Updating from Acrobat 6.0.2

I would like to update from Acrobat 6.0.2, and just downloaded Acrobat Pro 9.
I don't seem to be able to access it, and wonder if I have to go numerically through
all the updates that I never did to get to 9? Thanks for your help!

What version of of OSX do you have?
6.0.2 works on up to X.3.9.
Version 9.0 works only on X.4.11 and up.
You don't update to Acrobat 9.
You must Purchase Acrobat 9.
Adobe might give you a discount if you give them your current serial number to verify you own a previous version.

Updated from Acrobat 5 to 7, seems to do far less. Need help.

I just "updated" from Acrobat Standard 5 to 7, but I guess I wasted my money. It doesn't seem to do half of what 5 did! Some upgrade!
Ok, now that I've vented, please tell me there's a way to select objects to delete them. I've tried the "Object Data Tool" and the "Select Object Tool," one of which you'd think would do the trick, but no. I tried clicking on the objects, I tried drawing a box around them, it acts as if there's nothing there. It won't select anything.
v7 apparently doesn't allow you to create or edit forms either, which 5 did! How is going backwards an update???

I have Acrobat Standard 7, not pro. But my v5 was not pro, and it did forms.
It also had no problem working with objects, the way this one seems to.
I've uploaded the file to a place where you can have access to it, it's a publication called the Humor Times:

Thanks for taking a look.

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Problem updating from Acrobat 10.1.10 to 11. Error 1001, and am told to connect to update server. When I activated the installer, message said Install failed, contact manufacturer for assistance, so I am.

I am using a 2011 MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.9.5. Have been using Acrobat 10.1.10, but got a pop-up notice from Adobe today, saying that it had been awhile since last logged on and my software was due for an update. However, after downloading the update Acrobat 11, the updater seems to be unable to FIND the file to update, so it asks me to select the file to update. When I found it, the file icon was grayed out, and wouldn't allow me to select it. Gave me a message for "Error 1001". I'm an experienced Mac user, but not a programmer, so I don't know what that means. When I tried to run the installer from the downloaded file, it stopped, saying "Installation Failed" due to encountering an error—which was NOT named or numbered—and that I should contact the manufacturer for assistance. Which I am ATTEMPTING to do, but it appears to be impossible to actually get direct help.
Suggestions, or better yet, direct answers, would be appreciated.

Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks!

Can't update from Acrobat 9.3.0 to 9.3.2

I installed Acrobat 9.3.0 from my Adobe Creative Suite CS5 disk set and now I need help updating to 9.3.2, the most recent version. I've pasted the error messages and what I tried below. I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me what I need to do differently.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4 on an Intel Xeon Mac Pro.
I got an error message that says the update could not be applied:
I uninstalled Acrobat, then reinstalled it, immediately ran the updater again, and got the same message.
I tried downloading the updater for 9.3.1, thinking I needed to apply incremental updates separately, but on running it I got a similar error message saying the update failed:

After you install, Acrobat Pro (9.3.0) in CS5, do a "Help > Check for Updates". The Adobe Updater software will automatically download and install patches and take you from 9.3.0 to 9.3.3 in one go. You will be asked your admin credentials to be able to complete a successfull install

Update from Acrobat 9.3.2 Std to 9.3.3 fails

I have had Acrobat 9.3.2 (Standard) on my laptop at work for over a year now. I can no longer update to new versions. When I try and do updates as a local admin (only an admin on MY laptop) from the Help menu, or download the 9.3.3 update individually, I get the error below. Local work IT says "it ain't us, nothing has changed policy wise". They suggested re-installing the program then do the patch update to 9.3.3; I did a "reinstall" which did successfully reinstall the 9.3.2 version, but I still get the error message below when trying to get to 9.3.3.
Any idea WHAT causes this error below (can a registry change relax what Acrobat is complaining about)? I looked in the registry to see if there was anything obvious (there wasn't), so I am uncertain how to get the new update installed. My IT department is demanding I update my Flash and Acrobat to latest versions due to security problems... I have to figure out how to do this or uninstall and stop using Acrobat. Flash updated ok to the latest version (10.1.53 as I recall), but Acrobat is refusing to update. Ugh. Any help would be appreciated.
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa10-01.html

Make sure that registry values below are not set to 1:
"DisablePatch" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
"DisableLUAPatching" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Good luck

Activate Acrobat X Pro Update from Acrobat 8 Standard Update

When I try to install the Acrobat 10 Pro Update software that I purchased directly from Adobe, a window opens that demands entry of the Adobe 8 code but does not list Acrobat 8 Standard as one of the possible choices.
When I purchased the upgrade the Adobe web site said" consider an upgrade to Acrobat X Pro if you have Acrobat 9, 8, or 7 Standard."
I not only considered the upgrade, I purchased it for USD 199. How do I install?
This is very unpleasant because in order to try and install Acrobat 10 Pro, I am asked to uninstall Acrobat 8. Then when I get to the final installation step, I am not allowed to continue and am left with nothing!!! Since Adobe 8 was an upgrade to Acrobat 6, the reinstallation process is lengthy.

