Unable to activate Acrobat Pro X [was:please help]

I have purchased the adobe creative suite 6 design standard, and I can't seem to activate acrobat pro x. I have uninstalled my trail version which was acrobat pro XI, but it still is not appearing on my adobe application manager.

What is your operating system?  What exactly means "can't"?

  • Acrobat Pro 9 problems - please help

    Hello there from Victoria, Canada
    We are a small group of teachers that produce monthly current events teaching units for Canadian schools.
    Some of our our customers receive the newsletter by mail, and the rest download pdf files from our website. The pdf files are password protected and we notify our subscribers by email what the password is.
    We have never had never experienced any major issues, until now. We recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro version 9 (from 8) and many, many subscribers have been contacting us claiming that they cant open the password protected files even though they are using Adobe Reader 9. When I create the pdf file, the settting I use is open with Reader 5 and above.
    Many of our customers are very frustrated and so are we. Can anyone please help ???? Is anyone else experiencing problems and what can we do to solve this?
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hi Eric,
    The file will never open in Mac Preview because Preview doesn't know how to decrypt it. The reason Preview thinks that the file is corrupt because it is encountering the encrypted data which appears to Preview to be junk. Only an application that has PDF decryption capabilities (e.g. Adobe Reader or Acrobat) will be able to open the file.
    As an aside, the file is in Acrobat 7.0 and later format (i.e. it uses the PDF-1.6 file structure) and although the encryption algorithm is one that Acrobat 5 understands (128-bit RC4) there are other elements in the file that cannot be displayed in Acrobat 6.x and earlier. Although Michael noted above that he was able to open the file in versions 5 and 6, the display would have been degraded.
    Assuming that the persons having trouble opening the file are not using Preview, but are indeed using Reader 9.0, are there any alert dialogs that come up when they try to open the file? And as Phil asked above, what system (OS and language) are they on?
    Also, because the Open Password edit box doesn't display until the entire file has been downloaded, it is possible that on slower systems that it appears that the file won't open.
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat Pro trial expired PLEASE HELP,

    Hello everyone
    I down loaded the acrobat pro trial but did not install it, I lent my laptop to a friend who installed it and and now I wanted to give it a try but the trial has already expired. Is there any way I can get the trial again to test out?
    Thanks

    You can also try it on another machine. Unfortunately, your friend may have used up your option. Why not borrow his laptop and install it there and see how you like it.

  • Cannot activate Acrobat Pro XI

    I had a subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and it automatically transferred to Acrobat DC I don't like DC at all, it has many bugs. I followed the on-line instructions to uninstall it and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI.When I try to activate Acrobat Pro XI it comes up with an error "Licensing of this software has stopped".I downloaded the trial from Adobe but when I sign in Acrobat Pro does not show up in my products so I cannot see the serial number, Very frustrating.
    Please help.

    Hi stephenl816,
    I've checked your account, and it looks like your subscription was not part of a Creative Cloud membership. So, it may be that you used the wrong installer to reinstall Acrobat XI. Please uninstall Acrobat, and then reinstall following the instructions in this document: Acrobat trial removed previous version | How to reinstall.
    An Acrobat subscription doesn't require a serial number, as we use your Adobe ID/password as verification/activation. You should not be prompted to enter a serial number if you install from the link provided in the document I link to.
    Let us know how it goes!
    Best,

  • I can't activate Acrobat Pro license

    Hello
    after the inconveniences and the impossibility to connect and sync my documents with Creative Cloud Connection, now it is the turn of Acrobat Pro to giving me trouble.
    I can't activate Acrobat Pro license, so I can't use it.
    After launching Acrobat Pro, a blank page that should contain the license agreement appears, but the button for accepting the license doesn't work. I have deinstalled and reinstalled several times the application without success.
    Thank you to explain me how to resolve this problem.

    Hi davadlaw,
    You can install Acrobat on the new PC and use your Adobe ID to activate the software.
    The purchased subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.

  • Why does Adobe force you to install a "cloud" program before they will activate Acrobat Pro?

    Why does Adobe force you to install a "cloud" program before they will activate Acrobat Pro?

    If you are referring to the Cloud desktop application, that replaced the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) which is what would previously have been installed instead.

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • After TimeMachine restore, cannot re-activate Acrobat Pro 9

    My iMac's hard drive crashed last week and after replacement, I restored from a TimeMachine back-up on an external hard drive. The only issues I had were getting Adobe applications (CS4 Web Premium) back up and running. After running the License Repair Tool, I was able to re-activate PhotoShop and Dreamweaver with my serial number. However, when I tried to run Acrobat Pro 9, it would not accept that same serial number the others did.
    When I launched the application, I got a dialogue asking for the serial number. When I entered the serial number, a red X displayed to the right. When I clicked the "Next" button, I got an error stating that the serial number was invalid. I double-triple checked the number to insure it was correct, but no dice. HELP!

    Hi BenjaminLipsman,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Kindly try the steps mentioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-invalid-serial-number-acrobat.html
