Reinstalling Acrobat 4.0

I unistalled Acrobat 6.0, and I want to reinstall it. To do so, first I have to install 4.0, and then I have to upgrade to 6.0. I have both of my original disks. After I insert the 4.0 CD and click on "Install 4.0", nothing happens. Can anyone suggest what the problem is, and (more importantly) how to solve it?

If you try loading other disks do they work fine? If yes then there could be a possibility of the disk being faulty. Instead of installing Acrobat 4 try installing Acrobat 6 directly. When prompted enter the serial number for Acrobat 6 first and then if prompted enter the serial number for Acrobat 4.
Thanks

Problem with serial number reinstalling Acrobat

I purchased CS6 a few month ago, including Photoshop, Acrobat etc., which used to work fine. A few days ago, I had to reinstall Acrobat (starting with my CD Rom). Since then, Photoshop etc. work normally, but Acrobat keeps on asking me for my serial number, but does not take it when I give it (it says it is not valid for this product). What shoud I do?
P.

Which Suite did you purchase? In general Acrobat will be licensed by one of the other installed CS6 point products. If this license is not being applied then I would recommend the following steps:
Open Photoshop or another Adobe Creative point product
Go to Help>Deactivate
Close the application
Reopen the application and choose License this Software
Enter your Adobe ID and serial number
This should then reapply the license for your suite and allow Acrobat to run without requesting a serial number. This process should have already happened though so if you still face difficulty then you may want to try the same steps in a newly created administrator account.

Need to reinstall Acrobat 7.1 Pro on Panther

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 and meet all other system and hardware requirements for CS2.3 Premium, which I recently purchased and installed.
The instructions for CS 2.3 Premium installation said to skip Acrobat 7 Pro and install Acrobat 8 after the Suite install.
Word-for-word from the instructions:
4. Select the components you would like to install, except Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and click Continue ...
7. ...insert the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium Upgrade with Acrobat 8 Professional DVD.
8. Copy the Acrobat 8 Professional folder onto your hard disk ...
My set of 4 disks had no options for a custom install, so I proceeded to install everything and uninstalled 7 later, then installed 8 as instructed.
When I realized Acrobat 8 won't run on Panther, it was too late. In the Read Me file on the Acrobat 8 disk, it said I would need 10.4.3 or higher. Why wasn't this stated in the initial Suite install instructions?
There's some misleading info here. I opened a case with Adobe, and the case was "Withdrawn." Here's the response I got:
"A Technical Support specialist has reviewed your support request. We regret to inform you that complimentary support for Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 Is not available and/or has expired." (Form letter?)
But they kindly provided a link for service contract sign-up. I also received an email promoting new products...
I have already run an uninstall for Acrobat 8 and ferreted out and trashed all Acrobat 7 files using Adobe's instructions on this site.
Is there a way to reinstall Acrobat Professional 7 without moving the entire Suite to the trash as described in the Adobe Creative Suite "Read Me First" file?
When I put in the Suite install disk, I get this message after entering my admin. password:
"The application Adobe Installer has unexpectedly quit"
Could my disks be defective after only one use?
I also ran some maintenance and found out I have a corrupt user Pref:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.ami.installer.plis
(No "t" at the end on log report)
I've searched this site and haven't seen that anyone has had a similar problem. Does any of this sound familiar? Any words of wisdom?
If it helps ...
Current hardware/software:
G4 450 APG, with 1.75 GB memory.
Hard drive (new, Maxtor STM320080A) OS X 10.3.9 on the 1st partition (98.18 GB) OS 9.2.1 on the 2nd partition (29.92 GB)
Purchased & installed CS 2.3 shortly after replacing hard drive and installing Panther.

Thank you for your input. I realize now that the problem is bigger than that. I've done a lot of research since I wrote the initial post, and I think there are compatibility issues.
All my other CS2.3 applications erred out after uninstalling Acrobat 8 and the remnants of 7. After doing some research, I found that when installing from the Suite, some programs have shared files that can be deleted unintentionally after uninstalling individual apps.
I ended up deleting the entire CS2.3 Suite.
In the CS2 Read Me First file, that the recommended OSes for CS2.3 are Mac OS X v.10.2.8 through v.10.3.8 (10.3.4 through 10.3.8 recommended; G5 requires v.10.3 or later.) 10.3.9 is never mentioned. I was sure my OS was compatible when I purchased the Suite. Wrong, obviously!
The packaging on the Suite says 10.4.3 is required. The upgrade disk in the Suite for Acrobat 8 is the only app. that requires 10.4.3. If you follow the Suite installation instructions, it says NOT to install Acrobat 7. There is no word about system compatibility on the initial Suite instructions, and Read Me First files weren't updated with the Suite package (I'm sure the "Premium" marketing didn't included thatjust a repackaging of the original Suite with some add-ons.)
I have decided to reformat my hard drive and install OS 10.4.3.
There are also upgrades and patches available on Adobe's site that need to be made to ALL the CS2 applications. I have downloaded these and will save them outside of my machine so I can update as soon as I reinstall CS2 on the reformatted drive.
Many sites I've gone to show numerous problems with the CS2 Suite (CS3, too), many due to different issues than mine.
I still welcome any feedback about this and if there's anything I've overlooked, please comment.
I hope someone can learn from my mistake. This takes a lot of time and research, and I guess I didn't expect it to be this troublesome! And I am still researching ...

