Unable to install updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and MS Office 2008

This is a followup post to a nagging problem last fall that prevented successful installation of product version updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2008 running under OS X v10.6.5. Days of fruitless, circular pursuit of solutions from both Adobe and Microsoft tech support provided no recognition of the problem…let alone an answer.
Fortunately, a few helpful techs at a nearby Apple Store yielded results. They were initially as perplexed as their counterparts but it gratified to this customer when each recognized the problem was real and was sufficiently motivated to track down a solution.
By process of elimination it was suggested: i) reinstall the original Snow Leopard 10.6.0 upgrade disk; ii) download the v10.6.5 combo update to bring the OS current; and iii) download and install the Acrobat and Office updates. It worked—perfectly—the first time.
The consensus seems to be that a combination of many successive installations of OS and product version updates eventually produced conflicting instructions resulting in stalemate.
Remarkably, it hasn't been necessary (or appealing) to perform a clean install since some point prior to the introduction of OS X. Nor has it since. A 'rollback' to the original Snow Leopard version with one subsequent update to the current OS version appears to have cleared out a nest of remnant conflicting instructions. Kudos to Apple's tech support and Occam's Razor.

Hello,
You can download the Acrobat 9 updates manually by following link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
However, PDF Maker plugin would not be enable in Outlook, as Acrobat 9 is not support with Office 2013.
Please refer to following compatibility chart:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
You need to have Acrobat 11 to get PDF maker plugin in Office 2013.

Anoop

  • Where can I find updates for Acrobat Pro 8?

    Does anyone know where I can find the update files for Acrobat Pro 8.0? My scanning keeps crashing the program. I know its an old version, but its the only one I've got!
    Thanks!

    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/. Be sure to install the updates in order. Since the HTML descriptions are gone, it is impossible to tell which ones you can skip. Reboot after the last update.

  • How can we get incremental updates for Acrobat Pro 9

    We have VLK for Acrobat Pro 9 and the only version that doesn't crash Office 2007 Professional Publisher is 9.4.6.  I can't get just that update to install it jumps from 9.2 to 9.5.  9.5 falls into a loop for prompting for saving information.
    Thanks!

    You get the updates by going to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows for Windows. There is a similar page for a MAC.

  • Cannot install updates for Acrobat X Pro for Mac

    I have version 10.0.13.  I had singed up for notification of updates but have not received any so I am now looking to download any updates past this version.  I am not ready to move to XI. 
    When I go to install and it asks to select the file I want to update, I select Acrobat Pro folder and all files are greyed out under that.  The only thing I can then do is cancel which terminates the install.
    This is frustrating as I don't have all features that your support pages show.

    I was misunderstanding that I could update to v11 from v10.0.13, the last
    update for v10 as the updates listed them along with v10.  Since I searched
    for v10 updates, I would think only those that were actually available to
    me would have been presented by Adobe.  This was the source of my
    confusion.  Unless there is an upgrade path for me to v11, please consider
    this case closed.

  • Adobe Updater for Acrobat Pro 9.0 FAILS - how can I update??

    My company has about a dozen machines that run Acrobat 9.0 Pro on Windows XP sp3, or Windows 7 sp1.  In the past few months, I've had to reinstall Acrobat 9.0 on these machines for various reasons.  Every single one of them is still at the 9.0 version because Adobe Updater fails to upgrade.  Adobe Updater is trying to download Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0 (CPSID_50026) and fails with "This file cannot be verified"
    I've also tried downloading and installing AcroProExUpd910, AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr, AcroProStdUpd910_T3T4_incr, AcrobatUpd920_all_incr, AcrobatUpd930_all_incr, AcrobatUpd940_all_incr, and none of them will install.  They fail with an error a windows installer error indicating that the path to the program may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. 
    Is there any simple way to fix this so I can update these individual installations???

