Updater issue - Acrobat 8.0 Standard

After re-installing Acrobat 8.0 on a Windows 7 computer, I get the following error message:
"Please note that updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater"
Do you know a way to get the program to update?

Many people sem to have this problem and for most, rebooting does not solve it.
I have this problem, too. I'm on Acrobat 8 and Windows XP.
Usually this works for me:
- deleting the acrotray process (ctrl alt dl, select processes, sort alphabetically, delete acrotray)
- deleting the Flexnet file (_00080000_tsf.data in FLEXNET folder - probably at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet).
Sometimes it doesn't.
When it doesn't, I go into MS-Word, open a random doc and click on the PDF icon on the toolbar (this bypasses the PDF-writing method which uses your printer setup/drivers). Somehow, this works fine and the PDF is created.
I then go to the original doc I wanted to create, in any app, and use the printer (ie 'control p') driver to write the PDF - the method that had originally failed. The PDF then writes no problem. This always fixes it.
If this doesn't work, there are multiple (and some very complex) fixes suggested by Adobe in the Help section online - search for 'Adobe 8 activation error'. Hopefully the above may help.
Hope this helps - but users seem to all have different configurations and different fixes.

How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard

How can I update Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard after installing it on Windows 7? Ive tried a few AcrobatUpd8**_all_incr.msp files but I get an error that the program to upgrade may be missing. I cannot afford to upgrade it to X* when this works for what I need it for which is simply to break up multi page documents created by Quickbooks.

Certainly, the printer driver in Acrobat 8.0 cannot install in Windows 7 64 bit - it wasn't written too. Apparently, though, 8.1 is capable of installing the printer driver.
Unfortunately, Adobe have taken down the page with release notes. But you may need to use the *efg* (English, French, German) versions. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-7.html
After 8.1 there is a "universal" (all language) update.

Update issues with Adobe X Standard

at least 3-4 times per week for the past 3 weeks I receive an icon in my task bar telling me to update. When I attempt to update it fails and says the update has probably installed from another source. A day or two later the same things happen. How do I get off the merry go round?

Try downloading the update of Acrobat X Standard from : http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Select the product from the list and download the update.
Update for Acrobat X Standard are sequential update you can update the Acrobat X Standard by installing the update in sequence as per there date of release.

Updating Acrobat 6.0 Standard without CD

I am trying to install updates to acrobat 6.0 standard, but cannot find the installation disk. It wants the msi file off of that disk in order to install the updates. If I were to put in a disk for 7.0 or 8.0 will it read that msi file and continue installation? Or does it have to be a 6.0 disk? Thanks in advance.

- perform the scan
- use menu Document > Extract Pages...

Acrobat 8.0 Standard Update issues

I had to reinstall Acrobat Standard 8.0. I want to apply updates. I attempted to star witht he first one listed on the update page; was given an error that I do not have an Adobe product installed. I do and the serial number is listed un my account. Help with an update path would be appreciated.

What specific update are you trying to apply. Which operating system are you using Acrobat 8.0 Standard on?

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard Combine Files Format Issue

I have an issue combining multiple PDF files into one. Every week we create a sales deck that is made of up 30 or so files. most of the files are created from a program called Cognos Impromptu using the Cognos PDF Server 5.0.44.0. According to the document properties, it creates a PDF Version: 1.3(Acrobat 4.x). I can not change this conversion setting.
I then convert several word documents and Excel documents into PDF files separately and then combine them all together. These individual files are created using Acrobat Distiller 7.0.5 (Windows) and creates a PDF Version: 1.4(Acrobat 5.x).
The problem happens when I throw one of the files created from Cognos into the mix. It causes the formatting on the PDF files created from word and excel to become "ugly". Random letters just drop off from the report and make it unreadable. Pages created from the cognos reports are always ok. If I try the combine excluding the cognos converted PDF files, it works perfectly.
This happened when we got new computers last week. By some stroke of luck, I was able to fix it on my computer and I don't have the issue any more. However, I am trying to fix it on my coworkers computer and Im not having any luck. Our settings match perfectly in Acrobat, Distiller, and PDF Maker installed in Excel and Word. I don't even know what I did to fix mine.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. We are both running Windows XP and have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard edtion.
Thank you

Bill,
thanks for the reply. I think i got it. When they gave us the new computers, they installed a copy of acrobat without some of the latest updates. update 7.0.5,.7,.8, and .9 were missing from our programs. I also noticed that her create to PDF setting for microsoft office was set to standard but the distiller was using high quality. i think fixing the combination of the two may have fixed it. I am going to try and create a full report and see. I will post back and let you know if the issue is gone.
thanks again.

