Unable to open Adobe Acrobat Pro after CS4 Design Premium install

I recently purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I attempted to install it Sunday, and it completed with an indication of success. I then tried to open all my applications to make sure everything went well, and Acrobat keeps coming up with the following error: "You can't open the application Adobe Acrobat Pro because it may be damaged or incomplete." I tried to remove it with the uninstaller, and it does not see it. I have tried to install it multiple times. I even swapped out the DVD drive to see if it was having problems reading the disc, but nothing has helped. I even tried to delete it entirely. I currently have a web case open, but they state that can take up to 3 days to be answered. I tried to call technical support, but gave up after an hour on hold. I suspect a bad disc, but I really don't want to have to wait a week or more to get the issue resolved through sending endless emails back and forth with a web case. I was hoping someone would have a good answer to my problem that would not require that. I am trying to install it on a fairly plain OS 10.6.2 system. It is a 2009 Mac Pro Quad with 6GB of RAM. As stated, so far none of the other applications are giving me any issue. It has just been Acrobat Pro.
Thanks.

I ended up finding the probable solution to this problem. I downloaded the trial version of CS4 Design Premium. Seeing that I had already installed CS4, it asked what application I wanted to reinstall. I reinstalled Acrobat. When I opened it the first time, it told me that the licensing server could not be reached. I opened Photoshop, then it again. It has worked fine since then. I have updated it to 9.3.1, so it should be good from here on out.

    What is your operating system?  Acrobat version?
    What exactly happens when you try to open it?

  • I cannot install Acrobat Pro from CS4 Design Premium disks.

    Acrobat Pro Installer will not run from my disk. Original purchase CS 4. Updated in past to CS7. Running Mac Mavericks OS on new mini. I have docs serial #s etc.  Tried unsuccessfully to install AcrobatUpd11009 will not run installer on that or the original disk.
    Is there a support number I can call at Adobe to get help? or are user forums their answer to customer support?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I have been unable to download adobe acrobat pro, which I purchased on a month to month basis almost exactly 1 year ago, since I purchased it. I just received a renewal email and it had a link to download the program and for the first time when I clicked

    I have been unable to download adobe acrobat pro, which I purchased on a month to month basis almost exactly 1 year ago, since I purchased it. I just received a renewal email and it had a link to download the program and for the first time when I clicked on the link it actually sent me to a page that had the icon to download now. I clicked on that, but when I went to open the file and start downloading after about 3 minutes into downloading it says an error had occurred. Can anyone help me?

    I am a little worried. If you are an existing subscriber why would Adobe need you to download... I wonder if the message is a fake.
    I'm not clear, if you've had it for a year, whether you need to download, or you are just following the email?
    This page with the icon to download now. Was it a page on adobe.com ?

    Hi,
    Can you pls. provide more details of the issue?
    OS/Platform
    It would be great if you can provide the MSI logs for repair from the %temp% directory.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro serial number will not install or register

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and tried to install it on my computer.  I entered the serial number and registered it.  However, every time i open the program, it warns me that my 30 day trial will expire in 0 days.  I click on "license this software" and enter the serial number again, and register it again.  It works for one instance of use, then the insanity begins all over, and the trial expiration message pops up next time i open the program.
    I have tried uninstalling the software, then running the adobe cleaning tool, restarting the computer, then installing the software again.  This did not solve the problem.
    It is nearly impossible to talk to a human being at Adobe customer support.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Unable to unistall Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac

    I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac on my MacBook Air.  I decided it was not worth the money to purchase.  How do I get rid of it?  It has expired, but now I cannot open my regular Adobe Reader?

    Hello,
    her some links "How to uninstall ...":

    The same procedure I would use for your Adobe Reader. After that you load it down an install it anew.
    Good luck!

  • Trying to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro after a crash

    My laptop crashed last week and I lost everything on it.  Every.  Thing.  I’m dying over here and desperately need a break…
    Anyway, I’m rebuilding, much like New Orleans after Katrina.  One program at a time.  I want to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro, but my original key is invalid (I assume expired?)  What do I need to do to get a new key to reinstall it?  I appreciate any assistance or kind words anyone can offer.

    If you have a key or S/N, they are indefinite and do not expire. It may be an issue of the version you are trying to use it with. The key is tied to a specific version (9, X, XI as well as Pro and Std and Upgrade). There may also be an OS issue if it is a new machine. So information on the version, upgrade (or not), and OS would help us give you some idea of the problems.

  • Upgrading to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium Install Failure

    I am trying to upgrade to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium on Win 7 (32bit).  I am nistalling from the DVD which was purchased from the Adobe Store.  The box says it is for Upgrading from 4 or 3x.   I am entering the CS6 serial number and it is able to validate it.   When it goes into the Preparing to Install mode  the status bar never changes and after what seems like a very long time the Installation failed message is displayed.  I ran the Adobe Support advisor and  followed the link to the page that tells you how to resolve the issues and chose to go into the registry and look for "In Progess".  There was no "In Progress".     I have the serial numbers for CS4 and CS6 so they should be valid given that both were purchased through the Adobe Store.   I am very frustrated!!!!!!!!! 
    Installation Status:
    Installation failed:
    Adobe Advisor Results:
    Regestry:

    I downloaded and installed the Application manager and re-started the installation.  This time it got to installiing the applications and after 3 hours it was only 55% completed and showing that it was installing Acrobat  and had 2 hours to go. It seemed to be stuck so I cancelled the install.  

  • Unable to Open Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat Reader

    I used to be bale to open PDF files in Adobe Acrobat X Pro but now I cannot. I can still see PDF files with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, but Abode Reader nor Adobe Acrobat X Pro will open. I can still create PDF file (with other programs) but Adobe Reader and Acrobat X Pro will not open. I can't even open the program to deactiviate the serial number. I tried using the Repair option under Control Panel but that didn't fix the problem. What should I do?
    Currently Windows 7, using Creative Suite 6 (comes with In-design, photoshop...etc and Adobe Acrobat X Pro).

    Run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool, reinstall Acrobat.

  • I can't seem to be able to open Adobe Premiere Pro after downloading it and saying it's in use.

    I've downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro trial twice to see if the second time would work since the first didn't seem to. When I downloaded it twice, it says I was downloading the Adobe Premiere Pro family package and after downloading it, it said that the program was ready for use. I went to my start menu and search the program and all I got was the adobe premiere pro cs6 files and the picture of the purple cd and the set up and etc. Can someone please help me?
    PS: I had downloaded it from the adobe website not from adobe creative cloud.

    It won't even let me uninstall it. it says that my uninstallation encountered errors and when i click on the error summary idk what it means
