Unable install Japanese Font Pack to Win7 English

Dear Experts,
I need to install Japanese Font Package on Windoes 7 English, however I could not install the font pack FontPack1000_ja_JP.msi due to the error,
"This installer requires Adobe Reader X installed on your system. Please install Adobe Reader X before running this installer."
Even the latest Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 is already installed on the system...
Thank you in advance for your help.
Here is my pc sysinfo,
OS Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
OS Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
Installed plug-ins:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins\Updater.api
    Version: 10.1.3.23
    Creation Date: 2012/04/04
    Creation Time: 2:53:52 PM
Best regards,

The Japanese Reader version already includes the Japanese fonts, so it is usable for this purpose. Is this workable for you, or would you still like to try installing the Japanese font pack with the English Reader version?

I don't know that either; most likely it is some registry entry that is incorrectly set.
What I would try if I could not get the Japanese font pack installed with English Reader:
uninstall font pack and Reader
run the Acrobat Cleaner tool
reinstall Reader and font pack
If that does not work, then I have no more ideas.

Problem with Acrobat 8.12 keeps trying to install Japanese Font Pack

I have a client who received a pdf file and when she opened it she was told that it needed the Japanese Font Pack. I gave her admin rights but it still keeps doing it. My pc with the same setup works perfectly fine with the offending file. Now everytime she opens any PDF it tries to open the offending file first and load the font pack. I was able to go into the registry and remove the keys that mention the file and Acrobat works fine as long as we do not try and open that file again. We have installed the font pack separately. The offending file opens fine in Reader. Any idea why this would keep happening and if there is a solution to stop it from happening. Thank you.

Actually, since I started getting the security warning, I haven't tried it on another machine. You think this information might be only stored on my machine? It's worth trying... Thanks!

Japanese Font pack on Adobe Reader 9.1

we had installed the Japanese font pack while installing the Adobe reader 9.0 English package. Now we have pushed the Adober reader 9.1 package to the same workstations, but when we open a document containing the Jananese characters it gives an error saying Japanese font pack is not installed. do we need to re-install the Japanese font pack after intalling the Adobe 9.1 version?

I had the Japanese font pack 9.0 with Reader 9.0 installed, but I have no problems viewing Japanese documents after installing Reader 9.1.
However, I don't see the font pack in Add/Remove Programs, so maybe it has been removed during the 9.1 update? But strange, why can I still view Japanese documents?
I made a little experience: I tried to reinstall the font pack 9.0, but the installer gave me the option to Repair, or Remove - which means that the font pack is still installed.
Can you try the same?

Help! Federal W4 form always requires Japanese font pack

Hi! I've been tasked with automating the new hire process and the client would like to include the Federal W4 form in with a collection of other forms required for their internal new hire paperwork. So I download the form from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf, opened it in LiveCycle Designer 7.1 (on Windows XP), then saved the resulting LiveCycle form as a PDF. Now any time I try to open the form in Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 it goes to the web and requires that the Japanese font pack be installed. If I don't install it the form behaves very strangely, such as form field text disappearing anytime to tab off of them.
Now if I reopen the the newly created W4 LiveCycle PDF in LiveCycle Designer and save it as an XPD file I can see that the font "Kozuka Mincho Pro-VI R" has been inserted into the document. I have confirmed that this font is not present in the original Federal W4 from. My question is why is this font being added and how can I get rid of it? This has to be a bug.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

Thanks for the follow-up! Yes, that makes sense. However since I didn't have the Japanese font pack or any Japanese fonts installed on the development workstation then LiveCycle must have used it as a "fallback" font for unknown glyphs. Specifically somewhere in the LiveCycle code must have been detection for what it thinks might be Japanese fonts. I would bet that you are right, if we had the right font loaded on the system then it wouldn't have been an issue.
The performance issues are all with the Designer. There are quite a few objects in my 24 page PDF document. Since many of these PDF pages came from federal forms I imported them into Designer "perserving appearence" so the object count on each page in pretty high. Acrobat reader performs fine with the 24 page form, it's just the Designer that gets pretty slow on some operations.
By the way, do you know if Designer will have better support for adding/removing pages from a document. When I first attempted to assemble the new hire packet 24 page document I opened each federal form individually in Designer and simply copied and pasted the document objects into a new page in a single LiveCycle document to assemble the completed document. I discovered that this didn't work well (objects would paste without the correct fonts) so I went into Acrobat Professional and completely assembled the individual documents into a single 24 page new hire packet before importing this into LiveCycle. This worked very well, but now that I have a LiveCycle document I cannot use Acrobat Professional any more for these types of operations.
I guess my point is that assembing forms from separate documents in a one single LiveCycle document didn't work well just using the LiveCycle development tool. So my question is: are there going to be improvements to LiveCycle so that assembling documents is easier (much like what Acrobat Professional allows) and without flaw. Now that I have a 24 page LiveCycle document I cannot add any more pages onto the document from within Acrobat Professional. So another similar question is: will Acrobat Professional be enhanced to be more "LiveCycle aware" so that it can correctly add/delete pages even in LiveCycle documents. The current limitations with both products as it relates to assembling LiveCycle documents leaves something to be desired. I hope there are plans to correct this.

