Rundir Acrobat 8 Professional - Macintosh

when I try to run the file RunDirEx.txt with Distiller 8 I get the following error message in a log-file: %%[ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file produced. ] %%.
The path in the rundir-file is correctly defined.
Using Acrobat 7 the PostScript-Files will be combined correctly without error message.
Could anybody help me?

  • Reinstall Acrobat 8 Professional, Macintosh

    Acrobat 8 Professional, Macintosh
    I have my license and I need to reintall due to a hard drive failaure. (I am reinstalling all my software.)
    I can not find a link to download.
    Thanks

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Submit button issue in Acrobat 8 Professional/LifeCycle Designer

    I am using Acrobat 8 Professional and LifeCycle Designer 8.0 on a PC with XP Pro. I first made forms using the default email submit button and had an XML data file submitted.
    I'm now making the forms to submit as a pdf file rather than an XML file. I selected a regular button rather than the email submit button provided and made it a submit button to be submitted as a pdf.
    The forms are being sent as pdf files attached to emails using Outlook. The issue is that every computer has a different "reaction" to this submit button. My computer (PC), when I tested the forms,everything was fine - Outlook opened and I was able to submit the file. On another PC in my office, when she clicked the submit button, nothing happened at all. On a PC at home, I got an error message "this operation is not permitted." And someone on a Macintosh did not even get a submit button showing up on the pdf.
    We need to be able to send these files out so that everyone can complete them easily. I would appreciate any ideas on how to make the submit button so that it works on all platforms and computers.
    Thank you so much,
    Marcy

    Thank you to you both for your suggestions.
    Actually, Bill, this will not be a controlled environment at all. We want to be able to email forms to all of the 80 parents in the school, and have the parents complete them as pdf's and submit the information back to us as a complete pdf form. This opens up the potential for 80 different computers/ISPs/environments. And of course, my supervisor wants it seamless and easy with no glitches for all 80!! So as you can see, I have my challenge with this project.

  • Acrobat 8 Professional disappeared

    In late September 2006 (I think), I purchased and downloaded Acrobat 8 Professional for Macintosh. A couple of months ago, it would not update, and altho I don't recall exactly what the pop-up said as a reason, I seem to recall that it said I needed to re-install Acrobat. When I got the message, I didn't have time to fool around with it. Now, the program no longer appears to exist on my hard drive. Although the "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional" folder still exists and contains some files (i.e., three read me files, Acrobat Uninstaller, and Acrobat Distiller) there is no Acrobat 8 Professional application.
    Any idea what happened and how to re-install?
    Many thanks,
    Rick

    Sorry but there's not much us fellow c=users can do in this case. You will have to call Adobe customer support.
    Two possible issues will be:
    1. they don't support downloads of versions that far back.
    2. They won't have any record of your purchase and will deny support.
    If I had to guess (and going by other people that have came in here), I would say their only suggestion would be to purchase the new version of Acrobat...at full prive (not upgrade price).
    This is one of those times I hope I'm wrong.

  • Activating Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on new computer when old computer died and cannot deactivate

    My computer died with acrobat professional 8 installed. When I tried to install and activate acrobat 8 professional on my new computer, it would not activate until I deactivated the software on my old computer. My old computer is completely dead and therefore I cannot deactivate the software. Please advise me.
    Leo

    Customer service is terrible. They don't give us the tools to help ourselves, so we are FORCED to call their service number. Then we get transferred 3 times, then disconnected - just to have to repeat the process again. Adobe recorded phone messages advises "due to high call volume, estimated wait time is 12 minutes". An HOUR AND A HALF later while still waiting on hold, I get disconnected.
    I've tried the customer portal. They CLOSED my case without resloving anything or even commenting!
    Where is Adobe's accountability?  They don't mind charging high prices for their products, and they certainly wouldn't accept me telling them they'll have to call my 800# and wait on hold in order to get their payment. But once we purchase their products we are a prisoner of this process. There is no web interface to deactivate products. Hard drive crashes do not permit the manual deactivation on our end.
    Adobe needs to either answer their phone without disconnecting me, answer their case number number without closing it for no reason, or give us - the customer - the tools to deactivate our own products. If activation can be done over the internet upon installation - then deactivation can't be much more difficult.
    I honestly can't imagine how it can be legal to sell a product then cripple an owner from using it.

  • Acrobat 9 Professional: changing the default save setting as version 5 and later

    The situation:  We are using Acrobat 9 Professional.  We have PDF files with version that was save as 5.0 or later.  (We need to save it as 5.0 because it allows our PDF publications to be shown on mobile devices that don't support newer versions). 
    The problem: 
    Sometimes we need to go back to our PDF to change the front cover.  However after clicking on save, Acrobat 9 reverts it to the latest version making our publications unreadable for mobile devices.
    Options we have considered: 
    Using the save as optimized feature.  This is not convenient since the file is about 2000 pages and using that feature will require it to rastersize and flattend the image on every page.  It takes too long. 
    I am currently, planning to go back to Acrobat 8 Professional, but user would like to keep both version.
    The question:  Is there another way to set Acrobat 9 to save PDF as the original version it was created (that at least doesn't take that much time)?
    Thank you in advance!

