantly crashes.  If it doesn't crash, an error occurs trying to save the file.  I entered 988 comments into a 158-pg PDF, only to find the file was corrupted and couldn't be printed. I also could not see the list of comments (click Show Comments). 
    These problems do not occur if I don't use both products simultaneously.

    Never overwrite a clip that is used in Pr.  Give the
    modified/corrected/updated clip a new name and import that into your Pr
    project.  Then Alt+Drag the new clip on top of the old clip in the
    timeline to replace the clip instance.
    If import-then-drag isn't your style, then right-clicking the original
    clip in the Project panel and selecting Replace Footage will accomplish
    the same thing.
    This important rule applies in Encore as well.

  • Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application xp

    Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application. I have adobe acrobat 8.1 running on a dell vostro 1400 vista.

    Are you sure it's crashed and not 'temporarily-frozen'?
    I'm having this issue with Acrobat 9, in which it launches and runs long enough to page down two times and then stops responding for about 30 seconds.

  • Adobe acrobat 8 professional crashes in mountain lion

    I just bought a new IMAC with mountain lion. I realize some of the older programs no longer work with it but I reinstalled adobe acrobat 8 professional and it does not seem compatable. I tried downloading an update and a patch but it constantly freezes, trying to use the text edit doesn't work and crashes the program or locks it up. I need to be able to edit PDFS and the program no longer works. Any suggestions?

    You could try using spotlight to search for PDF files... short of that, you may have to ask Adobe.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - Crash Problem

    The error appears when I open Acrobat, but also if I open any folder containing a PDF. The error reads "A serious error has been detected and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional cannot continue. Please re-install the application and try again." If Okay is clicked Acrobat shuts down. Have tried repair and uninstall / reinstall. Noted on some forumn web pages that I need to remove the Adobe foldes before reinstall, bu tI could not find them.  Any suggestions?

    The Adobe folder should be under Program Files on your system. On my Win7 system they are in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0.

  • Acrobat 8 Professional Crashing - Printing/Plotting

    Hi,
    I have spent the better part of two days modifying some very large .pdf files created from Microstation drawings. (A couple of these drawings are 25 to 30 MB.)
    I have added clouding and call-outs to the drawings I received from my client.
    When I try to print or plot these drawings, a message window opens which shows the progress. At approximately 5% flattening, the print status window disappears, and a window with Adobe Acrobat at the top opens... the window is black with the exception of a button that says "Okay" when I select OK, the black window closes. In some cases I receive a message stating that Acrobat has stopped working, and in other cases it can continue.
    Looking at the events log the following information is presented:
    Faulting application Acrobat.exe, version 8.1.0.137, time stamp 0x46444c82, faulting module Acrobat.dll, version 8.1.2.86, time stamp 0x4788548f, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000acf04, process id 0x1c14, application start time 0x01c8f01ec7e0c1bc.
    The only thing that I did to the drawings is add the clouds and call-outs. I'm now dead in the water with all of the work I have done this weekend.
    I'm hoping someone can tell me what to do to correct this problem.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your reply.
    You are correct, I am using Acrobat to add notes and other details to documents that have been provided to me in .pdf format. The files were originally by my customer in Microstation (a CAD package) format; but, they output them as a .pdf so that I could add my details. (I use AutoCAD to prepare drawings, so the Microstation files would not work.)
    Basically, the large file size that I reference is for a single drawing... in other words, a single sheet. The size of the document makes it really hard to work with... it takes a long time to load, and a long time to move around the .pdf. In other words, it isn't possible to break it down into something smaller.
    I hope I answered your questions.
    Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
    Jeff Bennett

  • Acrobat 8 Professional crashes while adding security options

    I am trying to set the security options in a document I converted using the PDF Maker in MS Word 2003. Every time I try this, I get a message saying "Acrobat has encountered a problem and must close." Help???

    I don't know what you mean by "with the security off". I am creating the document within MS Word, but once it has been converted to PDF I open Acrobat and set all the options from within Acrobat. I usually set some document options such as how it should open, etc. and then I set the security options. I can create the PDF using either the PDF Maker icon on the Word toolbar or use the print to the Adobe PDF printer option. It's after I open the document in Acrobat and start working with the security options. I can set how the document opens, but it hangs up when I go to the security tab of that same menu.
    Here is a step by step account of what I am doing:
    I open my document in MS Word, then I either choose the icon that on the toolbar to convert to PDF or I choose the Adobe PDF printer from my list of printers from the "print" menu.
    I close the document and then open the PDF version in Adobe Acrobat.
    I then choose from the File menu the Properties option and start to make my setting there, i.e. how the document opens, magnification, etc. and then I choose the "security" tab to set the security options.
    I can get as far as the actually password menu and then it freezes when either I get to that menu or I try to click the checkbox to set a password for no copying, editing, etc.
    The same sequence of events happens no matter whether I use the PDF Maker icon in MS Word or use the "print to" the PDF printer in MS Word.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 professional Mac will not upgrade from 8.1.5 to 11.0.9

    Hi:
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional for Mac version 8.1.5 trying to upgrade to 11.0.9 but when I download the update it fails to grab the application. Although its visible, to advise to install the update it will not allow me to click on update. I am using a MacMini running on
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    From AA 8, you have to purchase the full AA XI. There is no upgrade for products before AA 9. You should not have been able to purchase XI from Adobe as an upgrade with only 8 as the prior product.