Reinstalling Acrobat 8 Pro from CS3 Design Premium, asking for Photoshop Elements 6 CD??

Hi.
I use a Macbook Pro with Leopard OS X version 10.5.8, 2.6 Ghz Intel Core Duo, $ GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I use Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium which came with Acrobat 8 Professional. Now, for a while I've been having issues updating Acrobat because it said it had been modified blah blah and something about plugins being disabled, so to rectify reinstall and run updates. I've seen alot of people on forums with this same issue.
For a long time I ignored this as the program was still working, but today it urked me enough to unistall (which I did by dragging it from the applications to trash) and try to reinstall.
So I tried. Put the CD in, selected only Acrobat 8 Pro for reinstallation, all went well until it asked me to put in the Photoshop Element 6 CD.... which I never had. Although the program does come on the CD. So i'm left confused, without acrobat pro and wishing i had never uninstalled!
I hope this makes some sort of sense. Any help would be much appreciated!

I resorted to using the live chat feature that Adobe have on the website. We found that once everything was uninstalled and then just reinstalled Acrobat alone, I wasn't asked to insert the Photoshop Elements 6 CD to continue and everything was fine. No problems. But, when I tried to then reinstall the rest of the suite, it asked for the CD.
So, the way to avoid it asking for the CD was to uninstall CS3 Design Premium completely and then reinstall all the programs. And everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe this was an obvious solution, but I didn't want to risk uninstalling all the programs only to be asked for a non-existent CD when reinstalling.
Anyway, hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

How to reinstall Acrobat X Pro? I purchased Acrobat X at a retail staore and Acrobat X Pro from the Adobe Website.

I just installed a Solid State Hard-drive on my computer and am now looking for a way to reinstall Acrobat X Pro that I purchased from the Adobe Website. I purchased Acrobat X from a retail store.
I dont need to install Acrobat X from the Disc before I install Acrobat X Pro I purchased from the website do I? And how do I install Acrobat X Pro anyway?

Hi Sonoma707,
There's no difference between the installer on the disk and that available online.
You can download Acrobat 10 Pro from : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
and use the purchased serial number to activate the software.

Invalid Serial number error given when reinstalling Acrobat 9 Standard. How can I reinstall?

I recently reinstalled Windows7 on my PC and am trying to reinstall Acrobat from the disk that came with my PC. I have the serial number from the Adobe product registration page. I am receiving the error "Invalid Serial Number". I checked for any remnant files in my PC and the registry, there are none. How can I get this install to run?

Just talked with Chat. I will post the transcript. What a waste of time.

Reinstalling acrobat 8 pro via ftp link from adobe??

Hi, I need some help in reinstalling acrobat8, I did the trial on acrobat 9. I had to unistall 8. The people at adobe sent me a FTP link to reinstall 8 as I have misplaced my 8 disk. I can't get the download to start from the link that was emailed to me, Acrobat_pro_8zip from ftp.cs.adobe.com Any suggestions. Thanks

Hi, hope you can help me with this. I have down loaded the zip file and extracted the files and tried to reinstall. I have talked with eleventeen different tec's at adobe and the only postive feedback I get is Thank You for calling Adobe and can I do anything else to assist you, I've never been an angry person till now. One of the Adobe tec's had me download a cleaner and create a new user account on my computer. In the new user account I clicked on the C drive and unziped the Acrobat Pro 8. Still not working and receiving error message "A serious error has been detected and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot continue. Please reinstall the application and try again." Adobe tells me that it should be working, but for a $39.00 charge they will get me up and running. I had no problems untill I uninstalled Acrobat 8 to try the free trial of Acrobat 9 and tried to reinstall Acrobate 8.