    I mark this as an assumed answer by mistake.  Still looking for an answer.  I do not wish to install two versions of Acrobat.  (This will be my last resort, if I don't have any other options)  I try it also with Acrobat X professional and it seems that it automatically saves it to a newer version.  So any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  • How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

  • How to move Acrobat 7 Professional from old Win XP machine to new Win 7 machine?

    I've been using Acrobat 7 Professional for some years on my old Windows XP computer and recently bought a new Dell WIndows 7 64-bit computer.  Although I no longer have my original installation disk, I did copy all the installation files to my old machine (and copied them to the new one).  When I tried to install the program on my new computer I get the error message "Serial Number Invalid."  The number I used was the 20-digit number that appears when I click "About Acrobat 7.0 Professional" on the old machine's program.  Why won't it work?  What am I doing wrong?  BTW, Acrobat 7 has worked fine for me up until now.

    do not copy/migrate/etc adobe programs.
    properly install them using the adobe installation files.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional w/ Windows 8.1

    Previously I had Windows Vista Home Basic and everything ran smoothly with Acrobat.  One thing that I loved was if I ran out of ink or could not print for some other reason, I had Adobe in the list of printers.  Well Adobe is not showing up in the list of printers nor can I get it to show up there by trying several different things.  My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and my Windows system is now Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (though I’m starting to regret this).    I’m seeing that 64 Bit is the problem but really? Is there no fix for this other than spending hundreds of dollars yet again?  I’m beginning to think the computer and software is only for the very-very rich!  Who can afford this stuff with its updates every year!  They really know how to make a buck but what about the people who cannot afford to keep paying for these things?  I know I could switch back but I did a clean install and in order to switch back, I’d have to find the Vista cd again (which I tried) or end up buying that again!  Ugghh  All I want is for the Adobe Acrobat to be available as a printer, the program itself works, just not what I guess Adobe is labeling as the “extras.”  I have tried the below…but none of anything I have tried for the last three days has worked – not even talking to Adobe because they gave me the links to this forum and the online support – because their chat is for the rich who can purchase XI at 400-900 dollars!  Please if anyone knows a solution to this that might help me?

    Did the “Customization Wizard” but the other file (Transformer Tool) would not load install – received message “Acrobat Transforms Update did not find any valid installed Acrobat products or you do not have sufficient privileges to update registry.”  Grrrrr
    Installed PDFFilter64Setup.msi  --- seemed to accept it but I’m not sure it changed a thing!

    Keep in mind that AA8 is just about prior 64-bit and has not been updated to maintain currency with the newer OS and platforms. As a minimum, you need to do the updates to AA8. The updates are important for 64-bit systems. You may or may not get it to work. If it looks like it, please report what parts work and what parts fail. The links try to address the issues, but we need to know what works after you do the updates. Does Acrobat open (your note suggests it does) and appear to work? Does Distiller open and is it able to convert a PS file to a PDF (it can only operate on EPS and PS files)? Is there an Adobe PDF printer present? Can you print to the printer with print-to-file selected? Is AcroTray running in the background.
    With a new system, new software is commonly required. In fact, Win 8.1 may have problems with old hardware like VISTA came on. I still run a Dell system with XP on it. Most things run fine (though I have to get rid of malware and such periodically). So you don't really have to update with every change, but you may be on your own with some things -- or depend on forums like this to try to help.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 professional Mac will not upgrade from 8.1.5 to 11.0.9

    Hi:
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 professional for Mac version 8.1.5 trying to upgrade to 11.0.9 but when I download the update it fails to grab the application. Although its visible, to advise to install the update it will not allow me to click on update. I am using a MacMini running on
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    From AA 8, you have to purchase the full AA XI. There is no upgrade for products before AA 9. You should not have been able to purchase XI from Adobe as an upgrade with only 8 as the prior product.

  • Is there any way Acrobat 8 Professional will work on Windows 7, 64 bit?

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7 64bit. Acrobat 8 Professional doesn't seem to work with this setup.  Is that true?
    On install of CS3 the installer asked me for the adobePDF.dll, which after searching online for help I found the adobePDF.dll_64, which is supposed to be used to make Acrobat work.  Unfortunatly it was unsuccessful for me.  Everything installed fine but I can't open or edit a PDF.  My windows is up to date.
    Is there anything else I can try short of upgrading?  $200 just to upgrade isn't something I'm interested in at the moment.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Upon launching Acrobat 8.x, "Application" and "Getting started" appear on the desktop, and Acrobat becomes unresponsive, with a hang ranging from one to three minutes followed by either of the following errors:
    • Windows7reg; dialog box indicating the application (Acrobat 8) is not responding after a certain time threshold
    • Acrobat dialog box, "A serious error has detected and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot continue. Please re-install the application and try again."
    So  give it a try. Good luck

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
