Stop Acrobat Pro-Start up on Download

Every time I download a PDF file, Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional automatically starts up. I'd like to disable this.
I use Preview to read or print these files.
No need for Acrobat Pro right now.
The Get Info window is set to open PDFs w/ Preview, but Acrobat Pro always starts up.
Very annoying.
Thanks,
KenK

You have, if I understand the situation correctly, a couple of options:
1) you can turn off the option in most browsers to open "safe" files on download. In Safari, if that's what you use, it's a checkbox in Safari's General preferences. Then the downloaded document should not be opened automatically.
2) you can change the application which by default opens a PDF. Click on a representative file, Get Info (Command-I or under the File menu), go to the Open With.. section, select Preview as application to open the files, and click the Change All button.
Hope this helps.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

    Hi williamc48321229,
    You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
    Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.
    For more details on this, please refer:

  • I purchased monthly subscription to Acrobat Pro. After I download, it asks for a serial number. I don't have one - what gives.

  • Acrobat pro x korean version download link?

    I bought CS6 design standard 2 years ago
    it comes with Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and Acrobat X Pro.
    I was able to download all three program one by one in Korean version, but not Acrobat X Pro.
    So I downloaded English version but my serial isn't working with it.
    I need Korean version download page so I can get Acrobat X Pro

    Acrobat XI (and now DC) appears to be the first one that has a Korean UI:

  • How to STOP Acrobat Pro DC popups?

    I purchased Acrobat Pro in 2014. Now I keep getting Acrobat Pro DC popups. When I followed the instructions from the forum and clicked the button to "license" the software (that is already licensed), the number was not recognized.  How to stop popups?

    Hey [email protected],
    Since you are using an Acrobat license, you cannot use the same serial key to activate DC version.
    Please refer the following link to disable those pop ups:

  • Acrobat Pro 10 didn't download

    Greetings. I recently upgraded to CS6 design and web premium. I had been trialling indesign 6 and acrobat pro X1. Everything downloaded but Acrobat Pro 10 which supposedly comes with this. Now that Acrobat Pro XI has expired I need to use Acrobat Pro 10, but it is nowwhere to be found. What do I need to do  – everytime I try to open a PDF the expired trial version opens.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you very much for your speedy reply. Yes... upgraded from Creative Suite 5 Design Premium... The suite says it comes with Acrobat Pro X not XI....  The operating system I'm using is 10.6.8... Anyway...  I will uninstal XI and try download X by itself hopefully...  I will persist... thank you again.

  • Acrobat Pro XI won't download to my 64 bit Win Vista Machine - Why?

    Is it because it runs on an AMD Turlon 64 bit processor or is It Vista, the dinosaur?  Any help with how to proceed would be appreciated... I bought the "car" (Acrobat Pro XI), but the Dealer (Adobe) won't let me park it in my garage (Laptop) because the roof is 5 years old on my house. I jest, but you get the analogy...
    All i really want to do is password protect a PDF that I was sent and then filled the form and want to email to someone else and I don't want just anyone to be able to open the completed form...any tips here and maybe I can return the car to the dealer.. haha

    Thanks for the info on security.  Not sure the other party I am intending to send the document to is technically capable  to handle certificates.
    i Suppose if I could use a 128 hashed key as the password, it might be "good enough".
    On a lighter side, a halfway decent password (non dictionary words) is STILL better than shopping at a Billion $$ Furtune 1000 company like Target, Home Depot, or TJ Mexx to name a few (100 Milion cumomter account info stolen)..
    To continue my analog, I'm not ready to build a new grage for the new car just quite yet.... so the car goes back to the dealer... 
    So, I am still looking for a way to pasword protect a PDF. Does it need to occur at time of  PDF document creation?
    thanks in advance if someone knows a solution to my Password issue.

  • Stop acrobat Pro 9 from asking to upgrade to 10?

    We have adobe reader 9 and acrobat pro 9 installed on our systems with the updates on. We would like to keep version 9 updated, but we do not want to update to 10 yet. So far everything has been fine. Updates have been working and sticking to version 9.
    The other day a user got prompted to upgrade to version X when they where converting a file to to a PDF. We do not want users upgrading to X, is there any way to block this?
    Here's an image of the popup

    Quick update for those that are having the same problem thi sis what I did to solve it.
    Since this was a fresh install I hadn't opened Safari before attempting the upgrade.  So I opened Safari.  I then opened Acrobat and it indicated that a Safari pluging wasn't loaded properly.  I loaded the plugin. Exited both applications then reopened Adobe and ran the update and it worked.

    I am using OS X 10.8.4, with 16GB RAM.  Acrobat Pro XI crashes immediately I try to use sticky notes, and also when I open Preferences.

  • Acrobat pro XI won't download on my MacBook Pro Yosemite

    I paid for Acrobat XI Pro Subscription Edition on 28 October 2014.  It wouldn't download then on my MacBook Pro (Yosemite).  How can I donwload it without having to pay again?
    It is amazing that the only service I can get is from a community forum.
    If someone from ADOBE is reading this please know that I am paying for a service and I can't even get the software onto my computer.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Volume Licence Download

    I have a acrobat 9 pro volume licence and there is no installer available for download on my downloads page. Where can I find an installer for acrobat 9 with a volume license?

    The only other site that I know of that might be of some help is Adobe Licensing Website | Serial numbers | Orders | Accounts
    Half way down it describes how to download volume software.
    If that doesn't help, you probably have to talk to a live Adobe person Contact Customer Care

  • Purchased creative suite cloud but can't download acrobat pro... the download assistant says I already have it and i don't

    Everything else downloaded just fine. I did have an older version of Acrobat but I uninstalled it. I don't have any acrobat files anymore at all but the download assistant shows I have the software included in CS6. Help!

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 does not start anymore

    This happened to me three times now. One time Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 is working properly for weeks. It crashes once and after that it does not start anymore without providing a message or clue.
    What I used to do is remove CS6 completely and reinstall it. But this is tedious. Just uninstalling Acrobat Pro and reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.
    My guess is that a setting is stopping Acrobat Pro from starting. Is it possible to reset Acrobat Pro settings to the factory default? I've already remove the folders under
    %LOCALAPPDATA% \adobe\acrobat and
    %APPDATA% \adobe\acrobat
    but this doesn't help.

    Ok. This occasion I had a bit of time on my hand and found a solution yuhu!
    Make sure you have access to you license key as you have to enter it new after this procedure
    1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
    2) Delete or rename the file cache.db
    3) Open Acrobat Pro, you will be asked to license the software again under your Adobe-ID again.
    4) If asked to connect to your Adobe-ID and re-enter the license key.
    Now Acrobat Pro is working (as are all the other CS6 applications.
