Unable to find Adobe AIR on Windows 7

I have recently tried to download Adobe AIR and the computer reads that it was successful. However, when I try to locate the Adobe AIR application all I can find is the Installer. I tried looking in the OS, searching, basically looking everywhere and I can't find it. When I try and reinstall the program it just reads "This version of Adobe AIR is already installed on your system." But it didn't install, at least not correctly, because I can't find it. I'm not a big computer person so any help would be much appreciated!

Go to the PS Windows forum.

  • Unable To install adobe air on windows 7

    + I tried installing in safe mode, didn't help either, it said maybe administrator didn't allow to perform the action, but I tried it via run as administrator!
    Please help me, thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Could you try Windows Install Cleanup tool (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459) to remove AIR Runtime and then install the latest AIR Runtime again? To install this tool on 64bit Windows, you need to run this program in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3 (right click the exe file, Properties -> Compatibility)
    Thanks,

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF Printer

    I am trying to convert a Word document into a PDF by right-clicking on a Word document and telling it to Convert to Adobe PDF. I keep getting the error message "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" printer or "Acrobat Distiller" printer. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" I try to run the repair mode and it'll run the repair mode, but nothing changes. Also, I used to have an Adobe tab in my Microsoft Word program but that is gone. All of these problems started when I got a new computer that is running Windows 7. Any idea on how to fix this? Right now I'm having to use PDF Complete, but I'd rather use my Adobe!

    No, but you might have to do some work to get AA8 to work on your system. The first step is to update it, currently at 8.3.1 (you have 8.0.0 that may be your issue). AA8 is not certified for use on Win7, but several folks have been successful getting it to run. However, you might run into hickups at times even if it does run. In the meantime, try opening the document in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, you at least have a production method.
    The next step is to figure out why PDF Maker is not working. For this, open the document in WORD and see if the Adobe menu appears. In WORD 2007 it will likely be the right most menu item named Acrobat (that is on my WORD 2007 system with AA8, though this is a VISTA machine). If that menu does not appear, then the Adobe macro in WORD needs to be enabled.
    If the printer is not running, then further work is needed. Let us know what the current status is and then we can go from there.

  • Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files PROBLEM

    I've installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on Windows 7 operating computer.
    And while I was trying to create PDF from a file, it always shows
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files.
    Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?
    Yes or No
    I've pressed yes yet it doesn't really help me and still shows the same message.
    I've pressed no, and it doesn't do anything.
    ANY IDEA?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    Does this occur if you are logged in as the administrator? Have you updated AA8 to the latest version? You very likely need the latest version to run on Win 7, particularly since AA8 is not certified for Win 7. If you have a 64-bit system, there is no question that you need to update.

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files on Acrobat X Pro

    I have a Windows 7 32-bit machine that receives the following error when attempting to create a PDF from Microsoft Office Word 2010: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files. "Acrobat PDFMaker" You must have Administrator priveleges to install these files. Please contact your local systems administrator" The user is a local administrator. Note: This does NOT happen on Excel 2010, only Word.
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Acrobat Pro, running the installer in safe mode from the default local administrator account, printing directly to the PDF printer and following several other suggestions from similar threads.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    It doesn't use Java, ok ? What does it need ?

    Adobe AIR.

    sucks.

  • Error trying to Install Adobe Air on Windows 7

    Trying to install Adobe Air on Windows 7.  Error:  Application descriptor could not be found for this application (301).

    AIR isn't an application, but a runtime that other applications use.  It's similar to Java.  You don't run it directly, it's just something other applications need to have present so they can run.  You won't see any reference to it in your Start menu, though it will appear in your Uninstall control panel.  The applications that use AIR (like Tweetdeck, BBC iPlayer, etc) will have links in your program list.

  • Adobe Distiller 11.0.9 - Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT"

    When I attempt to launch Adobe Distiller Pro 11.0.929, I get an error:
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT" You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
    Does anyone know how I might resolve this error?  Re-installing Acrobat fixes it, however I'm getting this error on multiple machines so I would prefer to not have to re-install if possible. Any clues or hints you might have are very welcome!

