PROBLEM: Acrobat 8 Professional on Vista Ultimate

Hello,
I have a fresh-installed copy of Vista Ultimate released by Dell. I installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 and all went well. It's working. Then I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. Installation went well. But when I try to open the program it opens a white window (that ocupies about 70% of the monitor surface) that closes immediately (not even 1 second). I'm not able to see any window title or any other detail.
I tried to search for this problem on other forums but I couldn't find any solution. I also tried to fix, then reinstall, then reinstall forcing trial mode. Nothing worked. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Later Edit: I've managed to do a print screen when the window was opening.. It has the title loaded: "Adobe Acrobat Professional" and it has the falldown menus (File Edit View Document...) loaded... And that's all... It's all white . Even the window name in the taskbar doesn't appear. Also Windows Vista doesn't give me any error, and it doesn't say that Acrobat has stopped working or anything like this.

I guess it's the latest version since it was downloaded yesterday from adobe website. I think they've integrated those updates in the setup package.
Anyway I've installed "Adobe Acrobat 8 licensing service update (Windows Vista only)" ... as the others were language patches. But I don't have in the Services nothing related to "FNP" ... just FLEXnet Licensing Service... which is active and started. and I followed the steps (I think): started cmd as administrator, and run the program... and I got:
c:\Licensing-Service Patch>InstAS.exe
Trying to install anchor service...
Installation succeeded.
... but no Service added... even my Windows Defender didn't say anything about some program trying to do some changes... this seemed wierd...
Tried to do right click on InstAS.exe and "Run as Administrator".. same thing. I mention that Adobe was closed (also acrotray and acrodist). Still no service or process with that name: FNPLicensingservice . Also did a search on C:\ Drive for "FNPLicensingservice" ... nothing matched.

GX720 problems after upgrading to Vista Ultimate (SOLVED)

Hello.
I have just upgraded my GX720 from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate in order to be able to connect to our domain at work.
The upgrade went without trouble, but I have run in to a small problem with the touch buttons above the keyboard.
The media controllers, and on/off buttons for webcam, bluetooth and W-lan works with out problems, but the Eco and Turbo-button stopped working.
I'm guessing there is some part of the software/drivers from the original installation that went haywire after the upgrade and needs reinstalling, but I have no clue as to what to reinstall.
Any help would make me very happy
As far as system specs I have done no upgrades to bios or firmware since delivery in june but I'm unsure as to the versions running, the only thing I have done is upgrade the drivers to the Wlan as far as I can remember.
I can also add that I tried to do a EC-reset, and a reinstallation of the SCM with no change. Trying to start the SCM manually with the MGSysCtrl.exe only results in a program crash (The program has stopped working).
Kind regards
Mikael

I would say, remove SCM.
Reboot
Goto program-files or whatever the directory is called in Vista, delete the MSI SCM folder
Reboot
Run http://www.ccleaner.com/download (beware of the install options or you get a toolbar for free )
Run cleaning and registry cleaning (until there are no errors left!)
Reboot
Download and reinstall SCM for your machine.
I hope this works, should be. Else use an older version of SCM, like the one that came with your machine.
Good luck.

Just out of interest, I saw a colleague install 11g on XP pro and at the end of the install he get a prompt to tell him the admin panel url and other bits of information. When I installed I got nothing like that but the install did say it was succeessfull. Im wondering now if the database installed correctly or not. Can I check the install log, if so where would it be and what would it be called ?
Any help and sugestion on what to do next would be appreaciated.

Acrobat 7.0 Pro error message in Vista Ultimate..missing printer driver

I use to have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed on my other computer with had XP Pro as its operating system. I could convert any Word 2003 document into a PDF and e-mail it without any problems. I just purchased a new computer with Vista Ultimate 64 bit and every time I try to convert a Word document into a PDF I get an error message that says it can't find the printer driver and to please re-install Acrobat. I did what it said and I keep getting the same error message. I even installed the newest Adobe Reader like it said. I know my printer driver works. Does anyone have a solution? It seems all the money you spend on Adobe products their support staff just wants to wash their hands and send you on some wild goose chase looking for answers on their un-user friendly site instead of answering the question or making any recommendations. If I have to update it so be it. They should have told me that. This is the last time I will fork over $600 on any of their products because their service stinks. I appreciate any help from anyone who has experienced this same problem or who knows how to rectify it. God Bless, Tony

Hi Michael, Thank you so much for the reply. You would think Adobe Support could have told me that so I really appreciate it. Do you know what I need to do to upgrade it ? Can I find an upgrade on E-Bay or do I need to go to COMP USA or some other place to buy the upgrade? Last, what exactly am I looking for to upgrade it to the newest version. (Name of product). I will also remove the other program so it won't have any other issues once I get the upgrade. Thanks again and God Bless, Tony

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended(Vista Ultimate) Data Execution Prevention-program stops working.

When I open Acrobat 9 Pro Extended using Vista Ultimate, I get the message: " Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. Check online for a solution and close."
"To help protect your computer, Data Executuion Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Click to learn more."
Should I change the settings? Will it harm my computer? Shouldn't the software be compatible with Windows Vista Ultimate?

Can you please post the scanner brand with which you see the crash?

