Reactive Acrobat 8.3.1

I had to reinstall Windows 8.1 after a Microsoft update misfire.  Now I can't print with Acrobat 8 because I need to activate it.  The activate option on the Help menu is not available.  How to?

AA 8 (actually AA 8.3.1) works great on Win 8.1.  I've been using it for over a year on a newbuild in my study.  No issues whatsoever, and very fast.  I had to reinstall Win 8.1 last week after an MS security update hung and left me with corrupt Win updater files.  There was simply no other reasonable option.  I've repaired AA 8.3.1 and danced around with it, but to no avail.  It simply won't print to pdf.  I should probably just reinstall it, but the manual update process required to get back to 8.3.1 from raw 8.0 is simply offputting.  Maybe that should be my real question: I don't mind reinstalling 8.0 from scratch from the CD, but do I seriously have to manually install the roughly 20 updates to get back to 8.3.1 with all of the restarts and so forth?  There must be a faster way to accomplish this that would spare me the multiple update lobotomies.  Do you have any suggestions on that front?

  • After deactivating flash  pro after acrobat stopped working in CS6, all programs converted to Trial Versions. How do I reactivate? Is the only solution to delete all programs and download CS6?

    Reactivating acrobat in CS6

    When you deactivate one program of a Suite the entire Suite is deactivated.  You should be able to reactivate by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Activate.  If that does not work then you probably need to uninstall the Suite and reinstall it.

  • My computer died so I'm needing to know how I go about deactivating and reactivating my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

    So I have the original disc's but I'm thinking I need something more because I was not able to deactivate the program when my computer crashed.  I reloaded Windows from scratch and lost my files.

    Hi thewmejr,
    Please see Activation & deactivation help-- If you need to deactivate Acrobat, but no longer have access to the computer that it was activated on, you'll need to Contact Customer Care for assistance.

  • Can I make PDF from xlsx file with Acrobat 8.0 professional?

    I'm using Windows 7 Professional (32-bit OS) with Microsoft Office 2007 Basic and have Acrobat 8.0 Professional. Newly installed on replacement computer (deactivated and reactivated license). Don't see PDF icon in any Microsoft Office software. Got great help in getting 8.0 added as a printer devise at SevenForums.com. But when I try to print (since I don't see the PDFMaker icon I'm going via PRINT), it gives me an "Error Printing" message. That got me to thinking and wondering if I can create a PDF using 8.0 Pro to convert these new style MSO file tags (xlsx, docx, and such)? When I tried to UPDATE, message said "There are no updates available at this time." I really don't want to update Pro to the 8.3 anyway mainly because when I had previously updated to 8.3, stuff just got a bit whacky. Any suggestions? Thanks for feedback.

    Thank you Dave and Bill for feedback. I know that I'm using older technology with newer technology but for now that's what I've got to work with. I knew Acrobat would eventually stop supported AA8, so I've saved various update patches throughout the years. My earliest is AcrobatUpd814_all_incr.msp. Wondering if I can get earlier upgrade patch because am getting the below error message. Also, via periodic backup's I've noticed that I do have a lot of *.rtp (A_AcroForm_api_811.rtp and M_ACROBATPROFESSIONAL_8_0_HOMEPAGE_html4_810.rtp). Can I use this some how if I cannot find the earlier upgrade patches? Thanks, I know long shots.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install.  How to force it to see new scanner install.

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install.  How to force it to see new scanner install?  Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows.  Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3.  I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager.  (Windows XP SP3).
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
    Background.  When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware.  If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device.  In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred.  In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner.  The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on.  Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed.  Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
    Steps performed to try to resolve.
    Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
    Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
    Complete removal of all scanner related software.  This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software.  This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
    Rebooted.
    Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected.  Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware.  Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8.0 won't open any more.

    I have a registered version of Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Pro (with the Creative Suite) running on a computer with Windows 7. Until today it worked fine and since checking for updates it will no longer work - the program won't even open. The other programs all work fine. I also noticed that 8.0 is not eligible for an upgrade. How can I get Acrobat opening and running again? I've tried everything that I've seen on here including deactivating other programs and reactivating and running the repair.

    Hi miss_patrish,
    We do not recommend to use to Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. I would suggest you should upgrade to latest version of Acrobat.
    Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the Acrobat 8.0?
    Regards,

  • Adobe Acrobat 10.1.4 Crash.

