Multiple instance of adobe reader ver. 7 and up

Hi, I've read the article about multiple versions of acrobat installed on a pc, but it only mentions about ver 7 and below. What about the version 8?
I'm trying to install adobe reader 7 AND adobe reader 8, but it won't allow me. Is there any ways to complete this?
Thanks, CMI

Hi
I had a similar issue and wanted both versions. I called Adobe and they said DONT!! capital letters and exclamation marks. So I did. I suggest you dont do this and I have only tested it a few times and it may well mess your system - so DONT !!!!
I had 7 on my sytem and wanted both 7 and 8
I renamed the \adobe\acrobat 7.0 folder \xxacrobat 7
I renamed the folder \adobe reader 7 folder to \xxadobe reader 7.
I then installed Acrobat 8 from Adobe.com and it didnt take the folders away, so I changed the names back again.
PDFs automatically open with 8, even if you use Open with and find the path to AcroRd32.exe in the Adobe 7.0\Reader folder.
HOWEVER
If you open the AcroRd32.exe in the Reader 7 folder and then use File Open it appears to open your document in Vrsion 7.0.
Please dont do this on a system that you care if it never loads again - else enjoy.

  • How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

    Hi,
      How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
    The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
       adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
    but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
    please help

    I don't think you can run two instances.
    But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

  • Having a problem downloading w/Adobe Reader Ver. 9.4.2 that does not occur with Ver 8.2.0

    I use a screening service
    for rental applicants that provides their reports in pdf format.  I am unable to view or view some of their reports when using Adobe Reader Ver. 9.4.2.  However, I can view and print all of their reports when using Adobe Reader 8.2.0.

    There is no Adobe Reader version 9.4.2 (yet); the latest version is 9.4.0.  If you do have 9.4.2, then it is most likely not a genuine Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Reader Ver. 9

    I have a .pdf file made by GNUCash that cannot be viewed by
    Adobe Reader Ver. 9/Vista. It can be viewed just fine in versions 7
    and 8 and with .pdf viewers under Linux. What is the problem and
    how do I fix it?

    Thank you for your post.

  • Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

    I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
    A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
    But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
    Thank you in advance.
    Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

  • Quick Printing from Outlook 2010sp1 / Adobe reader X and XI

    Hey all,
    We have a problem with printing multiple PDF attachments from Outlook 2010. When a user wants to print a e-mail with two of more PDF attachments only one attachment gets printed, after that Adobe Reader gives a Error message that the documents cannot be found. I found some "solutions" on the net, but none of them works with the combination of Outlook 2010sp1 and Adobe reader X and XI.
    I hope you guys have a sollutions for this, or help me find one. Also if you need more information please ask!
    Thanks!

    Just a little update:
    When I open a e-mail with multiple PDF attachemts, and then use the normal print function it works. All the attachments are getting printed. But when I use the normal Print function from say the inbox. (same like Quick Print) it doenst work.
    So I guess there is a diffrence in how Outlook sends the Print and Quick Print command (DDE?) to Adobe Reader when the e-mail is open.

  • Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5 - FDF Issue

    I have an issue that only happens when using Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5.
    When submitting a form from within a PDF, the FDF that gets sent is completely blank.
    Tested on Mac OSX 10.4 with Adobe Reader 9 - no issue
    Tested on Mac OSX 10.5 with Adobe Reader 8 - no issue
    Tested on Mac OSC 10.5 with Adobe Professional 8 - no issue
    It only seems to be a combination of OSX 10.5 and Reader 9. Does anyone have any clue about the settings of these two and what might be happening?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
    But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
    Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

    Windows Vista.
    I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

    The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

    I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

    Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

    Hi noswam123,
    If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.