Acrobat 9 Pro not compatible with Vista Ultimate

I am running Vista Ultimate and have Acrobat 9 Pro. When I print and choose "Adobe PDF Converter" as my printer I get the following error:
Interactive services dialog detection
Program(s) of devices(s) requesting attention.
Message title: Test Page.pdf Adobe Acrobat Pro
Program path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
Received: November 15 -08, 9:23:58 PM
This problem happens because of partial incompatibility with Windows Vista. Please contact the program of device manufacturer(s) for more information.
Once I acknowledge this the new .pdf file appears.
Do I have a setting wrong?
Thanks

I am having the same problem in Windows 7, did Adobe ever come up with a solution.
We recently upgraded our systems to Windows 7. Since the upgrade, the 'interactive services detection' dialog box opens every time I create a PDF file (I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro). Is there any way to correct this? Acrobat used to open when the file was created (WinXP), now I get the 'isd' box. It creates the file, but the dialog box comes up asking me to view the message. It takes me away from my desktop to view the file (goes to black screen and then displays the file) and I have to close the file in order to get back to my desktop (black screen then back to desktop). I was able to disable it by going into printer preferences and unchecking 'view adobe pdf results', but I would really like to be able to view my PDF's when they are created. (We had Adobe Acrobat Reader X installed initially on the system and then installed the full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, using AAP9 as the default program for pdf's. I don't remember if this problem has been occurring since we installed the full version or after Reader X was uninstalled (program was acting funny, so we uninstalled.) Any suggestions are appreciated.

T61 with Vista Ultimate WON'T replicate CD/DVD like R61 with XP Professional - - - HOW DO I DO THIS?

Tried to copy a CD on new T61 with Vista Ultimate preloaded. Did this with no problems on an R61 with XP Professional. The HELP files say to copy all data to a directory and then copy them to a blank CD. This is NOT what I want or need. It also mentions that OTHER software to do this may be obtainable. I KNOW that Lenove uses ROXIO in its CMD line interface as a brand new system gave me the BSOD when inserting a video DVD and Windows Media Player coughed and died. Took about 3 hours to return to factory settings on a machine I had just customized. Is this another "feature" from Microsoft or what? Can you load ROXIO or other software to DUPLICATE CDs and DVDs. Have the dual layed DVD/CD RW slim ultrabay drive. Who makes this drive anyway?

HL = Hitachi LG and Panasonic are the two that i know of.

I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE. Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone. I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf. Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying. Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

"iTunes could not be installed becasue visual basic script (VB Script) is not installed or has been disabled. make sure VB Script is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VB Script, then install iTunes."
I even get this message when i try to unistall iTunes. I completly uninstalled my antivirus software and removed all firewalls, but i wasnt able to fix the problem.
I visited the iTunes and QuickTime for Windows cannot be installed without Visual Base Script (VBScript) section for help, however, it was unable to solve my problem.

Hey rrijeka,
Unfortunately, Vista is currently not compatible with iTunes.
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042 will tell you more about the iTunes and windows Vista compatability. The article will also be updated when itunes and Vista are compatible.

Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 giving problem

We've a user who has installed Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and xACF on her machine. She also has Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 on her machine which she uses for some other work.
Now the problem is that when she tries to open the Adobe interactive form from CRM system, it by default opens by Adobe Professional 8.0 (AND Professional 8.0 has issues with xACF framework, so she can not edit the form or click any button).
I tried to attach "PDF" documents with Adobe Reader 7.0 on her machine - which works when I double click an existing PDF on her machine - it opens in Reader 7.0.
But as soon as she opens the Interactive form from CRM it opens in Adobe Professional 8.0.
I even tried follwoing in Professional 8.0 -
Edit -> Preferences -> Internet -> Display PDF in browser (Unchecked)
But as soon as I did this the PDF stopped to display and just an icon appeared.
Please let me know how I can resolve this issue of co-existence of Reader 7.0 and Professional 8.0 together on same machine.
Many Thanks,
Vimukta

Hello Michal,
I tried your solution 1. I un-installed both Reader 7.0.8 and Professional 8.0.
Then I re-installed Reader 7.0.8.
Then I re-installed Professional 8.0, but no where during installtion process did it ask me if Professional 8.0 should be default to open PDF files. By default it set it to open PDF files. Now I'm back to original problem.
Solution 2 still works (i.e. open Reader 7.0.8) before opening the URL in web browser (then it opens in Reader 7.0.8).
But we want a permanent solution.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vimukta

Acrobat Professional for Mac...Bookmarks disappear, other problems

I am using a Mac with OS 10.6.6, and using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.5. I find that I often lose some but not all bookmarks in documents after I save the file, close and then reopen the file. I also get one or two randome bookmarks that WILL NOT DELETE no matter what I do.
I also use the link boxes (to insert URLs) and those seem to move around the page, disappear, or move to other pages. Is anyone else having these problems?
I also CANNOT get the 8.2.5 patch to take on my machine.
Any ideas?

Acrobat 8 is not OS X.6 compatible.

Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional

Hello all,
I have the following problem:
When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
Backgroundinfo:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
- Windows XP (SP2)
- MS Word 2002
Thanks in advance!
Bart

Dear Steve,
I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
Any other suggestions?
If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
Anyone ideas?
Grtz,
Bart

PDF Printer not working with Acrobat 8 & Vista Ultimate 64bit

I have not been able to print pdf's. I am uptodate on upgrades and have installed, reinstalled printers and repaired the program etc.
When I install an adobe printer I get the Adobe PDF Converter. When I try to print with it, I get an audible failure signal and nothing ever happens. Sometmes I get a sceen indicating it has failed, sometimes not. I have had this problem since upgrading to a new computer with Vista Ultimate 64bit OS.
I have seen various "Fixes" but none seem to address my problem or work for it.
Anyone with the same problem and perhaps a solution?
