Try to open Acrobat 7.0 standard, and the reader opens

The title says it all. The Reader is the default to look at pdf documents, but why does the reader program open when I want Acrobat?
I have to have the reader as the default (long story, but we have some accounting software that might be 'upset' at the change.
If I have to set Acrobat 7.0 as the standard, how do I do it, since the reader opens?

Thanks, but that does not address what is the problem. I did just that. I double clicked ACROBAT, and the reader opened. I closed the reader, and doub le clicked Acrobat again. Again the reader opened. I did this about 3 or 4 times.
Eventually, acrobat did open (and then, when I wanted the reader, acrobat opened..
So, it sounds as if this is a program that might have to be wrestled with.

  • Baffled! What are adobe acrobat 8.1 standard and adobe reader 8.1.05

    My laptop has installed adobe acrobat 8.1 standard. I need to complete an online form which requires a minimum of adobe reader 8.1.05 so I downloaded adobe reader X, assuming this would work, but get a pop-up notice telling me I need to upgrade and still cannot insert text in the form. Can anyone advise me what I need to download? I really am confused what the adobe acrobat does and what the reader does!

    The developer very poorly phrased the requirement.
    The proper phrasing could be "You need to update your version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to minimum version of 8.1.05."
    Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat are 2 distinct products, one only reads the other is a full processing product., but both products interact with the same file format and for the same version number Adobe Acrobat has the same capabilities that Adobe Reader has and then some features that are unique to Acrobat.
    With JavaScirpt a developer can identify the product (Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat), the variation (Reader, Standard, Professional, Business Tools) and the major and minor version of the product. And with that information and knowledge of the capabilities of each version, can make a custom message for the end user if a newer version is needed. This script can be executed as the PDF is opened. With some simple coding the developer could have even cusotmized the message for the procuct that tue user had. Had this been done, it would have been very clear as what you had to do. This information and properties have been avilable since the introduction of JavaScript in vesion 3.01.

  • Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 under Windows 8.1 x64

    Good Afternoon,
    my company plan migration from Windows XP to Windows 8.1 x64. For this reason shall I find out, which Software run under Windows 8.1 x64. From Adobe Products we need to know, if  Adobe Acrobat Prof. 8 and Adobe Reader Version 11 run under Windows 8.1. 
    If the Software named above run not under Windows 8.1 x64, could you write me please, which version we need und how much it is. Thank you very much.
    Best Regards

    If you have Acrobat, there is no need for Reader. Acrobat 8 is not certified for use on Win8.1, only Acrobat XI. You can get the current cost from the Adobe Store at Adobe.com. The cost is a per computer license. If you have a lot of computer, you might be able to negotiate with Adobe on a volume order or site license (for so many licenses) -- you would have to call Adobe on that.
    AA 8 can be made to work in some cases, but I would not recommend it in a business environment. It is not worth risking some hickup with software that is marginally compatible when you have some deadline or such.

  • Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file

    Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file ? My vulnerability reports show these installations are not patched when they really are.

    Hi All,
    I also facing the same issue with Adobe reader 9.5.4 version update.
    Previous Version installed: 9.5.3
    AcroRd32.exe - File Version 9.5.3.305
    AcroRd32.dll - File version 9.5.3.305
    After update installation to 9.5.4, add or remove program shows latest version but exe and dll is not updated. Vulnerability assessment tools based on file version check identifies patch is still missing. Becomes a HEAD ACHE.
    Adobe Reader 9 > Help > About Adobe Reader 9 - First shows version 9.5.4, if your click on it instead of showing AGM version next it shows version 9.5.3.305.
    I tested for all previous versions of 9x, works fine in each update. Seems like patch is missing codes for updating file versions.
    Waiting for an acknowledgement.

    when i try to FaceTime on my iPod touch, and the call gets accepted it says connecting... and then just goes to FaceTime failed. this started after a 800 number called my FaceTime. i have tried putting in several other emails & on diff wifi. suggestions??
    i have also tried facetiming with several other people. the same thing has hapened every single time and it has always worked just fine until that 800 number called me.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • Acrobat 9.3 standard and IE8 printing freezes

    I can't believe this is still an issue...its been a known problem since end of last year at least (IE 8 came out in Mar 09?). It freezes my computer such that I have to POWER OFF!!!! I am NOT looking forward to the first time this happens with a user.
    Older version of acrobat same web page on IE8 works ok.
    Has anyone else encountered this and have a workaround for IE8? How do I open or look at issues?
    My users are general....they are most likely to have IE and mostly hopefully doing their autoupdates to ie8. Perhaps they're not as likely to have Acrobat 9 (as opposed to older)...but this is such a bad thing to happen...