    All of the updates are available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. Looks like about 14 updates (lot fewer than all the security updates for Windows though). As I indicated there is a process for combining them into a cummulative update, but that is only something I can mention so that you might look in the old Acrobat forums that is read only and see if it is there. In the enterprise topic they give a link to http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobatitinfo to help in this regard. If you are only doing a few cases, it may not be worth the time to combine, but just put them on a memory stick and go around and install them. Most of them cannot be skipped, but must be installed in order. You should be able to get away with out rebooting between versions and simply wait to the end. That would save a bunch of time.
    If the update does not work from the help menu, then the download is your next option as I have indicated. If it works from the help menu it may save you a lot of time, but apparently you are not going to be that lucky.

  • Where can I find updates for Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

    I have just changed computers, and after installing Acrobat Pro 9 from the disk, I can't find updates anywhere.  All the links to Mac updates only go back to 10.  Also, my Help menu does not contain the traditional "check for updates."
    I know there are updates--my current machine (Snow Leopard) shows version 9.5.5.  I have no idea how I did it.
    The un-updated Pro 9.0 seems to work fine with Yosemite (new machine), but I'd really like to get it up to date as much as possible.

    Hi Phoenix89MR,
    Please download the updates from the FTP location mentioned below.

  • Problems running updater for Acrobat Pro

    Since I upgraded to a Windows Vista computer 4 years ago I have had problems running Acrobat Pro Updater. This goes all the way back to v7. The installer always fails with error 1601 'Can't find network path.' I went through all of Adobe's troubleshooting docs. The only method that I found to a solution for the 1601 error that worked was to edit the registry by deleting all MS Office installer entries. Then running the updater. Then reinstalling the registry entries. Not a big deal one time but a pain in the *** over the last couple of years. And not terrifically elegant. After completely unstalling Acrobat Pro and installing new versions and CS Suites several times, the problem remains.
    Surely there must be a better way to deal with these updates.

    This has been a pattern since I started using a Vista workstation in 2007 with Acrobat 7 Pro and the original CS Suite. I'm now on Acrobat 9.x Pro and CS5. At one point I reverted from Office 2007 to Office 2003 thinking it might make a difference. It did not. So, it would appear that any version of Office and any version of Acrobat have this problem with some Vista installations. This workstation is running all current Vista service packs and patches.

  • Where can I download an install file for Acrobat Pro version 9 for Mac.

    I had Acrobat Pro version 9 running fine under Snow Leopard but since upgrading to first Mavericks and then Yosemite it has issues. I was running it under Snow leopard Server and parallels but after some problem it needs reinstalling and I can't find a suitable install file.
    I searched the Adobe web site and came up with the Windows version but my Mac version Serial number is no good for that. Any ideas where I might find the file?

    You can find the download on http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • Change the install path for Acrobat Pro X

    Hi everybody! I just downloaded the AcroX trial to see what's beef with the new release, but I ran into a very annoying problem:
    I'm quite nitpicking about my Applications folder, and I installed all of my other Adobe software into an "Adobe" subfolder.
    I just noticed that during the installation is not possible to easily change the installation path like you can do in other Adobe setups...
    I found this in the KB
    (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Mac_OS)
    "You cannot install Acrobat to a custom location." and other stuff...
    The question is: do you have any idea of the priority of this bug? Will this be fixed anytime soon?
    Thanks, Agia

    Hi,
    Just followed the link you gave. In the try option for Acrobat X Pro the dropdown only has options for Windows installers and not MAC Installers.
    Secondly to answer your issue for customize installation to a path on OS 10.6, follow the following steps:
    1) Mount the dmg on MAC
    2) Launch the installer package
    3) Click OK on popup that you need to close running instances of Acrobat
    4) Click next to go to Read Me.
    5) Click next to move to Installation Type screen where we have buttons "Install", "GoBack" and "Customize". Click on Customize
    6) In this screen you will see 3 checkboxes "Application", "Browser Plug-In" and "Print Workflow" with columns as Package Name, Location, Action and Size
    7) Corresponding to Application Checkbox there is Location specified (With a small folder icon) - Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Click on this to select your location (2nd column)
    This is similar to what traditional Apple products installers do like XCode installer. There is nothing new in this.
    Thanks,
    Karan

  • What IP address to download updates for Acrobat Pro 9

    Our firewall is blocking a lot of websites and I need to update my Adobe Acrobat 9 to get the latest updates.  I am trying to get PDF Maker to work on Outlook 2013 and from what I've researched from a fresh install Acrobat 9 will need to be updated.  Its not letting me update so I know it has something to do with our firewall.  Anyone know the IP address so I can give to our techs? Thanks.

