Transitioning from MS XP PRO to Windows 7 reload adobe acrobat

I am preparing to go from MS XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro.
Since the MS instructions say the partition will be wiped during Windows 7 installation and I'll have to reload all pgrms on my computer.
Currently, I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Std, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX, Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin, Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 installed.
Do I just call Adobe and ask for assistance in reloading? vern

Adobe won't help since Acrobat 9 is out of support, just like XP, and the other things are free - no free support.
But you can reinstall Acrobat 9 from the original CD with the serial number. Make sure you have BOTH of these before you start. If it was an upgrade you also need the older serial number.
The other free stuff can be downloaded as needed.

    Hello,
    I have a question concerning Upgrades:
    Can I upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows to Adobe Acrobat IX Pro for Mac?

    Hi Christian ,
    I am not sure if you are eligible to upgrade from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows to Adobe Acrobat IX Pro for Mac as this is an older version of Acrobat.
    Refer this link to connect with the chat support team ,they will assist you further with the same.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    With "license" you mean serial number?  If that serial number was for a different Acrobat version (e.g. 9), you cannot use it for the current version XI.
    You can however use it to purchase an upgrade from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html

  • "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat 9" message

    I installed Acrobat 9 Standard on my Windows XP PC (3.02GHz HT CPU with 1GB RAM and 4.25GB free HD space) and it runs OK if I'm logged on as an Administrator. However, if I log on as a non-privileged user, I get the pop-up message "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat 9" for EVERY action I take. That is, if I start an application such as Firefox, I get the message. If I right-click on a file in Explorer to copy it, I get the same message, etc., etc.
    This was a clean installation - all previous Adobe products cleaned off the PC. This is a ridiculous situation. Anybody know what the problem is and how to get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike, try deselecting the Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option
    Choose Edit > Preferences > Internet, deselect Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
    Or disable the Acrobat browser check preference by choosing Edit > Preferences > Internet and deselect Check Browser Settings When Starting Acrobat
    The Acrobat Display PDF in Browser option displays any PDF document opened from the web inside the browser window. If this option isn't selected, PDF documents open in a separate Acrobat window. A corrupt registry setting causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat.
    When you start Acrobat, it checks your default web browser preferences for compatibility with Acrobat and this preference setting may become corrupt. A corrupt preference file causes the error to occur each time you start Acrobat. Turning off, then back on, "View PDF in browser" forces Acrobat to remove and re-create the applicable registry setting. When "View PDF in browser" is re-enabled, the corrupt registry key is written correctly.

  • Recently reloaded Adobe Acrobat/CS3 on Windows 8- will not work with printer

    I recently trashed my old laptop and reloaded Cs3 on the new one with Windows8. When I open Adobe Acrobat, it will not allow me to "Create from Scanner" because it does not allow me to "Select a Device".
    Even though I can print to the same device just fine in Illustrator or Photoshop, Acrobat does not seem to recognize the device.
    According to Adobe Customer Care (HA!) the issue is not the activation because it shows I am already activated.
    During the initial process of reinstalling CS3, it did ask me to insert my copy of Windows, which I skipped, because this new computer/laptop came pre-loaded and I don't have a disk, per-se.

    Most likely an unresolvable compatibility issue. CS3 comes from a time where Win 8 couldn't even be dreamed of, after all. As suggested, update your printer driver and check the permissions on the device, but that's as good as it may get.

    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • "Upgrading" from Adobe Acrobat for Windows to Adobe Acrobat for OS X (Mac)

    I own Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard but no longer use it because I purchased a Mac. Can I "upgrade" to a Mac version of Adobe Acrobe Acrobat?

    No upgrades from Acrobat 7 are available for anyone - they finished long ago, unfortunately. Only Acrobat 9 upwards are eligible.
    You would simply need to purchase Acrobat XI (11) Pro for Mac.
    (Note if anyone happens to have a recent version of Acrobat Standard and wants to upgrade to Acrobat Pro for Mac, this is called a "crossgrade" and only available by directly talking to Adobe customer service).

