My Acrobat 9 Pro + Designer 8 installation is 2,448MB!

Below are the primary folders for my Acrobat 9 Pro installation on Windows 7 64 bit. There are a few other folders, but not much space used. It looks like the folders 'Designer 8.2', 'Setup Files', and 'Update' folders are taking up 1,648 MB, leaving about 622 MB of actual Acrobat 9 Pro program files. I assume the Setup Files folder can be deleted or moved to backup, but what about the 496MB Update folder? Adobe Designer 8.2 takes up 517 MB by itself. I haven't used it yet, but do occasionally need to do business forms. Is it worth that much HDD space?
At about 2.5GB Acrobat Pro 9 + Designer 8 program files takes up almost as much disk space as CS5 Design Standard plus Lightroom 3. Any feedback is appreciated.

What has happened is that you have selected to install the PDF add-on which will not run alongside your version of Acrobat. Without warning, the installation just uninstalls the incompatible full version of Acrobat.
I don't think you can just uninstall the add-on so you will need to uninstall Rh, reinstall Acrobat 9 then reinstall Rh deselecting the add-on.
I am not sure that will be entirely trouble free as Word has to be compatible with Acrobat and I don't know if your two versions are.
It's not a way of forcing you to upgrade but I do agree it could be handled better.

Acrobat Pro XI fails installation on Mac Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3

I've downloaded the Acrobat Pro XI Trial installation package twice. Each time I run the installer it fails. As the installer proceeds I see the following messages:
Copying Files
Running Scripts
Validating Packages
As soon as the "Validating Packages" message appears it is replaced by a message indicating that the Installation Failed.
In the PDApp.log file I see a number of error messages like the following:

Adobe Acrobat Pro-7 Re-installation - Lost Serial Number

I've had Acrobat Pro-7 for years. I don't use it often, but when I do, it is invaluable. Recently, I had to run the "re-installation" routine, found in a separate folder for that purpose. After re-installing the program (which was successful) the program now puts up an error box stating "No valid Acrobat serial number found. Acrobat will now quit". I have my serial number, which is also available on my Adobe Account, but I have no way to enter it. How can I start Acrobat in a way that will allow me to activate it or enter my serial number?? I no longer have the original media from the purchase done years ago. Thanks in advance.

uninstall all acrobat and reader versions, clean all and then reinstall, Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
if you still see an invalid serial number message, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite

Problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI after installation on Mac

I just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac. My Mac has the correct version of OS and Safari yet I can not launch Adobe. When I launch it, an error box comes up and says a problem has been reported to Adobe. That's as far as it gets. Has anyone had this problem before?

Hi lsgahan,
Please try the following steps and let me know.
Delete all the files from following folders:
Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
Launch Acrobat and enter the serial number when prompted and check.

Acrobat Pro XI and Acrobat Pro 9 Simultaneous Installation

Greetings -
At our institution we have a contract to license Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and related projects. I have a constituent whose computer now has Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, but he would also like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. Can both products coexist?
Anthony -

Hi mullenanthonyj ,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, firstly you would not be able to install Acrobat 9 over Acrobat 11.
Secondly Adobe does not recommend installing two versions of Acrobat together on one system, i might create unexpected behavior in functionality
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh.

Installing Acrobat Pro with Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium

Good day. We have the license for Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium. Adobe Acrobat Pro is in installation. But when I installed it, Acrobat asked a license key, and did not want to work with our license key. Other apps work good. Can you help with it?
Best regards, Alex.

Printer spooler error when attempting to install Acrobat Pro (also Reader)

I tried to install the trial version of Acrobat Pro today. Installation would not complete due to an inability to stop the print spooler.
After this failure to install, I was no longer able to access my printer via the previously installed Acrobat Reader. I uninstalled Reader and attempted to reinstall it, only to discover the same print spooler problem. Neither program will now install.
I am running the latest version of Windows 8. Can anybody help?