  • Having trouble merging powerpoint or word files in single PDF in acrobat X professional on mac book pro

    Hi
    I am having trouble merging word and poerpoint files into single PDF by acrobat X professional on a mac book pro. Error says its not supported format. Why is that? It works perfectly on windows. Is the feature of merging office files not enabled in Mac version of software?

    Hi Adam,
    Welcome to the forums. They've really helped my Mac learning-curve since first getting a Mac in late April.
    It sounds to me from reading the different ways you want to use your computer that you would be very well suited for the Macbook. I have the Macbook Pro but I got it about 3 weeks before the Macbooks came out. And I was quite upset. I use my computer mainly for word editing, watching DVDs and picture management. I will have to admit the 15.4" screen is great for side-by-side document editing, but aside from that, I would think that for my needs the Macbook would have been perfect.
    For the money I spent on the low end Macbook Pro I could have gotten the fastest Macbook with 2GB RAM. Instead I have the slowest MBP with only 512MB of RAM which was painfully slow when multitasking. I upgraded to 1GB and it was a huge difference.
    But really... I never use the video card. And since I love the portability of the Macbook Pro, another 2 inches off the body would be AMAZING since the 15" is a little big...
    That's my 2 cents.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Random Crash (Access Violation)

    hi all. first time poster. long time reader.
    i have encountered an odd access violation problem - 'ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 - The instruction at "blah" referenced memory at "blah". The memory could not be "blah" - in 'acrobat.dll' recently with a customer who is experiencing seemingly random crashes with adobe acrobat 8 professional.
    they are running the application off a citrix presnetation server 4.5 server (windows server 2003 R2 with service pack 2). each server is hosting about 8 or more users per server per day. every now and then, ie once a day, adobe acrobat crashes during use. there doesn't appear to be anything consistent in so far as the action the user is performing. they will be mid-way through marking up a document and it will just crash for one of them. all the others will continue working fine.
    i have access to numerous crash dumps and nothing seems to really stand out...other than 'Acrobat_3000000!AVAcroALM_Destroy'. For example...

    is 'AVAcroALM' to do with licensing?
    other than advising them to bring citrix presentation server 4.5 up to date (HRP2) i'm at a loss what to advise. citrix often have issues with seamless published applications when spread across multiple monitors (as in this case), hence, my reason to ask them to bring their software up to date. often the funtion called will be different - often times 'Acrobat.dll!PDDocCreateWordFinderEx', other times 'Acrobat.dll!PDDocAcquirePage' and there are others.
    i can post more of the mini-dump if required. any - and ALL - assitance appreciated.
    thanks.

  • I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

    I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

    I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

  • Trying to restore adobe acrobat 8 professional for the mac version 8.3.1

    Is there a specific site for this product?  I was directed to the Acrobat XI Pro site, but my serial number will not work for that product.  Any suggestions?

    Mikem if you were able to get Acrobat 8 to install in Mac OS 10.8.5 then it is likely the only functionality you would have would be the ability to edit PDF files.
    I am sorry but I don't know of any method for you to get an additional copy of the installation files.  If you do have your software registered you can qualify for the upgrade pricing for Acrobat 11 Professional.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.  You can also find a free 30 day trial if you have a PDF you need to edit at the moment and you wish to evaluate the software.

  • Where can I download Acrobat X Professional for Mac OS

    Hi... would you know where I can download adobe acrobat X Pro for Mac? I have an activation code, but can't seem to find a downloadable version of Acrobat X Pro for Mac anywhere on Adobe's website? All I see is XI.

    Branching this to a new discussion.
    Curlee14 if you purchased Acrobat X Professional from Adobe directly then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased software.

  • Mac Acrobat X opens then crashes after 8 seconds, how do you fix this Adobe?

    I am trying to use Acrobat Pro X 10.1.3 on Mac 10.10.2.
    Every time I open either the application or a pdf file, Acrobat Pro X crashes after about 8 seconds.
    From looking at the forums, it seems many people have asked a similar question, however there does not appear to be a solution that works for Macs.
    Acrobat Pro X is part of CS5.5 suite. Reinstalled on a new iMac and all Adobe products updated including Acrobat X.
    Older version of Acrobat works on my old Mac but not here.
    I have resorted to Acrobat Reader, however I need to use Acrobat Pro X.
    Any solution or work around for Mac would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please try the following steps and let me know if that worked.
    Delete all the files from following folders:
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.