Installing Japanese Fonts

OK, fellow Apple users. I use both English and Japanese on this computer when typing. And I've recently downloaded some Japanese fonts and tried installing them, thinking that when I type in Japanese, I can use them as fonts for when I'm using photoshop, but the Japanese characters actually installed themselves into the English keyboard, and they won't change even if I type in Japanese... So, how do I install Japanese fonts into the Japanese keyboard instead? It'd be really helpful if I knew... Also, I was not sure where to have posted this, but I posted it here, since it's a general Apple problem.
http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb144/Blibbles/Screenshot2009-11-12at114309PM .png <- This is the problem, the characters are linked to the English Alphabet when they should be linked to the Japanese typing method.
ありがとう

The fonts can't be just for the US Keyboard... That wouldn't make sense.
These fonts seem to be specially styled Kana fonts which one might use for creating artwork of some sort, and for that purpose it may make sense to just put the glyphs at the Latin codepoints for input convenience. Real Japanese fonts are much larger and have thousands of Kanji characters in addition to the Kana, with all characters at their agreed Unicode codepoints. Some examples beyond those that OS X itself installs can be found here:

Hi.
I carrier is AT&T but I downloaded EastAsian Language pack from Hong Kong CSL.
When you complete the download, Go to "Start" - "My Computer" - "C:" - "Program Files" - "Common Files" - "Research In Motion" - "AppLoader" - delete "Vender.xml".Then, open the "Loader.exe" and connect Bold to PC.
When you reach to "Device application selection" page, you will see "Japanese Romaji Input Method" Check "Japanese Romaji Input Method" under the "East Asian Language and Input Support" section.
Please let me know if the above works for you.

Japanese font pack

In Adobe Reader, I am getting a message saying that I need to install the Japanese language support package, how do I do this?

For Adobe Reader X on Windows, download and install it from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4881

Japanese Font install

Windows 7, Adobe Reader X (10.1.6)
If I download the free 'FontPack1000_ja_JP' then I am able to view the doc.
As I'm in a corporate environment I paid for FontFolio_11_1_ESD1_LS1.
After searching and reading docs I managed to find the Japanese fonts (about 12); I've installed all and on opening the PDF doc I'm not able to view but am presented with a popup request to download FontPack1000_ja_JP
I've asked the question on how to install in Unable to view Japanese PDF
But no luck
I'm in a corporate environment but can I use the free FontPack1000_ja_JP as I have purchased FontFolio_11_1_ESD1_LS1?
I assume I am covered by the purchased license

Adobe Reader X Japanese font problem in Windows 7

This is happening if we open a PDF with Japanese font in Windows7 OS.
Tried to install Japanese font pack for Japanese Adobe X. But that is not getting installed with an error message : 'Install Adobe X before installing Japanese font pack'.
Only fontpacks for 10.1 version could get installed successfully. But its again same issue.
Can anyone hele here?
Thanks,
Rashmi

When that happens, can you check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if AcroRd32.exe is already running? If so, can you kill the process from Task Manager and try again?
Another thing to try when this happens is to restart Windows, does it work after that?

Having issues with created PDFs requiring Japanese language font pack when they should not

Last week, I created 3 forms for someone. They wanted a fourth, so I put that together today, but halfway through making it, my Livecycle crashed and refused to load up again (I have NO idea why...), so I reinstalled it. I went on to finish making the form, but for some reason, even though the language settings is set to English and not viewer's default locale, the form requires a Japanese font pack. My computer is set to Japanese locale, but with the default language set to English, it should bypass this. The oddest thing is that one of the 3 forms that I already created and sent to them (and worked fine!!!), now also asks me for Japanese language font packs. What the heck is going on?
The forms use nothing other than Myriad Pro, which is set to be embedded. My Acrobat opens them all just fine and shows font properties correctly, but my Reader dies and asks for Japanese font packs. Please help, thank you!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1910267/injection.pdf
This is a link to one of the 2 forms that is giving me trouble. It's simple, and was already created before my Acrobat reinstall, yet is now asking for Japanese fonts...
Edit: Forms were created using Livecycle Designer ES 2.5. I'm testing with Acrobat X and Reader X.

