Status check: Shall I install my FrameMaker and Acrobat 8 updgrades or not?

Hi:
I recently purchased the FrameMaker 8 and Acrobat 8 upgrades. I received them more than a month ago but have yet to open the boxes.
That's primarily because (1) I have a very solid, reliable, trustworthy tools set in the form of FrameMaker 7.0 and Acrobat 5, and (2) I keep reading and hearing about a variety of annoying "gotcha" problems with either or both of the version 8 tools.
Secondarily, it's because I'm not aware of any "must have" features in the version 8 tools.
So, for those who have upgraded I have a question: Knowing now what you do about the performance of the version 8 products, do you recommend that I take a deep breath and install the upgrades or shall I continue to postpone the possibly disruptive upgrade 'til the products become a bit more trustworthy?
Cheers & thanks (and have a GREAT weekend),
Riley

There have been patches released for both Acrobat 8 and FM 8. So after your install, you'll still need to download and install those.
I personally didn't have any problems with either version on 8-10 systems, but the patches have greatly improved the stability.
You can leave FM 7 in place, but only one version of Acrobat can be on the system.
I'd go for it.

I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

Installing both Reader and Acrobat 0 Standard

Is it possible to install both Reader and Acrobat 9 Standard on the same computer?
I want to be able to make sure whatever I produce in Standard will work and open up in Reader or any other PDF viewer someone might use.

Hi,
I have both the reader and Pro on my computer, however, there are some issues with default actions, such as opening documents.
Is there some kind of guide to setup both reader and Pro on the same computer, just have them do different functions?
Thanks for your input!

XP,sp3 FireFox won't install. Removed , and updated, works on IE, not FireFox.

Installed FireFox for Yahoo. Says need flash. Used auto installer, said would not install. Tried manual install. No luck. Shut down, Removed Flash with Revo-unistaller. Ran install again, no again. Repeated unistall, manually reinstalled from Adobe site. Same result. Flash works with IE8.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Installed up-dates and now Adobe Bridge will not open

Installed new up-dates for Photoshop CC and now Bridge will not open?

HI Michael,
You can now install older versions of Adobe products straight from Creative Cloud Desktop. (Version 1.6.0.393)
Choose 'Previous Version' in the Apps filter as shown above and then Chose Bridge 6.0 for Bridge.

I installed Firefox 4 and it flat out is not working. What should I do?

I installed FF4 and it does not work. I can see the search window and the firefox symbol, and I can type in entries, but when I press the enter key or hit the search arrow, there is no reaction or response. The screen remains as is.

I would go to Control Panel, add/remove programs and uninstall all of it if it asks, then restart your computer and reinstall it again to see if that helps. You may have had a bad install.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I installed Adobe Pro and now pdf files will not open.

Help

Adobe Pro what? Adobe is the company with about 100 products. I assume you mean Acrobat Pro, but which one. Did you open Acrobat and activate it? Is Acrobat registered in your system? How are you trying to open a PDF? What OS are you running? With some information, be might be able to help you. Please try to address the questions to provide us the info.

I need a link for re-installing Design Premium and acrobat 9

I had to replace a hard drive so now I need to load my software back to my laptop. I purchased Design Premium CS5 and APRO 9.0 in 2011. How do I restore my products to the laptop?

if you follow all 7 steps (especially steps 1,2 and 3), you can download here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial numbers.
if you have a problem (error message, unavailable page or you are offered a current adobe version), you did NOT follow the directions.
the most common problem is failing to meticulously follow directions 1,2 and/or 3 which are needed to add an adobe.com cookie to your computer that allows you to download directly without using the akamai download manager.
again, follow the directions and you'll have no problem.

Hi, why is FCP X stuttering and beach balling after I installed 10.1 and 10.1.1? Not all and admittedly the heavy file sizes of which the project consists, but it wasn't doing this before hand. Also, WHERE is the "switch to proxy" button for playback?

Thank all, BTW.

If you have a lot of files in one library, create a new library for the project you're working on.
The Proxy selection is now in Viewer Display options.

In FF 37.0.1 the plugin status checker is suddenly reporting that my Adobe Reader PDF plugin (11.0.10.32) is out of date & vulnerable.

This wasn't the case when FF first upgarded to 37.0.1 but has changed in the last few days. I've checked for updates using the Adobe Reader console and it confirms that I have the latest version with 11.0.10.32. If I do click on update via the status checker, taking me to to the Adobe Acrobat Reader download page, the version offered for Windows Vista is 10.1.4 - surely an older version of what I currently have?
Is this yet another flaw in Firefox's plugin status checker or do I really need to change something?

Hi jonadelman, if you have 10.1.6, you are current. It's just that the plugin checker doesn't know that both 10.1.6 and 11.0.2 are current.
