Moving Acrobat X Standard

My old pc came with Acrobat X Standard pre-loaded. I just upgraded to a new pc and would like to move Acrobat to the new machine. How do I go about it? The license on my old pc is registered with Adobe. I don't have any media from Dell for Acrobat.

You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html I think. The issue may be the Std version. If it is not there, you might search the forum for other posts about this as it has been asked several times. You will still need to get the SN from Adobe for the install, based on your registration.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Serial Number

I puchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard that came with a Dell Vostro 1710. I have since stopped using that Laptop and moved the Adobe Acrobat to a workstation with is a older Dell Dim 8400. I am now replacing that workstation with a New Dell XPS 8500 and wish to move the AA 9.0 Standard to this workstation.
Somewhere along the line I lost the Serial Number but have the install CD. I pulled the serial number from the Dell Dim 8400 and inserted it into the install for the Dell 8500 but get "Invalid Serial Number".
I'm only running the software on one system....do I need to deactivate on the older system first? I did not have this problem when I moved it from the older Laptop to the older workstation.

The serial number might be on the system, but only in encrypted form. As long as you registered or can provide proof of purchase, the Adobe folks may be able to help.

Acrobat X Standard User: How can I view PDF metadata from a folder level?

Hello All,
This is my first post to this community. I would not be surprised if the answer to my question can be found in a simple search or tutorial. However, I assure you that I have been searching, clicking, reading and even attempting to install new software all morning and have only succeeded in further confusing myself.
I'm running Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 7 machine. My job includes the management of legal documents of conveyance. All conveyance instruments have a set of unique identifiers such as the county where the deed was filed, the book and page where it is filed, the type of instrument, and the date it was filed. Historically I have tried to jam all of this information and more into the file name of a pdf. For example: "105_Bk109-Pg188_Assignment_05251950" is the name of a file that I have open right now that indicates an Assignment filed in Crockett County, Texas (code 105) at Book 109, Page 188 and recorded on May 25, 1950. I typically work in folders that contain around a hundred similar documents with all of the fields I have described varying. My objective is to begin moving this information into the metadata or properties of the individual PDFs AND then be able to view those fields in Windows Explorer from the folder level. As I understand it, this is not possible. When I began searching for an alternative solution, I found several references to Adobe Bridge and attempted to install it. The installation failed, but more importantly I am not interested in becoming a CC user as I don't feel like it is necessary for what I am trying to accomplish. I'm not working with HD photos or video.
So my question is this: Is there a way (that doesn't involve purchasing and learning Adobe Bridge) that I can modify the attributes/metadata/properties of a pdf, and then see the modifications in a folder viewer without opening the pdf? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for responding. I suspected that my understanding of metadata was incomplete or inaccurate. As I understand it, the metadata for any given pdf can be found by first opening the pdf; clicking File -> Properties, which opens a dialog box titled "Document Properties". The first tab in the dialog box is "Description" and includes the fields File, Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. The values for these fields are what I'm referring to as metadata. Additionally, from the Document Properties dialog box, clicking on the "Custom" tab allows you to create custom properties and values, which I also considered to be metadata. I have manipulated these fields for a certain pdf as shown in the two screenshots below:
After making this changes, I saved the pdf and closed it. I then navigated to the folder where the pdf is stored using Windows Explorer. As you can in the following screen shot of WE, that the pdf I have made the changes to is the first in the list. The Windows Explorer columns include: Title, Pages, Author, and Subjects, but their values are all blank and fail to show what I have assigned them in the PDF properties (or what I thought was metadata). As for my custom fields, Windows does not give me any kind of option to display those. Windows inability to display something as simple as the number of pages in the PDF is completely baffling to me.
My objective is to be able to modify the standard document properties of a PDF with usable information, those being Title , Author, Subject, and Keywords. I would also like to be able to create the custom properties with additional useful information. I would then like to be able to use a file manager, to view the contents of a folder full of pdfs, similar to the screenshot above, and see the properties and custom field values that i have assigned to the pdfs in columns of the list of pdfs. Windows Explorer is the only file manager I have ever used. It's possible that the solution to my problem could be as simple as changing file managers. It may be that what I'm after is not possible at. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have Acrobat 9 Standard License, but cannot re-install to upgrade to XI

Hello.
I have Acrobat 9 Standard, but have switched hardware to a device that does not have a CD/DVD drive. I want to reinstall so I can update to Acrobat XI.
The problem is that when I looked at the purchase flow to do that, the file is an "upgrade" file, not the full version of Acrobat XI. The old Acrobat download page here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html only has the Pro versions which my license key is not valid.
All other avenues I tried to get a 9 Standard download have failed, so I'm hoping there is a work around to be able to use my license key from 9 Standard and get whatever I need from there. I've searched through these forums but am not finding anything definitive. Anyone?
Thanks.