    Hi,
    I'm having an odd issue with computers that I deployed Adobe CS5.5 to recently using AAMEE 2.1, OSX 10.7.4.  I just recently pushed out the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.4 update using Munki..  On a large percentage of our computers where CS5.5 was deployed using an AAMEE 2.1 built package, Acrobat will open, then crash within about 15 seconds in, with no error message.  Then the red Adobe Application Manager/PDApp icon bounces in the dock for three seconds, then closes.  After sorting this all out, here is a PDApp log capture of what is going on when Acrobat crashes:

    [INFO] PDApp - Quiting Application
    I've opened other CS5.5 apps and they all seem to be okay, except for Acrobat.  Is there anything I can do to fix this without a total uninstall and re-install?  I'm not seeing this error in two labs where the CS5.5 package I deployed was built using a JAMF Composer Snapshot, rather than AAMEE 2.1
    Thanks,

    I have now come across the same symptoms after deploying the Adobe Acrobat X Pro v10.1.6 security update. The target systems experiencing problems generally have Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium installed.
    I have tried replacing/upgrading the Adobe Application Manager v7, reactivating CS5.5 via the command line tool, and upgrading Adobe Photoshop to v12.1.1.
    So far, Acrobat X Pro v10.1.6 continues to launch and quit, AAM launches and quits, and the same log messages noted above are written. Has anyone found a working solution to get around this?

  • Acrobat Pro X (10.1.9.22) crashes after a few minutes of use - I've tried everything I can think of!

    Acrobat Pro X, that came with CS6 Design Standard (all other programs working fine) crashes after a few minutes of use. It crashes whether there is a document open or not.
    I notice it most when I come back to the PDF after switching from another program; eg) Open PDF and browse for atleast 1 minute, find the info I need on the PDF, update InDesign document, switch back to PDF, "(Not Responding)", try to close document, "Adobe Acrobat is Not Responding". And this happens every single time - no matter what document I open or whether I even have a document open at all.
    I've searched the forums and as much of the Internet I can think of, and I've tried (but with no luck);
    - Updating both Windows 7 and Acrobat Pro
    - Deactivating and the reactivating the software
    - Deleting the cache and then deactivating - (I thought this had worked for a few minutes after I'd done this, but no)
    - Acrofix
    - Complete re-install without performing updates - still crashed
    - Complete resinstall after using Acrobat Cleaner tool
    - Turning off 3D functions in Acrobat
    - Turning off Enhanced security and license features in Acrobat
    - Turning off Windows Firewall
    - Turning off Internet Security (ESET)
    - Removing all non-standard Fonts
    I can't think of anything else to try so I thought I'd ask here. Please help!

    Hi Rave, thanks for your reply.
    How do I go about posting the crash dump here?
    And to answer your questions; I just installed Reader 11 and its working fine. As for Acrobat 11, I must've used a trial last year before we got CS6 because it is asking me to license it, so I cant test that unfortunately.

  • Acrobat X Pro launch problem

    I'm having the same problem I've seen others write about with CS6 and Acrobat X Pro not launching every now and then. I've tried the solution of deactivating in another CS6 application and reactivating, but it hasn't worked in the past.
    I'm running Windows 7 Professional. In Programs and Features, I have the following applications listed:
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro - English, Français, Deutsch
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard
    Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard
    Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard
    Each time I have the problem, I uninstall the first one that I listed above. I also click on the last (CS6) and uninstall only Acrobat X. Then I restart the system and reinstall CS6 Acrobat only.
    I presume I still have CS4 and CS5 listed because I upgraded from one to the next. I don't use the old versions anymore. Should I remove any of these permanently? Would that help solve the problem? Even though I uninstall the first one, it always comes back when I install Acrobat through the CS6 setup file.
    Thanks for any suggestions! This uninstall and reinstall is getting very annoying. I used to think it happened only once a month, which was bad enough, because it always interrupts my work flow to not be able to open a PDF file as usual. But then, after reinstalling this past weekend, Adobe updated Acrobat on my system last night, and this morning the problem occurred again, only a couple of days since the previous time. That's even more frustrating!

    I'm sorry I wasn't able to try your suggestion till today. I performed the first step: I downloaded the file Acrofix.zip, extracted the file and executed it. Everything appeared to work correctly. I wasn't having the problem today, so will I have to wait to apply the fix till Acrobat doesn't start again, or will running the fix today fix it for good?

  • Acrobat Pro Ext 9 always crashes, error 147:6 (I'm traveling & need help!)