Back with more information.
After rebooting I successfully installed Acrobat Reader XI and established that it could contact the printer.
I then tried to install the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI. The procedure was slightly different this time, as this time it went via Adobe Creative Cloud, but the installation failed.
The error report follows:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:

Installing Acrobat Pro X

I signed up for the Adobe Creative Cloud thinking it was a really great idea. However, I'm having some serious issues installing the software. I finally got Dreamweaver to load after discovering the tip to install the trial and then enter my Adobe ID in the Dreamweaver setup process. Then I installed the trial of Acrobat Pro. The installation process didn't ask me for my Adobe ID, and now I have the distict pleasure of have a trial installation of Acrobat counting down the days until it expires. I entered my Creative Cloud serial number in the trial window but to no avail. The window says that it is not valid. How do I activate my installation of Acrobat? You guys need to seriously work on your cloud install methods!!! >:-(

I updated Adobe Application Manager. After the update and upon attempting to install Acrobat Pro from AAM, I get a message stating, "The download appears corrupted. Press Cancel, wait a few minutes and try again. (-60)" This is the same message I receive whenever I attempt to install anything from AAM. However, now I see a deactivate option in Acrobat Pro even though AAM does not indicate that it is installed. Furthermore, I'm not getting a popup telling me to license the software or continue with the trial. When I was getting the popup yesterday, I would enter my Create Cloud serial number in the serial number field, but it wouldn't accept it. The Adobe Create Cloud is the only number I've recieved in relation to Acrobat Pro X.
So, the short story is that I MAY now have a successful installation of Acrobat Pro. But if I do, I don't know why, and I couldn't replicate the process.

Can't update re-install of Acrobat Pro 8

Hi, all,
I've just tried to install the Acrobat Pro 8.22 patch but received the "no installer files" error. I used the MS Installer cleanup utility to remove Acrobat Pro from the installer, then reinstalled Acrobat successfully, but then when I tried to update I was told no updates are available. Since it was then at v8.0, I knew this was wrong. I uninstalled/reinstalled and was happy to see that the product would update, but it would update only as far as v8.1.3. I next downloaded all the available updates for a manual install, but when I double-click on the MSP files, instead of running the patch, all I get are a list of options. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to reset the updates so the Acrobat no longer thinks it's fully patched? Or if there's a way to repair the MSP function so I can run the MSP files and manually installl the patches?
TIA,
GaryK

I got nailed by that update this morning, and am currently restoring my Windows XP-SP3 system from a backup.
Look at your %SystemRoot%\Installer folder. I bet it's completely empty. It's supposed to have a lot of files and folders in it.
At first I just received that obscure "installation failed" message that the Updater throws up (by the way, Updater looks a little different this time around, doesn't it?) After an hour or so of working on the PC a few desktop icons for installed programs went blank, looking like a white box with a blue bar on top of the box. I tried seaching for the icon and was getting messages about %SystemRoot%\Installer\{<some long alphanumeric directory>} not found.
I looked in the %SystemRoot%\Installer folder and it was completely empty.
I booted up a backup hard drive I had been on a couple of weeks ago (I recently migrated to a SSD drive) and looked at %SystemRoot%\Installer and it was full of folders and files. A few minutes later the Updater told me I should apply the update. I did, it failed. I looked into %SystemRoot%\Installer again and it was completely empty.
I'm now restoring from a backup of that hard drive, which I made in case my foray into SSD drives didn't work out.

Acrobat Pro 9 as part of Design Premium

I have Design Premium installed and Acrobat Pro 9 is working perfectly. I would like to deinstall all of the other programs in Design Premium except
Acrobat. I only have need for that one program. Has anyone ever done that and if so can you give me any hints of the best way to do it. Thanks

You can uninstall most of the suite, but I do not believe you can uninstall all of it. Use the DVD to start the installer, you will have a choice to uninstall most components. But if you only need Acrobat, then why did you get the suite? Personally, I'd leave Photoshop and Illustrator for editing the pdfs as needed but that is just me.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer. Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only. On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

My Acrobat 9 Pro + Designer 8 installation is 2,448MB!
