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.

  • 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?

  • PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

    Hi-
    Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds.  Afterwards, it's fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

    Any chance you are also using Quickbooks?  I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between  Quickbooks and Acrobat 9.  My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit.  According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8.  So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8.  The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully.  Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
    The problem is not in opening Acrobat.  It opens just fine.  It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

  • Unable to open PDF directly if user use Acrobat 8

    Unable to open PDF directly if user use Acrobat 8.
    We are facing some problems in our production site. When user click PDF icon, "FileDownload" windows pops up, but it only has "Save" or "Cancel" button, so user needs to download and save the file to open.
    I tested the following scenario using
    We have facing problem with this visions IE 6.0 – Acrobat 8.0 and IE7.0 – Acrobat 8.0.
    Mozilla 2.0 – acrobat 8.0 working fine. The pdf contents are embedding fine the browser window
    Does anyone have any experience with something of this nature?

    I must have missed the announcement - when did these forums change from Java language to IE/Adobe/Mozilla forums?

    Could you see whether Firefox will start in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    Here's how:
    With Firefox closed, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox.
    A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Does that work?

  • Acrobat 10 Pro vs Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Fellow Forum Members,
    Has Adobe dropped the Typewriter tool that Acrobat 9 had?  Also Acrobat 9 Pro Extended had an app called Presenter. Has this also been dropped?  Can anyone out there post a list of what features have been dropped from Acrobat 10 Pro that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended use to have.
    The biggest difference I see is in the file size between the two apps.  Acrobat 10 is close to 460 MB while Acrobat 9 as I remember was close to 1 GB. Does this difference in filesize mean that Acrobat 10 is missing a lot of the features version 9 had?  Evenmore, the GUI for Acrobat 10 looks very bare compared to version 9.  Has Acrobat 10 gone through some reverse evolution ?
    Any info will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Can anyone out there post a list of what features have been dropped from Acrobat 10 Pro that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended use to have.
    The headline differences are as follows...
    Items omitted from Acrobat X which where in one or more editions of Acrobat 9:
    1) Ability to import and transcode video/audio files other than MP3, Flash Video and H.264 (now handled by Adobe Media Encoder in Acrobat X Suite).
    2) Ability to import and transcode 3D model files other than U3D and PRC (now handled by the Tetra4D Converter application, sold separately).
    3) Ability to embed legacy rich media annotations (removed for security reasons - legacy media will play but cannot be created).
    4) Ability to import and register geospatial images and maps (now handled by export tools within native GIS software).
    5) Organizer and the History tree (users should use external fie management and browsing tools such as Adobe Bridge, etc).
    6) Support for Highlight File Format (functionality is no longer available).
    7) ADBC (users should convert to using XFA or SOAP).
    8) Headless import of InDesign files (now handled by the Export utility in InDesign itself).
    There are lots of tweaks under the surface to make the installer footprint smaller. Losing some of the above features make a big difference (geospatial and 3D support took a lot of space), and despite being smaller than Acrobat 9, Acrobat X includes many new features too - such as support for Office 2010, export to spreadsheet, intelligent scan and OCR, etc. It's certainly true that it's not possible to replicate the entire functionality of Pro Extended, but as many users only needed a fraction of the tools, splitting off the specialist stuff makes commercial sense too - Acrobat X Pro is significantly cheaper than Pro Extended, even if you factor in the cost of a couple of commercial plugins. For example many users who were using Pro Extended for video work also had a copy of Creative Suite, Vegas, etc., so they already had the ability to generate the correct video files - duplicating chunks of the conversion code in Pro Extended didn't make sense, and with full H.264 support in Acrobat X we can import files from most prosumer sources (camcorders, cellphones, etc) without any conversion at all.

  • Acrobat 9 (Pro) and Acrobat X(10) in the same machine?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to install both Acrobat 9 and X (10) in the same machine?
    I have 32-bit XP machine as well as Acrobat 9 licensed version installed in it. I would like to know if I install Acrobat X (10)'s Trial version from the internet, what would happen to my licensed version 9?
    Thanks in Advance!

    Adobe does not support installation of two different copies of Acrobat on the same machine.

  • Path(s) for upgrading a Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro in terms of licensing?

    Hi all,
    I have been asked to get details of upgrading our Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro, but I am not sure about the licensing.
    Can a license from Acrobat 9 Pro be upgraded to XI or it have to be a new purchase?
    Thanks in advance.
    Patrick.

    Yes, an upgrade path is available from Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro (but not any older version). You can purchase this in the online store.
    You must make sure you have the serial number of Acrobat 9 Pro for insalling AND YOU NEED TO KEEP IT as it will be needed forever for reinstalling.

  • Cant upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro extended

    Hello everyone,
    I purchased the upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, but get an error when I try to install.  The error says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.  Setup will now terminate.".  How is it that Acrobat pro is "more functional" then pro extended.  I bought the upgrade because I need the 3d capabilities of extended pro.  How do I work around this issue?

    Oops.  I just read that I need to uninstall acrobat 9 first.  I now have a new issue.  Acrobat extended installed fine, but now it is doing an upgrade check.  It is asking for the serial number for the acrobat 9 pro.  My old version was part of the Creative suite 4.  When I enter the serial number from the creative suite it comes back as an invalid number.  Why is this?

  • Should we upgrade from Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro?

    One of our team member who is in charge of creating the pdf form is leaving. Currently he is using Acrobat X Pro, and we are thinking to move forward with Acrobat XI Pro. Are there any features that avaialble in the Acrobat X Pro are no longer available in the Acrobat XI Pro? Are there any glaring things that we need to watch out before moving from Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro?

    Acrobat 11 has a number of new features that will appeal to people who work with forms. You can now turn off the automatic reordering of the tab order when fields are moved/added/edited, and you can select multiple fields at once when changing the tab order. I think it's worth the upgrade price for these features alone.
    Note that LiveCycle Designer, which previously came with Acrobat Pro, is no longer included, and it is actually uninstalled from your system when you install Acrobat 11. You are supposed to be able to get a free update of Designer by submitting a form.
    There are also a number of new keyboard shortcuts when in form editing mode that are helpful, including:
    Form Editing keyboard accelerators
    P
    Toggle between editing & previewing form
    L

  • Acrobat X Pro vs. Reader XI.  Getting Pro to open as default?

    Anyone help me with this.  Reader XI has become my default and I prefer using Acrobat X Pro.  Is there a setting to change X Pro back to my default?  Thanks!

    If you're using Windows 7, you can right click on a PDF file, then > Open with > Choose default program...   It should show both "Adobe Acrobat" and "Adobe Reader", click on "Adobe Acrobat".
    For Windows XP, right click on a PDF file, then > Open With > Choose Program ...  Click the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", the select "Adobe Acrobat" from the program list and click "OK".