Redwood X I would recommend contacting our support team. They can easily verify your serial number is valid. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

11-06-11 Cannot open pdf file on web in firefox after update from Acrobat today

Adobe Acrobat had an update that I installed today. Later, when attempting to open a pdf form from a website, firefox does not open the file. I verified the settings in Firefox options and it is selected to open pdf in Firefox but it doesn't work. I am on a Windows XP system with 32bit.

Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
"We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01). This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

Adobe Updater overloads data line while updating from Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 to 8.1.3

Hello
I'm from germany but I'm doing my best to get you understanding me.
I'm experiencing some problems updating Adobe Reader from version 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 in our company. Our users have no administrative rights on their PCs and therefore are not able to install any update manually. That's why I want to use the Adobe Updater.
We're also using a proxy which doesn't allow our users to download any *.exe files. I configured Adobe Updater to search for Adobe Reader updates once a month.
But then from time to time our data line was fully overloaded. When I checked the logfiles of our proxy I mentioned that Adobe Updater tried to reach ardownload.adobe.com for more than 1500 times in only 3 hours from only 1 PC. This means that nearly every 7 seconds ardownload.adobe.com has been contacted by one PC. When I deactivated Adobe Updater the problem was solved. So it seems to me, that Adobe Updater is the reason why our data line get's more and more loaded by this update function.
What is happing during the discovery of available updates and wherefore does Adobe Updater tries to download the same file for more than 1500 times? Does anyone have an answer to this? If you have any proposal to solve this problem I would be glad if you answer me. And let me add that I don't want to grant our users access for downloading .exe files :-)
Thanks so much
Macke

The latest release of the Adobe Updater has fixes for networking with proxy servers. If you aren't running the latest (because it can't connect), you can manually download and then install the Adobe Updater for Reader & Acrobat 8 from the URLs below.

Problem updating from Acrobat X Standard to Pro

I upgraded from the Acrobat Standard X to the Pro, and this is what I did. First I deactivate the Standard and then uninstalled it. Next I installed the Pro, linked the serial numbers as prompted, and then tried to run the program. What I have is the Standard all over again only it says Pro. I have to have the preflight feature in my line of work. On this version, there is no Advance pull down window across the top or a document or forms tab. I am familiar with Pro 9, but X is not at all like the old Pro 9 I have used for years. What went wrong?

Never mind. I found it by hunt and peck. I like Pro 9 better. It was straight forward. This is not.

Unable to update from Acrobat 8.0.0 to 8.1.2?

Update appears to proceed, then get a message that the computer is already updated to 8.1.0. The About Acrobat window shows version as 8.0.0.
I used Acrobat Help > Check for Updates. Downloaded and installed what was there. Also tried downloading and installing just the Acrobat portion. Same results.
Computer is a Dual-Core Intel Xeon running OSX 10.4.11.
Do I need to do an incremental update rather than in one jump.
David W Peck

Yes, it is necessary to do incremental updates for Acro8.

When I try to update from Acrobat 2.1.0.0 to 2.3.0.0, why do I keep getting error # 16820 ?

When I try to update Acrobat 2.1.0.0 to 2.3.0.0 , why do I keep getting download failure, error #16820 ?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Update from Acrobat 8

I spent a few hundred on Acrobat 8 Professional and I want to upgrade but there's no upgrade to XI. I refuse to spend another $300+ dollars all over again for the same software that once offered upgrades for only $130.
Will Adobe ever give a special upgrade offer to A8 owners? If it were available, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Hi Willco788 ,
Thank you for posting on the forums, we have Acrobat 11 available as a subscription. Please, try the link mentioned below.

Update to Acrobat 9.5.1 breaks Flash functionality for reading archived emails

On installing update 9.5.1 to Acrobat Pro on WinXP, I can no longer read the index of previously archived email collections created using the Email to PDF macro in Outlook 2007.
The PDF data file indices were readable before, and are still readable in Acrobat X Reader. Hence the data file content seems to be correct.
I get the error message as below and then on Cancel (as the download page does not work) I can only see the first email in the collection as a two pgae PDF, which is limited to say the least.
Please advise how I should restore the functionality I had prior to this upgrade.

Yes, as I said in my original post.the link to the download page did not work. Also as Acrobat X Reader worked (on the same computer), then the required Flash software was already somewhere on my computer
However, this issue has now been resolved by applying the recent update from Acrobat Pro v.9.5.1 to v.9.5.2, reopening the PDF portfolio and following the link in the new dialog box that appeared, to go to the correct Adobe(R) webpage to download and install the Flash Software update. This latest webpage has a date of this month (August 2012).
As of v.9.5.2 this problem is solved.