  • Why does it take so long to install updates for MacBook Pro?

    My Dell Desktop never took so long to install system updates or updates to my iPod. I thought since this is a Mac, that updating my iPod would be fairly quick...12 hours is unacceptable.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    153.8 MB on disk (153,825,280 bytes). No other wi-fi devices, but it's done now...finally.  Also, I accidentally downloaded updates for iMac so that probably didn't help my cause...oops.   When I get my own place I will have a broadband connection or whatever is the fastest.  We can't get it out where I live right now.  Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

  • Error (150:30) for Acrobat Pro 9.3 and PS 3 & 4 CS

    I just had a very nice call with a support person at the 800 number, but I thought that I would still post my problem in the hopes that it might still help move towards a solution.
    I lost use of Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 back in early June when I updated my MAC OS to Lion (OS X 10.7.4). After I upgraded to Lion, Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 stopped working and started giving me a notice saying, "Suite Product Activation Needed".
    I unistalled the program and then reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 from the orginal Adobe CS 5 Design Standard disk. At that point I found that the reinstall still did not work and had created an additional set of problems. I stopped working on this because I was leaving my main office for the summer and figured that I would survive short term with Adobe Reader. I also figured a patch would present itself given enough time.
    Now that I am back, I've found the time to revisit this. I am wondering if I somehow missed an opportunity to fix this because Lion upgraded to Mountain Lion and I upgraded the Mac OS before finding a fix for Acrobat.
    I spent most of yesterday working on this and this is what I found:
    1) I cannot not upgrade Acrobat Pro at all. It is stuck on version 9.3.0. This is important because I saw 9.5.2 was released and, if it has a patch, I cannot use it because I can't get back to 9.5.1.
    2) I have been all over the boards looking for a solution. I did find the Support Document #51260 (which phone support directed me to as well). This document, "Error 'Licensing has stopped working'|MAC OS", outlines fixes up through Lion, but has not been updated to Mountion Lion.
    3) From document #51260, I went ahead and downloaded LicenseRecoveryLauncher to have it. The problem, however, is this is a PowerPC app and Mounton Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps.
    4) Because of document #51260, I tried opening my older Photoshop programs from CS 4 and CS 3. I get the same (150:30) notice with Photoshop CS4 ver 11.0.2 and just a notice saying that Licensing has topped working with Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1.
    5) Since I'm writing this, I find that I am getting the same Licensing notice for Illustartor CS 3 & 4 and In Design CS 3 & $.
    6) The one program that I can use is Photoshop CS 5 Version 12.0.4
    As I said earlier, I am wondering if I didn't miss a window of some sort to fix this by not seeing the fix for Lion as described in Document #51260. I am also wondering if the problems are related to the fact the Mac no longer supports PowerPC apps.
    Regardless, the problem of not being able to run Acrobat Pro 9 still exists for me and the current fix document does not solve the issue for Mountain Lion. Is there an updated fix that does?
    I am running:
    Mac Pro (Early 2008)
    Processor  2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X 10.8.1 (12B19))
    PS - I tried downloading Acrobat 9.5.1 and when I click on the installer I get a warning message saying "AcroProUpd951_all" is an application froman unkown source and am I sure that I want to open it. I did open it, but it does not run a program. It takes me to Mac HD/users/My User Name/Documents/Acrobat User Data and then there is nothing to select. I can't even slect the Acrobat Pro Icon in the apps folder. My web browser is Firefow 15.0

  • HT4623 Hi, I'm unable to install updates on my iPad. I tried several times and i received a message saying I'm not connected to the internet. I have a wifi at home. I also tried through my MacBook Pro with no success.

    What model iPad and what version of iOS is it currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