Thanks for your reply!
Ok, the form I linked, I actually only tested on my own machine, but had the Japanese font error so I assumed it held true for the new one as well. Here is the one I made today that has been tested on 4 computers (list below): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1910267/treatment_notes.pdf
These are the computers it was tested on:
My own computer (Windows 7, format/location set to English/US, default non-Unicode language Japanese, System Locale Japan) - pops up error in Reader X, but not Acrobat Pro X
These 3 computers are all set to complete English/US and do not have Acrobat:
The recipient's computer (not sure what OS, likely Reader X, no other languages installed) - popped up the error asking for Japanese fonts
My mother's computer (XP, Reader 9, I know it has Chinese installed, but I don't think it has Japanese) - no errors
My brother's computer (Vista, Reader 9, no other languages installed) - popped up the Japanese font error
And just for fun I tried on the HP Touchpad (Reader 10.3), but it just gives that error that it can't display the contents of the pdf. I think the WebOS port of Reader either is horribly incomplete somehow, or otherwise I have no idea.
I noticed the similar threads, but since they are unanswered, I thought I'd try again and see if I could get an answer. I've got my hands in the air at this point...

Unable to View Japanese Fonts in Reader

A conundrum I just can't resolve:
I have two computers, both running XP Pro.
I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site (version 8.1.2) and installed to both computers.
I have a PDF with some Japanese fonts in them.
When I open the PDF on computer 1, initially the PDF appears to display a row of dots where the Japanese text should be. Within seconds however, a prompt appears informing me that I must download a font pack to be able to display the text. I agree to the download, and it commences and installs automatically. I then have to restart Reader, upon which I can now view the Japanese fonts. Perfect.
However, on computer 2, although the same operations take place, the Japanese fonts never appear - only a row of dots.
I have tried uninstalling Reader and re-downloading and reinstalling. I have also tried manually downloading the Japanese font pack and installing it, with no change.
Any ideas?

Hmm - this is very unusual. I have installed the Japanese font pack on countless computers, and I have never seen such a problem.
If I were to experience this problem, I would try the following
- uninstall the font pack from Add/Remove Programs (Japanese Fonts Support For Adobe Reader)
- uninstall Adobe Reader
- reboot, if asked to
- reinstall Adobe Reader
- download the font pack from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html (make sure that the font pack version matches the reader version, i.e. font pack version 8 for reader 8.1.2)
- install the font pack
If all this still fails, then we'll have to come up with new ideas.

Cannot install Adobe Reader XI font pack

Hi, all, need ur kind help.
We used to use Adobe Reader X with japanese font pack and it's working fine. After recent upgrade to Reader XI, when we started to install XI font pack, we got the following msg. We've found that user has Japanese font pack for Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat X Standard - Japanese as well as Adobe Reader XI (11.0.04) on the machine. Have tried to remove Reader XI and install Reader X, then XI, then the XI font pack. Still the same error. Please advise what's the problem and how to complete font pack installation. Thanks.

I tried font pack for Reader 11 without installing Reader 11 on machine and I got below message as
Which says, Adobe Reader XI is required but your message shows Reader X.
I will suggest you to please check once again if you are running correct installer.

Japanese Fonts for Acrobat Reader X

With the older versions of Acrobat Reader to view a document that had both english and japanese fonts you had to install an extra font pack for the language that the additional fonts used. With Reader X I see there is a MUI for the Japanese version but I am using the english (US) version and want to view PDF files that have japanese fonts. Do I need to install additional font pack? If so where do I download it? If not how do I configure the reader app to view the fonts?

Hi,
Assuming that you have installed Reader MUI on an English OS, you will need to install the additional Japanese Font Pack to view any Japanese PDF (From the location mentioned in ssway's post). Reader MUI simplifies the process of installing different language versions of Reader by providing you with a single installer for the same.
The below link sheds more information on the same:

Font Pack issues

i can't get Font Pack to install because it doesn't recognize Reader X as being installed.

You have downloaded Adobe Reader X; did you also install it?
There was a similar issue recently with the Japanese font pack; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1012683 - I am not quite sure how it was resolved...

Adobe Reader X wants japanese Language Pack

Hi,
i'm having a problem with Adobe Reader X.
At our company we use BIRT (Business Intelligence Reporting Tool) to edit Templates for PDFs, which then are created via Projektron BCS (that's our accounting software), for example for offers or reports for a customer.
The specific issue here is Adobe Reader X demanding to install the japanese language pack when opening a pdf generated by bcs though there are no japanese letters anywhere in the template or its contents.
The problem doesn't come up when using Adobe Reader 9.x
I already checked the locale of the template (which is german), the font used is "serif" ...
I'm not sure if this is rather an issue concerning Adobe Reader X than an issue with BCS.
I hope someone can point me to the right direction.
Greetings from Germany

Hi,
Please share more details about your system like on which OS are you working. Please share a sample pdf file which asks you to install Japanese fonts also.
Thanks,
Karan