Reinstall Acrobat 9

I need to reinstall Acrobat 9 (I have the serial number from my original purchase) after a trial of XI Pro. Anyone have any luck with this? Adobe said they can't help and I just need to purchase the newest version.

What is the issue? Do you have the install CD? Have you tried the install and what happened, what error messages? What is your OS? If you did not uninstall, AA9, then just uninstall the trial, open AA9 and run Help>repair. This can also be done from the control panel.
If you do not have AA9 any more or the repair does not work, you should uninstall the trial (and AA9 if still left -- can be done from the control panel if needed), run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, delete any parts left of the Acrobat folder, reboot as the administrator, turn off anti-virus, and reinstall, then update.
So, what is the problem? Have you even tried the install?

Do I need to follow a procedure for reinstalling acrobat 7.0 professional?

I need to perform a system recovery on my laptop and I wonder if I am going to have any issues reinstalling acrobat 7.0 professional.

Or if you can deactivate before the recovery it might do the job. Sometimes a recovery is not needed, but you can reinstall the OS without recovery. To do that you will find instructions on the new, but if you follow the install button rather than recovery you should reach a screen that gives you a choice to reinstall or repair. The repair is more likely what you want. In that case, system files are replaced, but your system retains most other parts of your setup.
Here is a link with directions for XP (Note the page where it says to NOT use the restore). http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1.htm
Similar processes are available for Win 7. The steps that MicroSoft provides that suggest to use Restore to repair your machine are misleading. The repair you want is part of the install process (review the screen shots in the line). I have done this several times and it is a life saver for someone like me who has a lot of software that is not part of the original installation included in the system -- in fact most of the software I use regularly.

Hey jeroenb16613921,
Please specify exactly when you get this white popup screen. While opening a PDF or launching Acrobat by double-clicking on the Acrobat icon.
If it comes when opening a PDF, then where is this PDF actually stored?
Let me know more on the same so that I can analyze the issue.

I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

Reinstall Acrobat Pro 7 - can't install updates past 7.0.5

Upgraded to OS 10.5 (PPC Mac - last operating system) and had to reinstall Acrobat Pro 7 from CD as "components were missing". Adobe Updater worked through 7.0.5 Update, now refuses to add any further updates. Tried manual updating, but the 7.0.7 updater says "An invalid application was selected" when I try to select the copy of Acrobat Pro 7.0.5. The 7.1.3 "all" updater, as well as all those between 7/0/7 and it, tells me "The selected application version is outside the range that can be updated with this installer".
Suggestions?
Rick

When I was installing, I received a message saying,
"Error 1310. Error writing to file C:\Program Files (X86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\adistres.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Then it had a button for retry and when I hit it, it finished installing without any more errors. My UAC always asks me to allow programs to make changes to the computer and when I allow, it's always fine. I actually like this for added security. I've never had an issue with any other program.

Cannot Reinstall Acrobat Pro 7.0

I have CS2. I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 7.0. Now I cannot reinstall it from the original software. Install runs but does not install anything, nor does it show any error messages. I have XP SP3 and IE8. I have Reader 9.1.2 The other componens of CS2 work fine. Any help?

Adobe recommends that you do not have Acrobat and Acrobat Reader installed on the same system. The programs have files that each products installs in the same folders that can cause all kinds of problems such as yours. I strongly suggest you remove Acrobat Reader using the Windows Install Cleanup Utility. Then reinstall Acrobat Pro. You still will be able to view PDF files in your browser with Acrobat itself without Reader being installed.
Good luck.

Lost toolbar (Typewriter) when reinstall acrobat pro 7 (CS2) under Win 7

Hi There,
Recently, my computer has beed updated to Win 7 from Windows XP. When I reinstalled Acrobat pro 7 (CS2), toolbar "typewriter" did not show up.
Please help to find out the way to fix it. Thank you very much.

I don't have AA 7 available anymore. It may be that you have a selection of tools that can be made, I don't remember. Without finding a machine with AA 7 on it, I can't help much more on that. As far as the printer, you have to install a PS printer (either from Adobe or maybe a color HP PS printer). Then change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILES. Then, when you print you will be saving to file. The file created must be opened in Distiller to create the PDF. I have tried this on both 332 and 64-bit versions of Win7. There may be other features that vary and I did not do extensive testing. Maybe one of your systems is 32-bit and the other 64-bit and that might cause the problem. Keep in mind that AA 7 is a 32-bit process. You also need to install the updates that are at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/. Apparently you were successful with the installation, though the activation server is no longer available for AA7 -- there is an alternative in that case, but you don't seem to need it.
