Question: using Adobe CS6 on Windows 8

I am about to purchase Adobe CS6 soon. Noticed that the specifcations say it needs at least Win XP or Win 7. I will be using Windows 8 & need clear clarification that Adobe CS6 will work perfectly and smoothly on Windows 8.  If there are serious setbacks or problems to using adobe cs6 on Win 8, what are the problems I can expect & why? thank you.

There's a 30-day fully functional trial download which you should install then immediately update to the current version (menu Help > Updates). Make sure the trial runs well on your computer before buying a licence.

  • Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Yes, I can open the DPS portal via the Folio Builder panel within InDesign. Although I have created Folios locally within InDesign CS6, the DPS portal is empty and everthing greyed out with just the text "There are no folios to display. Create folios with the folio builder in InDesign".
    If I try to sign in within the Folio Builder panel in InDesign, I get the error message [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE] . In addition I am also not able to access the "Help" menu from within InDesign although I am connected to the internet.
    To complicate it even further, I am working in the UK whereas all internet control (firewall) and licences are handeled by head office in Germany. I am not sure if this is a firwewall issue or not but if the IT department in Germany could get support from Adobe to understand the access requirements, this may help.
    Hopefully using the forum someone out there will know the answer.

  • Hi; i have questions in Illustrator cs6 in windows 8:

    hi; i have questions in Illustrator cs6 in windows 8:
    adobe illustrator has detected some registry association issues, which need to be rectified for illustrator to work properly. to fix this, right click illustrator.exe and select "run as administrator" to have the required privileges. illustrator will then attempt to correct this problem.
    I, of course, choose yes and everything starts up with no problem. I close Illustrator and start it up again and I get the same error. I can use Illustrator with no problems, but this error comes up every single time I start Illustrator.

    Issue: Adobe Illustrator has detected some registry association issues, which need to be rectified for Illustrator to work properly.  To fix this, right click Illustrator.exe and select "Run as Administator" to have the required privileges.  Illustrator will then attempt to correct this problem
    If this is happening on non admin accounts the below solution can fix the issue.
    Resolution: Make  the user an administrator and open the Illustrator  then removed the administrator rights and if you launch the application again, it will use the registry created in admin mode and this will corrected the problem.

    Which version of Photoshop do you have? The current version is 13.0.6.

  • How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

    How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.
    This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Amanda,
    Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
    I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
    Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

    You may need to contact Adobe Support if this does not resolve your issue:

  • Installing Adobe CS6 on Windows 8 (2012) Consumer Preview

    Hello,
    First off, yes I know it isn't supported by Adobe (yet), however, I want to present to you my case for future users.
    I have been investigating an issue I have ever since I got an Error 101 with Adobe Download Assistant where after extracting, I get an error from "Set-up.exe" that it failed to initalize. What is even more interesting is that CS5 trial can run smoothly.
    PDApp.log:

    Meanwhile, the log even said that "Reboot is pending", and I have rebooted several times and also tried to find the registry key "InProgress" myself. There was no sign of that key anywhere.
    Solutions I have tried:
    Rebooted
    Deleted Adobe OODE directory
    Used Adobe CS cleaner tool
    Redownloaded trial from Assistant Manager and directly from trial2.adobe.com
    Checked to see I had enough disk space. (My partition has 250 GB left).
    I am an admin, and ran the program under administrator.

    I haven't seen any success trying to run CS5 or CS6 under Windows 8 Consumer Preview yet.
    For CS6, It turns out that the whole problem was a corrupted .7z file from Adobe Download Assistant. I even downloaded the CS6 Master Collection .7z and the Web .7z directly with Chrome & IE 10. I don't know how they became corrupted in the first place with these many options.I managed to get it working from downloading the extracted files from another source. After that, every program worked, including Dreamweaver with no compatibility mode.
    For CS5, it is also the corruption of the .7z file. Again solved by getting a unextracted source to get it working on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. CS5 works perfectly on my system too.
    try in compatibility mode... even dreamweaver never opened directly in my windows consumer preview machine. after running compatibilty assistant and saving compatibility for xp-sp3 it worked perfectly
    Simply, no.
    Jeff, Adobe did well and I like the improvements the team made. I can tell you that the entire Adobe CS6 does work well with Windows 8 Consumer Preview (fully updated) smoothly.

  • Can I use Adobe premier in windows 7 32 bit

    Just bought CS6 master collection Windows Netherlands. Unfortunately Premiere is uninstallable because I have 32 bit.
    Is there another way to install an earlier version of Premiere?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I am not sure that I understand the question.
    Premiere Pro (part of Production Premium & Master Collection) has been a 64-bit program, ONLY, since CS 5.
    Earlier (CS 5 and 5.5), PrPro CS 4 (still 32-bit) WAS included in both the Production Premium & Master Collection, but I do not know if it was, in CS 6. That might well depend on the delivery method, i.e. download vs physical media.
    Now, does your question involve Adobe Premiere Elements, as that is a different program, but is the forum, to which you posted. If this is purely a PrPro question, then we can Move it to that program's forum.
    Just let us know please,

  • Using Adobe CS4 on Windows side of new Imac: It keeps crashing..Help!!!

    Hello,
    I just bought a new 2009 Imac G5, 24in screen, desktop version, 3.06 GHZ Processor, 4 GB ram, 1TB of Storage. I used Boot Camp to split the hard drive down the middle (500 GB for each side) and I installed Windows XP service pack 3.
    My company gave me the new version of Adobe CS4 for Windows (brand new) and after a successful install, the programs tend to crash often. Especially Flash. Photoshop crashed as soon as I opened it up and it was a small file I was working with. What the heck is going on here people???? It's all new stuff.
    Anyone have a similar issue??? It's annoying and frustrating and has prevented me from getting a lot of work accomplished, so any help or advice would be great.
    Please help!
    Thanks!
    Mike
    p.s
    On a separate note(this is not a question just a comment): some of the Adobe fonts that come standard with the CS4 did not install properly and were not recognized by my computer. This is because of the Imac's graphics processor. I called Adobe and they had to manually walk me through the process (in Windows)of getting the processor to read the fonts. It was crazy and actually, it was not their responsibility to do this...the woman was just being extra nice. FYI

    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Boot Camp or Adobe CS.
    You should post your question in both the Boot Camp forums or the Adobe forums:

  • Using Adobe CS6 Design Standard license on three computers?

    I bought Adobe CS6  Design Standard a few months back. I had  installed it on one mac and one Windows PC, both of which are my personal home computers. I am buying another MacBook. Can I install the same license number on the new Mac also, making it a total of three machines? I know Adobe allows you to use it on two computers at once. But is it Ok to have it on third one also?  I am sure I will never use more than two machines at  one time.

    You can install it on as many machines as you like, but it can ever only be activated on 2 of them. Of course you can deactivate and activate as needed occasionally, but in the long run this may get tedious...

  • How long i am allowed to use Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers edition ) ?

    I planned to buy Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) but i have a some confusions.
    1) If i bought the software with an adobe reseller ( a boxed product of adobe master collection CS6 - students and teachers edition ) and obtained a serial number with it, will i be able to use the software for more than one year or three years once it is activated ?

    There is no serial number in retail boxes of S&T, just a verification code and that needs to be properly registered to obtain a serial number - now. After that you can reinstall and reactivate the stuff until the day the Adobe servers fall apart or run out of electricity or Adobe changes their policies.