It's an absurd thing to sell computers without CD/DVD drives, don't you think? It's a weird idea that comes from the US where many people have fabulous broadband, and moving gigabytes to the web to back it up is no issue at all. In my part of the world it's a sick joke. I believe a plug-in CD/DVD drive is an absolute must.
Not least because you'll want to back up Acrobat XI download on to a CD/DVD. If you don't, and in a couple of years Adobe don't offer it any longer, then that's the money down the drain - many times the cost of a drive.
Happily to solve this problem you don't meed to get Acrobat 9 Standard installed. You can indeed put in the license key when asked for it (it will ask for "qualifying product"). You can choose to upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard or Acrobat XI Pro, I think but be very sure to choose Acrobat Standard as your qualifying software.

Acrobat X Standard - slow to open (with workaround)

I have an issue with Acrobat X Standard (10.1.5) occuring in a consistant manner on many machines: opening any pdf takes 5-8 seconds. During this time the cursor spins, but the pdf does eventually happen. The *only* fix for this issue is remove the Annots.api file from within the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\plug_ins directory. When this file is removed (or renamed) Acrobat will open pdf documents in less than a second.
This is 100% consistant behavior, and workaround, across many computers. It does not seem to matter if this is a 9.x to X upgrade, or a fresh installation of X. This is a show-stopper that prevents deployment of Acrobat X Standard to thousands of workstations.
What, exactly, does Annots.api do? I am assuming it is needed to perform some annotation/comment functionality and it would be unwise to remove this file from all computers. I would be happy to send a copy to an Adobe support representative, otherwise I would like to know if this is a known-issue or if there is a more suitable workaround.
Details:
Windows 7 x64 professional
Acrobat X Standard with latest 10.1.5
Appears to be any pdf (a simple one-page doc, form, embedded active content, etc)

Acrobat X Standard - slow to open

Good morning;
I am working to resolve an issue with Acrobat X Standard (10.1.5). It appears that loading stamps when Acrobat opens causes a timely delay, depending on the number and size of stamps files. This has not previously been an issue with 8.x and 9.x using the exact same number of stamps files.
If you look at the table below, I've used procmon to measure the time it takes for Acrobat process to start to the time the file is displayed on the screen and the UI is responsive. "Only default" refers to the 7 stamps files that are included with Acrobat Standard out of the box. We use an additional 7 files for customized stamps related to our business.
Stamps
Load time
none
1.7 seconds
only default
3.9 seconds
only custom
7.1 seconds
default + custom
14.2 seconds
As you can see, as you add more files the load time increases at a fairly steady increment (note that load times are probably 20-30% bloated due to the overhead of running procmon).
I understand there will be some add'l load time as more stamps are used, but considering the same stamps with 8.x and 9.x only took a fraction of the time (2 seconds, on average), there is clearly a big loss of efficiency here. Is there anything that can be done to reduce this, besides the obvious answer of removing all stamps (which is not an option).

Editing PDF files in Adobe Acrobat X1 Standard

I have just purchased adobe acrobat 11 standard after using adobe acrobat 7 for quite a while and I am having trouble finding certain features that I have used a lot in the past. Hopefully someone can give me guidance as to if the features i need were taken out since Adobe 7 or how I can find them in XI.
There is no tab available (“Document” tab) that gives you options to insert, extract, and other related type doc functions. Also, there was a tab of options in the old adobe to insert (and move around) - arrows, lines, ovals, rectangles, etc and also a typewriter function that allowed for easy movement in the document. In XI, there is an add text function but it is not very user friendly (hard to relocate typed data). In the old adobe I had (7), there was also an option to be able to rotate either an individual page or entire document and then save those view selections if you wanted to. Does this program not have these or am I just missing something. It just seems like there isn’t much I am able to do like with the other adobe…. Forgive my ignorance on these matters as there is probably something simple I am just not seeing there.

All this stuff moved under TOOLS. Except the stuff under COMMENT. For instance, insert pages is under the PAGES section of TOOLS. For some reason Adobe thought this would be easier for us all.

Can I convert .pdf documents to word and back again using Acrobat 9 Standard?

