Right-click initiates Acrobat 8.0 Pro Installer

Problem occurs:
A.) Whenever I load Windows
B.) Whenever I right-click a file
C.) Whenever I right-click on the desktop
What happens:
Adobe Acrobat 8.0 installer starts, apparently installing the program (despite the fact that I already installed it as part of the CS3 Design Premium).
Troubleshooting history:
Ive tried re-installing Acrobat with no success. Ive tried removing the entire CS3 Design Premium and re-installing, with no success. I've manually deleted all previous Acrobat installations. I've wasted hours troubleshooting this "bug," not to mention its created a severe retardation of my operating system.

Can you post the solution or a link to the solution in this discussion? I have not been able to fine it. Thanks!

  • Combine PDF feature missing from right click option Acrobat Pro 9/Windows 7

    I combine PDF's all day long and need this feature. I had it on my old computer and since moving over to the new computer I do not have the option to combine PDF's when right clicking on PDF documents. I have searched the forum and found other fixes, however none have worked, I have uninstalled and re-installed three times as well and no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas for fixes for this. I need this feature.....

    Found this it worked for me :
    http://acrobatusers.com/forum/pdf-creation/right-click-option-combine-supported-files-miss ing a known issue caused by the context menu handler not being registered (tends to result from patches and installs when Windows UAC is active).
    It's
    From the Start menu, choose 'All Programs' > 'Accessories, and *right-click* on 'Command Prompt'Select 'Run as Administrator' and approve the UAC window (if one is displayed)
    If you have 64-bit Windows, in the command window type the following and press Enter, including the quotes:
    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
    On 32-bit Windows, type this instead:
    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu.dll"
    You should see a message saying it was successful. Close the command prompt window, and your context menus should be back up and running. .

  • Lost right click meny Acrobat X Win7 64 latest update!

    Running Acrobat X Pro with Windows 7 64bit. Installed correctly and included Windows 7 right click menu to convert files, etc. Notified that a security update available, so I installed it and restarted system. After restart, Acrobat functions no longer listed in Windows 7 right click menu. Right click on a file and "convert to pdf" or "combine PDF's" no longer listed. Repair installation function did not restore right click menu, only complete uninstall/reinstall of original version. If updated again, right click menu dissapears.

    Thank you for the instructions, which worked perfectly! The
    right click menu has been restored

  • Acrobat 7.0 Pro installation on W8.1

    I own a new PC with W8.1 after deciding to renew my old and good-working PC with XP.
    I tried to install my Acrobat 7.0 Pro from the original CD. During installation I've been prompted about PDF Printer is not installed. Later I discovered that it is not yet possible to activate the product (and this means only 30 days of functionality)
    Browsing the Adobe website, I found the possibility to Download an English version (without activation) –as Spanish is not available, I installed it but this version is not running (I’m unable to open it) under W8.1. I also been prompted about the PDF Printer.
    Anybody knows what I have to do to recover at least the PDF printer? I also use the Acrobat as scanner manager, so any help on this topic will be also appreciated.

    uniinstall, clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then reinstall acrobat 7 from, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 using the posted serial number.
    when you install, use compatibility mode for xp xp3.

  • Acrobat 9.0 Pro Installation

    Does anyone know if the Acrobat 8.0 installation wizard will work w/ v9.0? Will they be releasing an installation wizard for v9.0? Has anyone been able to push out the install w/o using SMS? How did you push it out over the network to users w/ restricted permissions?

    No, it won't work. You have to wait until the new version for Acrobat 9.0 is released. Who knows? Adobe hasn't announced that yet have they? Sorry haven't done the rest yet.

  • Right Click Convert - Application Error - Adobe Pro 9

    Hi all
    I got following error when I try to convert a office document to pdf via the context menu:
    "Acrobat Elements.exe - Application Error"
    The instruction at "0x616321dd" referenced memory at "0x00000001". The memory could not be "read".
    This happens with Adobe Pro 9, and all Adobe Pro 9 patches.
    Testet on ~ 15 different machines, freshly installed machines etc. Before that we had Adobe Pro 7 and there it worked without a problem, the problem just happens when we install Adobe Pro 9.
    Does anyone have a solution for this or a hint?
    Cheers

    Hi kernwh,
    I checked for the same but it only asks once for the file name.
    Please upgrade Acrobat X to 10.1.12 and then check.

  • The right click menu pops up after I push the right mouse button, instead of when I release it.

    I am using an extension All-In-One Gestures. It works on my other installation of Firefox 4 - particularly, the right-click menu pops up if I click right mouse button and then release it so I can perform gesture or turn the wheel instead of getting a right click menu.
    But on this installation (basically the same addons and OS), the right-click menu pops up on pushing down the right mouse button so the right-button+wheel gestures do not work, and the menu stays there while I am performing the gesture which is rather annoying.
    So I though maybe there is some obscure configuration option to toggle to make right-click menu pop up after the button release? Or is this entirely the extension's fault? Note that it does work as expected on other installation...