  • How do I open a new window in Adobe Acrobat using the plugin sdk

    I would like to create a new menu item that when clicked it will open a new window (e.g. winform). What I'd like to do is pull data from a server and interact with the user in that window.  Basically show the user a list of PDF files to pull from the server.  Once the user is done selecting which file to pull to have the file pulled from the server into the local drive and have it opened in Adobe Acrobat.  The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to invoke a winform or something like it to place my lists of files and UI controls. I've looked at the samples in the SDK and don't see anything that deals with this particular issue.  I'm a newbie so I'm sure I'm missing something here.  I tried creating a new WinForm in a sample example and ran into errors and the form is not functioning.  Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you Dan_Korn,
    This suggestion is very helpful.  I like the idea of creating the new functionality in the language/environment of my choice and simply call it from the plugin.  The only issue I have is that when I start the other gui app from within the plugin I don't know how to communicate with it.  I would like to do these things with it:
    1. For the spawned off app to be able to tell Adobe Acrobat to open a file in a certain location.
    2. For the spawned off app to exit if Adobe Acrobat is closed.
    3. Also if the spawned off app closes for the handles to it to be desposed of and cleaned up to avoid leaks.
    Any ideas on the easiest approach to the above behaviors?
    Here's  my code so far in the plugin:
    void StartApp1()
              STARTUPINFO info={sizeof(info)};
              PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
              if (CreateProcess(NULL , "myexe.exe", NULL, NULL, TRUE, 0, NULL, NULL, &info, &processInfo))
                        ::WaitForSingleObject(processInfo.hProcess, 0);
                        CloseHandle(processInfo.hProcess);
                        CloseHandle(processInfo.hThread);
              else {
                             AVAlertNote("Couldn't luanch the exe");

  • Problem beim installieren von Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Problem when installing Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    Hallo,
    ich wollte Adobe Acrobat von 8 Pro auf X Pro updaten. Dabei kommt jedoch die Fehlermeldung, dass die Systemanforderungen nicht gegeben sind.
    Nun sind die Systemanforderungen aber gegeben.
    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit)
    3 Gb Arbeitsspeicher
    Prozessor: Intel Core2-Duo
    Festplattenspeicher ist auch genug frei.
    Internet Explorer ist in der Version 8 vorhanden.
    Alle Systemanforderungen, die auf der Verpackung stehen sind gegeben. Trotzdem lässt sich Acrobat X Pro nicht installieren. Auf anderen Rechnern mit der gleichen Ausstattung habe ich Acrobat X Pro bereits erfolgreich upgedatet. Nur dieser eine PC will nicht.
    Habt ihr schon mal von so einem Problem gehört?
    Würde mich über Tipps oder Lösungen freuen.
    Danke schonmal im Voraus.
    Gruß Top93
    Hello,
    I wanted to update Adobe Acrobat to X Pro. When I wanted to start the installation an error message occured. The systemrequirements aren't given.
    My systemrequirements:
    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit)
    3 Gb main memory
    Prozessor: Intel Core2-Duo
    30 Gb free Hard drive space
    Internet Explorer 8 is installed
    So you see the systemrequirements are given. On other PCs with the same configuration I updated Adobe Acrobat to X Pro without any problems.
    Has anyone ever seen such a problem?
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Top93

    Ok, ich habe das Problem gefunden.
    Auf dem Pc war Windows XP Pro SP2 installiert. Normalerweise haben wir auf jedem PC bei uns ein Standard Image, welches das Betriebssystem, MS Office und andere Programme, welche hier immer gebraucht werden, beinhaltet. Also habe ich auf diesem PC nicht nach dem Betriebssystem geschaut, da ja auf jedem PC Windows XP Pro SP3 installiert ist. Keine Ahnung warum auf diesem das nicht der Fall war.
    Trotzdem vielen Dank für deine Zeit und Mühe David.
    Gruß Top93
    Ok, I found the problem.
    On the PC Windows XP Pro SP2 was installed. Usually we've got a standard image on all our PCs with the main software like OS, MS Office and other programms. So I didn' look at the OS which is installed on this PC because on every PC is XP Pro SP3. I've got no idea why there was only SP2 on this PC.
    Nevertheless many thanks for your time and your effort David.

  • Windows 7,  Adobe Acrobat and the HP DesignJet 5000 PS

    We have users that connect to a networked DesignJet 5000 PS to print  out design documents. One of our users was recently upgraded to Windows 7  and is now unable to print from Adobe Acrobat.
    When  the user attempts to print, the print dialog box appears. However, when  she selects the printer from the dropdown box, Adobe hangs and then  crashes. No error messages are displayed aside from the standard "This  program has encountered a problem and must close."
    Other  programs can print to the printer. This issue only happens in Adobe,  and only on the computer running Windows 7. I was unable to locate a  Windows 7 driver, likely because the printer appears to be discontinued.
    I have tried in both Adobe Acrobat 8 as well as 10, and both produce the same issue. Since the issue only occurs in Adobe, I cannot find fault with the printer itself. Please provide any assistance you can.
    Thanks

  • How can I link an image without leaving the existing window in adobe acrobat??

    Hi everybody
    I'm new using adobe acrobat, but I saw (once) that in a manual, they linked a image.
    Just by passing the mouse over the linked word, the image appears "over" the pdf, without leaving the existing window
    Is this still possible?? and How??
    Thanks for your help

    If you need to do it very often, I've developed a web-service that allows
    you to enter a phrase (let's say "Product 1"), and have an image "pop-up"
    whenever the user hovers or clicks that phrase in your document. Contact me
    personally for more information.