COMPATIBILITY OF ACROBAT 9 STANDARD WITH WINDOWS 8.1

We have Acrobat 9 Standard but since we moved to Windows 8.1 the files become blurred and there is a error message saying the licence has expired...
Is it posible to make Acrobat 9 Standard work on Windows 8.1?4

As far as I know, AA 9 will probably work on Win8.1, though MS seems to be trying to make such things hard. You may likely have to install updates. As for the license, I have the same question as TSN. The blurring may simply be setting the display preferences for smoothing or it could be the specific PDF. Be sure to open a standard PDF (such as a download from Adobe -- like the manual for your version at Archive). I have also heard that many things in Win8.1 are an improvement and other things are apparently ticking a lot of users off. I am not a Win8.1 user, so I am only speculating. At this point, I think the first thing you need to do is open Acrobat and use Help>Updates and install updates until you are current. That may solve some of the problems. The display preferences may solve the rest (unless you are just looking at a bad PDF -- reason to look at the manual I suggested).

Can't open up acrobat XI standard.

after I downloaded acrobat XI standard, i ended up with 2 icons , one with looks like the usual acrobat icon but i can't get it to open up. the other looks like a file icon labeled acrobat XI but when I open this it goes a file page with . things that would be in a breakdown of every thing that makes up acrobat XI. when i go to the usual Icon it asks me for my version and serial number BUT its doesn't have acrobatXI listed. when i just list serial number it says it recognizes serial number but it doesn''t match any version listed? should i delete everything and try to download again?

Corrupt documents after switchover to Acrobat X Standard from Acrobat 5

At this workplace, we have had Acrobat 5 Standard copying and pasting pages from any PDF file from suppliers, Lanier printer / scanner units, AutoCAD.
We have now moved to Acrobat 10 Standard, with latest updates.
Aribitrarily people have been opening the odd existing PDF file and added some pages and saved with Acrobat 10 Standard.
On re-open we have encountered file corruption behaviour - using Acrobat 10 Standard and Acrobat 10 Viewer, we are seeing one or two thumbnails as blank.
I've tried googling for recovery tools and have worked through oh, 5 or so - in short, they are not able to do anything worthwhile - first page only or did not complete the process.
My most successful attempts are:
1. Sumatra PDF - it can see 95 out of 100 pages (the last pages are blank) which is impressive
2. FoxitPDF Reader - similar
3. PDF XChange - similar
Writing out a clean PDF of 95 pages is another task.
My Questions:
1. Why does the odd PDF corrupt? It does not happen everytime when Acrobat X Standard re-edits the existing old pdf files?
2. How can we resolve this issue?
3. What is the most effective repair utility if there is one better than the others?
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Good idea about Save As. I myself often save versions of Excel and Word documents as I work but this workplace here doesn't do that for their PDF documents. It is a good idea, increases the files but they have enough network server space (Microsoft Servers). They enclose all kinds of pages into a one document so that they can keep track of the entity - no IT reason why they can't adopt a safer practice in the interim until this is sorted out.
The source files could come from email, scanner, AUTOCAD. However, their issue is that the single destination file was originally ok, the new incoming files are originally ok and when they insert pages into the good destination file using pages from good incoming files, they end up with pdf corruption after save and re-open.
They are not worried about backward compatibility - they now have all Adobe Acrobat Standard 10.
Will batch file conversion help in any way? That is, process all these files to Acrobat 10 level, then use Acrobat 10 normally?
How do they do batch file conversion - can they do that with Acrobat 10 Standard?
Thanks anyone for your help

Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.

Creating Back navigation in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

I have a huge pdf - actually an e-book - of more than 350 pages. Each page contains a health therapy with certain words hyperlinked which go to an explanation in the glossary, which is towards the end of the document. This means that the reader could click off page 9 to find themselves in page 320, and then after they've got their explanation, they will want to return to their original page (9).
So how do I get them back easily?
On Acrobat 7, there was a way of doing this. And it is explained here in this tutorial:
http://library.queensu.ca/webir/e-theses/word-to-pdf-etd_tutorial.pdf
The way to do it is found in Lesson 4, Section 3. It says:
* In the Actions pane select the "Execute a menu item" then click on the "Edit" button.
* The Menu Item dialog box presents itself. Select, from the menu, "View>Go To> Previous View.
My problem is that none of these navigation titles such as Actions, or Bookmarks Properties, or Execute a Menu Item appear in my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
And I'm not even sure whether Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard can perform this navigation tool, or whether it is only available in Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. I rang Technical Support, but they didn't know. So they referred me to Customer Services, but they didn't know. So Customer Services referred me to Sales, and they didn't know ...
So please can anyone here help? I would be very grateful.
Thanks for listening!

Thank you for your swift response,
The problem is that the form has to be filled out and then submitted via email, as you mentioned the email clients have trouble, I do not have a problem with the amount of submissions as I do not think I will ever hit the max on the form.
I have been doing some digging, can I use "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save In Adobe Reader" function on the form so the users can fill out the form and then save it? And if so are you also able to have the "submit Form" function with this or can it only be one or the other?
Thanks in Advance