    You have to enable in Firefox
    -> Options -> Content -> Activate JavaScript (yes) -> More
    -> Allow scripts the following actions
    -> Inactivate or replace context menu (yes)
    in order to allow All-in-one-Gesture to block the immediate appearance of the context menu.
    If you forbid Firefox JavaScript and/or the manipulation of the context menu by use of JavaScript, All-in-one-Gesture cannot work properly.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 pro's windows installer appearing after right click on any file or application

    I accidentally deleted the acrobat 9.0 manually from the program files. The acrobat doesn't work... There is also a nuisance. The windows installer for the Adobe acrobat keep on appearing when i right click a file or application. I have to cancel it. If i wait for it to load, it will say that the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click Ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installer package "AcroPro.msi" in the box below. if i click ok, it will show an error- the path"..." cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installer package "AcroPro.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product Adobe Acrobat 9 pro ... It will also cause the computer to be very lag. I am seeking assistance. Please help.

    This happens when I right click on ANYTHING at all, I can even just right-click on the desktop and that install window comes on!
    The program itself opens fine separately. I 'll be honest, I haven't used it much as I am just learning all the programs, so if it is actually working correctly I don't know. I do know that I tried to used the "covert to pdf" button while on Internet Explorer and it would not work. Don't know if the problem is related or not...
    I have that idiotic UAC off - it drove me crazy...

  • Acrobat 11 Pro - problem with right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" output folder

    I'm migrating from one machine running Windows XP Pro with Acrobat 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro with Acrobat 11 Pro.
    On the XP machine, when I right-click on a document and select "convert to Adobe PDF" the process works just fine - it always outputs the file to the target destination I have set in the Adobe PDF printer definition.
    On the Windows 7 Pro/Acrobat 11 Pro machine, the exact same settings are ignored: the PDF will always end up in the same folder as the source file.
    Both the source folder and the destination folder are on one of my office's networked drives.
    Under the Printing Preferences, I have the output folder address set the same on both machines, so it *should* go to the right location on the new machine.
    Oddly enough, on the Acrobat 11 Pro machine, if I select Adobe PDF as the default printer and do a test print, it *does* print to the correct folder!
    This has got me stumped!
    Thoughts?
    (update from later in the day)
    If Adobe PDF is selected as the default printer, I *can* select a bunch of documents, right-click, select "print", and Word will open up, and they'll print to the correct target folder.
    So, it's "just" the right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" that doesn't work correctly.

    The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Creating PDF from explorer (Right-Click) problem

    Hello,
    I am new here. I've searched the forums here and maybe I've missed finding the solution.  We recently updated from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro, and I can no longer get a PDF to be created in the same folder the Word, Excel or other file is located.
    In otherwords, when I use (under Windows Explorer) the right-click option and Convert to Adobe PDF, Acrobat 9 Pro keeps asking me where to save this file!  Under Acrobat 6 Pro, it would just create the file under the same folder unless I specified otherwise.
    I have tried to look under the Word 2003 Adobe PDF "Change Conversion Settings" and I do not have the box next to Prompt for Adobe PDF file name checked.
    Am I missing something? I would have assumed this simple process would have carried over from Acrobat 6 Pro. I really do not want to go through a bunch of processes just to save the PDF in the same folder. Under Acrobat 6 Pro, this was a simple task. I am not doing anything major, just converting various Word (.doc) files to PDF.
    Thanks.

    Using Windows 7, Acrobat 10.0.1, basically the same problem.
    Explorer > Right-Click > Convert to Adobe PDF
    brings up the Save As dialog and if you'll notice the path in the address bar at the top, it defaults to the last folder in which you created a PDF.
    In the Save As dialog, browse to the folder in which you want to save the PDF then click the Save button. This folder will stay in effect until you change it by browsing to a different one in the Save As dialog.
    Using Acrobat X, I tried everything I could think of to get a fast, efficient way of converting multiple files to PDF (with the same name and in the same folder as the source files) and, unfortunately, the method described above seems to be the fastest. I tried drag and drop to an Adobe PDF printer shortcut and that didn't work at all--it did nothing! In Acrobat X, File > Create > Batch Create Multiple Files will present a dialog with options for saving to the same folder and keeping the same name as the source file, although it seems like the files process slower in addition to having to click 8 times (not counting selecting the files) before the process begins.
    I fervently hope that Adobe will change Explorer > Right-Click > Convert to Adobe PDF back to automatically saving to the same folder as the source document.

  • Right-Click Context Menu's Acrobat X Pro Missing

    Hello.  I have a user of Acrobat X Pro on Windows XP 32-bit system.  When they right-click, the context menu's are not there.  These menu's exist in my other 2 users Acrobat 9 right-click menu's.  Please help me to resolve getting the menu items to show up.  I have tried running regsvr to reload the ContextMenu.dll file and it succeeded but still nothing when right clicking.

    Via Hit and Miss, I discovered that the "blanks" in my right click context menu are actually the command buttons, just missing the text.  I tried everything, including the contextmenu.dll approaches but nothing worked.  I then highlighted a few PDF's, hit the blank bar in the context menu, and voila - Acrobat opened and put me into the "combine files" window.    Even right-clicking on a single JPG and then hitting the blank bar opens up the "add files into a PDF" window.
    Not a perfect fix but at least it gives me what I want!!

  • Acrobat Pro 7: right click option to Open in a New Window

    Hello,
    We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v7, and we oftentimes like to view PDFs in separate windows.  To do this, the first file can be openeb by double clicking thefile in Explorer, and for subsequent files, we just right click on the PDF and select Open in a New Window.  This works perfectly fine; however, not everyone has the right click option to Open in a New Window.  The DO have the same version of Acrobat, but just not this functionality.  How do we go about getting this right click context added for the others?  Thanks.

    Yes.  Everyone is on Windows XP SP2.