    Unfortunately, updating is not an option.  The person cannot update Acrobat because it would violate organizational policy.  He is locked in to Acrobat 9.3.1 for the foreseeable future.  What other options are available?

  • HT201406 I was printing and printer jammed. iPad gives the command; an error occurred printing this document Cancel Try Again - no response to either command and the iPad will not let me shut down.

    I was printing docs from my iPad and the printer jammed. iPad's screen now shows: an error occured printing this document - Cancel Try Again - the touch screen will not respond to any command. Cannot turn it off, cannot cancel and cannot try again. I've turned the printer off and restarted it.

    Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    BTW, you posted in the iPod topuch forum.

  • Difference between Oracle 8i SQL Standard and the 9i Lite version

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anybody could inform me of the differences that occur between the full Oracle 8i version and the current Oracle 9i Lite version in respect of the SQL they both use.
    Would the the way temporary tables are created and managed on the lite version be the same as that on the full version?
    Would the SQL syntax also be the same between the two?
    Any feedback on this would be great.
    Thanks
    Stephen

    > 1)Can anyone tell me difference between oracle8i
    sql engine and 9i sql engine.
    They are different versions.
    If you have been expecting a list of differences and enhancements and new product features... forget it. It will take several pages to list. Rather refer to the 9i product feature sheet.
    > 2)Does oracle 9i uses the index defaultly if any
    primary key is there in table
    Huh? Oracle will use an index if it determines that it costs less to use that index to get to the data, than not using an index.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard and the Digital Signature usage right

    Acrobat 9 Standard is apparently able to apply certain usage rights to a document. I am trying to confirm whether or not the digital signature usage right is included. The
    Acrobat 9 product comparison seems to indicate it is not, but the online help implies that it is.
    Can someone with Acrobat 9 Standard confirm this for me by testing a document that you've enabled for use with Reader by attempting to sign a digital signature field with Reader?
    George

    In the office area, the Pro version might be good to have for the forms and other features. For the general library, Reader is probably adequate. Actually allowing PDF creation on public machines can be an issue. In a small libary system, Acrobat might be reasonable where you do not have to deal with a large, diverse population. However, for basic PDF creation, only Std is needed. Having both AA8 and AA9 on the same machine can lead to problems. However, if you remove one, you will likely have to repair the other.
    The problem with older versions is that they may not properly read some of the newer PDFs that might be downloaded. For the latter, you could install the latest version of Reader, but you need to be aware that you may have to deal with issues of right clicking (windows) on a file and selecting which application to open a PDF with. For forms and some editing, the Pro version would be good to have. You also have PDF Optimize and PreFlight with the Pro version that generally are not including in the Std version.
    To help compatibility with the files you create, you can select Start>Printers>Adobe PDF preferences (right click on printer). In the settings tab>Default settings> select at least Std or better Press or Print and then push edit. Under the general tab select the compatibility and set it to AA8 so that every thing is compatibile with the oldest version of Acrobat you have.
    If you have more than one computer in the office, you might consider having AA8 on one and AA9 on the other. Do check and be sure you have licenses for whatever you have and that someone has not come in and installed a pirated version. Also be sure you keep the original CDs and licenses (or if they were downloaded, burn the downloaded version to a CD as an archive and write the SN on the label).
    Now that I have confused you, are there more questions?

  • Are Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Windows 8.1 compatible?

    Trying to install Acrobat 7 from cd onto new pc windows 8.1
    Gets to the point where it says installing acrobat but installation never progresses
    Retired and only really need to use it occasionally now so don't want to buy newer version if can be avoided

    In purchasing Win 8.1 (and probably a new computer), you have effectively made some of your software obsolete. If AA 7 installation is successful with Acrobat and Distiller, you will still have to create a work around as the Adobe PDF printer drive and AcroTray are neither compatible with Win 8.1. You might try to install it in XP compatibility mode. The drivers I mentioned will still probably fail.