Can I update my licensed Acrobat 8.0 Standard somehow? If so, please tell me how to do it.

Can I update my licensed Acrobat 8.0 Standard somehow?
If so, please tell me how to do it.
Thank you.

You need at least Acrobat 9 to be eligible for upgrades, so it's a moot point. Simply buy a new license of a current version.

Updates for Acrobat 9 Standard?

I am doing a wipe and reinstall of all my software (just to freshen things up). I have downloaded Acrobat 9 Standard, but the updates page http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows only seems to go back to Acrobat 10. Is there some other page that provides links to product updates for Acrobat 9? Thanks.

Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) and Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard Issue

I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and IE9.
I have had Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard installed on my PC for a while without any problems.
Today, while trying to open some forms on a government website, I received the following message:
I clicked OK to install Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) and restarted my PC to complete the installation.
Once I logged back into my PC, every single icon on my taskbar, start menu, all programs, etc. had been changed to the Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) icon below, and when I clicked on any of them, I received a message that Adobe did not support that file/application.
The only way I was able to resolve this issue was to unistall Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) from my PC and everything went back to normal.
Is there a way to have both Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard and Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) installed on my PC without experiencing the above issue?
Please note that I need to have both programs, but I cannot afford to spend money to upgrade my current version of Adobe Acrobat.

Thanks for your input Michael Kazlow.
However, it appears that contrary to your statement, it is possible to run different versions of Acrobat and Reader at the same time.
I have found this Adobe's article outlining 4 diffent solutions to resolve the issue I was experiencing in my original request on this forum http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86069.html
In my particular case, I was able to resolve my issue by following the first solution in the article.

AW: [Acrobat Installation & Update Issues] AW: [Acrobat Installation & Update Issues] Update von Acrobat 8.0 auf 8.3

hello
I say again that I have acquired the Acrobat 8.0 version honestly. I ordered this version even if a handler is Germany. This handler was registered on the website at Adobe as a handler. If you do not believe me, I'm looking for stuff from my archive. But this time I would like to have then paid by you. Again, it is known that the version 8 Without the update 8.3, constantly has errors. I used to simply confirmed the update button. Today there is no longer this site. You are obliged to provide me with the update. Or give me a free replacement to the next higher version. Please give me a link to a zip file that contains a setup file.
Best Regards
Werner
Hallo
Ich sage nochmals, dass ich die Acrobat 8.0 Version ehrlich erworben habe. Ich habe diese Version auch bei einem Handler ist Deutschland bestellt. Dieser Handler war auch auf der Webseite bei Adobe als Handler registriert. Wenn Sie mir nicht glauben, werde ich die Sachen aus meinem Archiv suchen. Diese Zeit möchte ich aber dann von Ihnen bezahlt haben. Nochmals, es ist bekannt, das die Version 8. Ohne das Update 8.3, ständig Fehler hat. Ich habe früher einfach das Update Button bestätigt. Heute gibt es diese Seite nicht mehr. Sie sind dazu verpflichtet, mir das Update zu liefern. Oder liefern Sie mir kostenlosen Ersatz auf die nächste Höhere Version. Bitte, Sie mir einen Link mit einer Zip-Datei, die eine Setup Datei beinhaltet.
Best Regards

How did you purchase? AA8 has not been available for almost 8 yrs or so. The only current version available from Adobe is 11 and you can not upgrade from 7 to 11, but have to buy the full product.
Updates also require the use of the S/N of the qualifying product (AA7 in your case) to be able to use the newer product. So at this point, it is unclear what you actually have.