    I installed (from CDROM) and activated Acrobat Pro 9 Extended a week or so ago on my laptop, Windows XP Pro. I used it several times without any problem. I left my home yesterday on a one month trip, mostly out of the US but in the US until tomorrow. So now it crashes.
    I tried to Print to PDF yesterday from another program. Acrobat started to open then crashed. If I open it by itself, as soon as I try to do anything, even just Help/About Acrobat, it crashes with a message:
    'You cannot use ... Repair by uninstalling or reinstalling .... 147:6 "
    Even if I just open it and wait, within a little while it will crash. I've attached a screen copy of the exact image.
    I don't travel with original cdroms, so I cannot simply uninstall and reinstall. Is there anything I can do or am I SOL?
    Thanks.

    I hope you get all your money back promptly! How frustrating.
    If the seller was selling the software as new, that was probably just a scam or his source was unreliable.
    For purchasing used software, it's possible the seller did not realize that the Acrobat had to be deactivated first. You could request verification of the deactivation prior to purchasing used software. That would at least allow you to make sure the seller understands that deactivation is necessary. The license is good for two computers and if it is installed on two computers, each installation would need deactivation, otherwise the buyer would be sharing a license and breaking the license agreement.
    As for why the program ran for a bit, maybe there was temporarily one activation available for that serial number. The error message makes sense because a missing or corrupted serial number file would be replaced during reinstallation and reactivation.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I am unable to open my Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Version 10.1.3. Either as a program, or to open a specific file.
    Appears listed in my software programs correctly.
    Does not matter if I try to open from desktop, program shortcut list or program list, as administrator or user.
    I have had the product as part of Creative Suite 6 since mid-May and it has worked until around 10 days ago?
    The only other hint I can offer is in iHelp, all listed product names have a red Adobe icon beside them, except "Using Acrobat X Pro" which has a similar looking green icon. It claims to be Current and has a download date (of today, as I tried to Delete and Update).
    Thoughts please?

    Thank you Mylenium.
    I went through this process, to no avail in the end. But an error message from this process did lead me to another thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1029593.
    Deactivating and Reactivating has done the trick.
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat 7.0 Missing PdfMaker files and won't pdf files

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 7.0 standard edition and I'm running it on Windows XP with MS Office 2003.
    The icons to automatically create PDF from MS Word does not appear and when I look for them on the toolbars menu they are not there.
    So I open Acrobat and click create pdf, but midway it tells me that it is missing some pdfmaker files and do I want to run it on repair mode.
    I click yes, but that does not solve the issue.
    I have tried uninstalling and removing the whole program and that did not help.
    I even removed all the activation information and reinstalled it and reactivated it and no luck.
    I have also downloaded the latest update from adobe and still no luck.
    Please help if you can

    I have had this problem with nearly every version of Adobe Acrobat up to and including 9.0
    Here are four things I do to resolve this issue in order of time/difficulty:
    First, I made sure that the Adobe Acrobat plug-in wasn't disabled.
    In any Microsoft Product such was Word, Excel, etc.  go to Help>About Microsoft (Word/project, etc) and then click on the 'disabled items' button.
    If the plug-in is disabled, select it and enable it again.
    Second,  I make sure the PDFMaker files are registered.
    I open a command prompt and navigate to the PDFMaker plug-in dll files in Adobe.
    In Adobe Acrobat 8.0  the file path is:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\PDFMaker\Office
    I then type in:
    regsvr32 PDFMOffceAddin.dll
    That should enable the Office PDFMaker plug-ins.
    Third, I make sure that the AcroDist.exe application path was configured properly in the registry.
    If it isn't, I just create it.
    Registry path:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
    Look for the entry "AcroDist.exe"
    If not there, create it - it is a 'Key". (right click on App Paths and choose New>Key)
    In the AcroDist.exe  key the (Default) value should be:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe  
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
    depending on which version of Adobe Acrobat you have.  Essentially you put the absolute path for the AcroDist.exe file in there.
    The only other entry in the AcroDist.exe key should be the String Value Path.  If it isn't there, create it  (right click and choose New>String Value)
    The name of the String Value should be Path and the value should be the path of the AcroDist executable.   e.g.:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\
    Close out the registry and try to use the PDFMaker again
    If that still doesn't work then I run a repair on Adobe.  If THAT doesn't work then I completely uninstall/reinstall.

  • Acrobat Pro X crashes on opening doc

    When I open any pdf the doc opens then crashes. The app then opens and says accept licensing terms. It then opens the doc again and crashes. Then the license window opens again.
    I'm on a Mac using 10.9.1
    This is happening on both my computers. I tried to reintall the app but it wants to update what I have and it won't find the correct version to update probably because I am using 10.8 Acrobat and it doesn't have anything to update. I tried the 11 version but I don't own that version so it wouldn't update that either.
    I deactivated the main license for CS6 and reactived with my serial number. That didn't help either.

    That's the problem right there then. Acrobat DC is definitely not supported by that version.
