  • What is the procedure to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from the CS4 Design Premium discs?

    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from my hard drive but I'm not sure which disc to use to reinstall.  The CS4 discs are marked "Application 1," "Application 2," "Content," and "Learning Adobe Creative Suite 4."  I'm on a three year old Imac running Mac OSX 10.6.8.

    Hi dlavin999,
    The disk 2 usually is meant for Acrobat 9.  You can insert the disc and check for yourself.

    Try running the EULA.exe file in the Acrobat File Directory

  • My PC won't install Acrobat Pro from the CD

    I bought Acrobat Pro 9 off the Internet, but my PC won't install it from the CD. I have the serial number. Can I download a copy from Adobe support even though I bought it elsewhere?

    Hi,
    Adobe.com currently offers the download of the latest version of Acrobat X Pro i.e. X (10). Hence, you will not be able to use the serial number once you download it from Adobe.com.
    Are you receiving any error message when you try to install the software from the disc?
    I would recommend contacting the merchant you bought the product from online in case the disc is not readable or damaged.
    Thanks

  • Does reinstalling OS X  Moutain Lion from the recovery disc erase anything else on the Macintosh HD?

    I am having trouble playing QT movies since I installed QT 7 Pro. I wanted to see if I could reinstall 10.8 from the recovery disc to gain back any missing codecs> I don't see any ionformation on downloading QT codecs for QT Pro 7. Any help?

    Replying to your post title
    When you restart into the Recovery HD and choose to Reinstall OS X, you're ONLY installing OS X on top of itself and NOT touching any 3rd party apps or data files. Of course, always do a back up prior to a reinstall for safety sake.

  • How to uninstall trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro from a mac?

    I installed a trial version Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Creative Cloud list on my Mac Pro 10.7.5. First, although I was supposed to have a 30 day free trial, it expired immediately. Worse, every time I try to open my former Adober Acrobat, I get prompted to buy a yearly subscription to Acrobat pro and cannot use my older version. I have tried various ways to uninstall the Acrobat Pro version and to get back to normal, with no success. Anyone out there to help or must I spend money on an international call to ask Adobe what to do? It seems that they have shut down their "chat" service. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Robert

    This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
    If that fails try the AE forum.

  • 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.

    Trying to reinstall Acrobat Pro X from disc onto win 8.1 system. (Previous installation got corrupted) Continually getting message ‘Acrobat has detected another process which has not yet completed…’. Have now closed system both cold (full shutdown) and warm (restart) over 10 times. Every time I go to reinstall I get message.

    I would run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and delete any Acrobat folders that have been created, then try again. Be sure to log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus when you have problems like this.

  • Reinstalling Acrobat Pro 9 on new computer without disc

    My organization is purchasing new computers next year. We have two old computers that currently have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on them. I do not have a disc or install download information as this installation occurred quite some time ago before I worked here. I'm wondering if it's possible to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro on the new computers when we get them, then update them to Acrobat XI Pro - or somehow wind up with Acrobat XI Pro on both new computers without having to purchase brand new copies (which I believe are significantly more expensive than just the update - we're a non-profit, so money is tight). If this is indeed possible, how would I go about doing it?
    Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi SGPL,
    You can download Acrobat 9 from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    And then use the serial number to activate it.
    But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

  • If I reinstall my FCE 3.5 from the original discs, will I be able to get the updates from Apple?

    System has begun crashing (dropping-windowshade, message to shut down computer) during attempted capture or render.  Hardware has been checked out and is OK.  Other OS functions seem to be working.  I have a bootable clone from the most recent period of good function, and also my original install disc for FCE. 
    If I need to try reinstalling FCE, are the updates still available from Apple?
    If I can't restore FCE 3.5, is there anything I can use with my OS 4.11 MBP that will be able to access my FCE 3.5 project files?  My 3+TB of underwater clips, stored on external drives as QT movies? 
    Any guidance appreciated.  This forum helped me out a lot when I first started - didn't expect the end to come so soon & hope there's a feasible workaround!
    Thanks,
    Sharron S.

    If I reinstall my FCE 3.5 from the original discs, will I be able to get the updates from Apple?
    Yes, via Software Update
    Here is an article on how to Uninstall FCE HD  You could also use  FCS Remover (note there are different versions depending on what version of OS X you have - be sure to select the correct version)
    If I can't restore FCE 3.5, is there anything I can use with my OS 4.11 MBP that will be able to access my FCE 3.5 project files?
    - FCE project files - only usable with FCE or FCP.  Not iMovie or FCP-X
    - All your clips, however, can be used with almost anything including iMovie, FCP, FCP-X, QuickTime, etc.

    AMelie Eliabeth the Adobe Download Assistant can be dragged to your trash can.  There is no separate uninstaller or any other application files to remove.

  • Cannot install Acrobat Pro from Cs4Web Premium. Mac osx lion

    I have had a problem for a while that although the updater keeps announcing an update and allows its download it will not update saying that Acrobat Pro needs re installing.
    I have tried to reinstall several times but each time the install hangs on "Preparing to install".
    Today I bit the bullet and uninstalled Acrobat Pro to try and resolve the problem and I still, after numerous attempts, get the installation hanging up at "Preparing to install".
    I have repaired disk permissions and no change.
    The disk image I am using, fully paid CS4 Web Premium, was downloaded today.
    I need Acrobat Pro to function on a daily basis and any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thank you for your time
    Will

    I am having the same problem as Willwinch, and it is increasingly upsetting me.  My Acrobat Pro 9 was running perfectly fine until a HD failure.  I installed and restored my files from a time machine backup and right away received a "Suite Product Activation Needed" error message.  After chatting with Adobe customer support, I was advised to ininstall and reinstall Acrobat Pro.  Fine, did that only to get an error that said "Licensing for this product has stopped working.".  More customer support chatting indicated that the activation process for Acrobat Pro 9 is not supported with Lion.  That is worth repeating, the ACTIVATION process is not supported.  They said nothing about the actual software as much as I tried to get the "support" to clarify.
    To make things more frustrating, my only option to get Acrobat Pro would be to upgrade to version X... Which I do not care to do. I paid $2600 for the Master Collection 16 months ago and I was hoping I could have functioning software a little longer than that.  To make things EVEN MORE frustrating, because I bought the suite, I can only upgrade to the CS6 suite.  Not only do I not care for Acrobat Pro X, I don't care for the entire suite at the moment.  I am comfortable with CS5. 
    There has got to be some license file I can access and copy over or some other method of activation that will allow me to use my legitimte paid-for software that obviously works.  I teach at a university and for years I have been a strong advocate of not pirating software to my students for a bunch of reasons.  One of those reasons was "You will be glad you did when you need support".  It is sad that is not true.   I am not about to start pirating Adobe software, but I sure am going to be less likely to advocate against it from now on.
    EDIT: This gets awesomer.  I finally called a sales rep and he said I could upgrade to just Acrobat Pro X rather than having to upgrade the entire suite... which is sort of a consolation prize since I was hoping to get Acrobat Pro 9 working as it was.  However, there was a little emailing and account snafu which resulted in Adobe charging my card twice AND me getting locked out of my Adobe account.  Now I get to wait 5 to seven days for $199 of the $398 I was charged today to be refunded.  It is amazing how easy money flows into Adobe and how difficult "service" and "product" are to get out.  The sales rep was at least friendly and not condesending as the tech help was earlier.

  • 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.