    Yes, the folder exists and I am able to access it.

  • Adobe air on Windows phone 10 ?

    Hi all,
    Windows phone is more and more popular every day.
    I still haven't bought a windows phone only because Adobe AIR is not supported on it.
    Do we have any idea if Adobe will release adobe AIR on windows phone in the future ? (maybe with windows 10 ?)
    I can't understand why Adobe don't do it....

    That's a good point. I was wondering the same thing, since Windows 10 is the next big thing and it is coming to every Windows devices, it seems to me that it would be the perfect time for Adobe to jump in! Having access to the Windows mobile world make AIR the prime choice for developping mobile and desktop apps.

  • Try to convert doc to PDF, Unable to find "Adobe PDF resourse files, Ask help

    Hi guys,
    I am tryng to convert word doc file to PDF by acrobat v9.0 pro, I got the message as "Unable to find "Adobe PDF resourse files", and "Acorbat could not open 'filename' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ...".  I did several times to run the installer to repair it,  and remove and re-installed several times with different folders  for the Adobe acrobat. I also did check the setting by "Preferences" under the item "Edit'. But nothing changed. I use it for generating and merging 1 or more doc files into a PDF file, so the micorsoft word which can make PDF file or use PDF printer is not useful for my object. Any ideas and helps? I really appreaciate anyone can give me help, Thanks a lot.

    You don't need Acrobat for this at all.
    If you select "Print..." there is a "PDF..." button in the lower left corner of the dialog. Click the button and select "Save as PDF..." or you can do "Open in Preview..." and save from there.
    OS X has had the ability to generate PDFs since the 10.0 days. The whole graphics infrastructure is based on PDFs. You have no need whatsoever for Acrobat on the machine to do this.

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files/Expired Certificate

    A user running CS4 is unable to use the Save As PDF (the Acrobat COM Add-on - not the native Office feature) function from Office 2007. The error displayed is:
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files.
    "Acrobat PDFMaker"
    You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator."
    I have done the repair install with no change. This error still occurs.
    In researching this issue I visited the Office Trust Center and found that the Adobe Systems, Incorporated VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA certificate expired on 11/5/2009. The user believes this is when the error started to occur.
    Is the certificate the cause of this error? Is there a newer code signing certificate available?
    Any other suggestions on getting this issue resolved?

  • Unable to find Adobe PDF resource files since SP3 installed

    We have a user who is sure since XP Service Pack 3 was installed that he cannot print to PDF. Once he clicks Print he gets an error stating
    Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files
    "C:\...\Adobe PDF 6.0\Settings\Adobe PDF Converter.joboptions"
    Running the installer in repair mode does not work. Reinstalling the whole thing does not work. However when I log in as an admin user the issue does not occur at all. It is Acrobat Standard 6 by the way.
    Thanks

    Does this occur if you are logged in as the administrator? Have you updated AA8 to the latest version? You very likely need the latest version to run on Win 7, particularly since AA8 is not certified for Win 7. If you have a 64-bit system, there is no question that you need to update.

  • Unable to find adobe pdf resources

    I have creative cloud and have installed Acrobat PRO XI.  However, in word when I click Acrobat and click preferences I get an error unable to find adobe pdf resources.
    It seemed to work before I installed XI. Any suggestions?

    I'm using Word 2010 and the Acrobat information is one of the tabs on the top.
    When I click on the file there is a save as Adobe PDF but this also gives the error. I can do a save as PDF and it will make a PDF, but it does not allow me to save images without compacting. That is why I need to access the preferences.

    Hi! I believe you are trying to ask a question about Adobe Acrobat Standard. If that is the case, asking in the Acrobat forums would get it a quicker response. This forum is for Adobe Connect.
    Otherwise if I mis-assumed, please rephrase to help us better understand the issue at hand.
