Upgrade Acrobat 9 pro vs. new product

In checking various web sites they actually quote the cost of the Acrobat 9  pro full product as substantially less expensive than the full version.   Does anyone know what the disadvanteges would be to go with the full version vs. the upgrade?

Over in the Photoshop forum there is a LONG message thread warning about buying from eBay
Same applies for many/most of the sites that offer prices WAY below the Adobe store
A place like Amazon is OK, but beware of prices that are just too low to be believed

  • Need to transfer Acrobat Pro to new computer, old computer crashed so I can't disable/uninstall.  What do I do?

    Need to transfer Acrobat Pro to new computer, old computer crashed so I can't disable/uninstall.  What do I do?

    Install it on the new machine, if you have run out of Activations then you will probably need to contact Adobe and explain what happened as far as the old computer crash and burning.

    Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
    What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
    Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
    This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

  • Unable to upgrade Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version - 11.0.05.

    Hi,
    I've been using Acrobat Pro XI from last one month. Recently Adobe introduced a patch release of 11.0.05 for Acrobat XI. When I try to install this upgrade, am getting stuck at the following screen:
    Am not able to find this file on my system, with the result I have to cancel the upgrade.
    Please help me get the latest patch installed on my system.
    Thanks.

    The latest is 11.0.06. Normally the updates have to be installed in order, but this one can be installed over the original install (the web site will tell you). When you cannot update from the Help menu, then go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows, download the appropriae updates, and install them. It is a good idea when doing the updates to be logged in as the admin. and have anti-virus disabled.

  • Upgrading Acrobat Pro 8 to 9 (from CS3)

    Hello,
    I need to upgrade from Acrobat Pro 8 to 9, in the hope it resolves some issues I'm having with form design. I got Acrobat Pro 8 bundled with CS3 Design Premium, just wondering does anyone know if I can just purchase the upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9 or do I need to purchase an upgrade to CS4?
    I'm not sure if my version qualifies for an upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9 seeing as I didn't purchase it as a stand alone product, or if getting individual upgrades for part of a suite is generally a bad idea.
    Cheers
    Deb

    Just a suggestion.
    You may want to *not* gobber with the installed suite by trying subtract suite item "Acrobat 8" and installing stand alone "Acrobat 9".
    All to easy to skew the licensing sub-system which can leave you with bigger problems.
    Nor do you want to install Acrobat 9.x while you have Acrobat 8.x installed - basically, they do not play well together.
    Be well...

  • Error when trying to upgrade Acrobat Pro 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 with an AIP

    I am trying to use an AIP to update Acrobat Pro from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2.
    I run msiexec /a AcroPro.msi with the base 10.0 msi on the CD.
    I then cd to the AIP
    I then run msiexec /a AcroPro.msi /p AcrobatUpd1012.msp
    I then use the Customization Wizard to generate a .mst. with serial number, remove shortcuts, etc.
    I then configure a GPO with the .msi at the AIP and apply the .mst in the GPO using computer configuration.
    When test machine reboots GPO attempts to install, but fails with error %%1274 in Windows System event log.

    You need to look at this Adobe KB document;
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html
    Here is the crux of the issue though.
    Acceptable AIP patch patterns for Windows deployments
    Acrobat (Formula = Base release + latest quarterly + latest out of cycle patch)
    Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.2 (Q)
    Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.1 (Q)
    Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.0.1 (Q) > 10.0.3 (OOC)
    Unacceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.1.0 (Q) > 10.1.1 (Q)
    Reader (Formula = last MSI + latest quarterly + latest out of cycle patch)
    Acceptable: 10.1.0 (Q MSI) > 10.1.2 (Q)
    Acceptable: 10.1.0 (Q MSI) > 10.1.1 (Q)
    Acceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.0.1 (Q) > 10.0.3 (OOC)
    Unacceptable: 10.0.0 > 10.0.1 (Q) > 10.0.3 (OOC) > 10.1.0 (Q MSI)
    One more thing.  Don't expect that the new AIP will uninstall the old AIP.  It's best to remove the old AIP with msiexec.exe /x {GUID}  first and then install the new AIP.  You can manage the reboot as you wish with either SCCM or MSI command line switches or properties.

  • I need to reactivate ACROBAT PRO on new hard drive

    I've read all the similar questions and responses from users and ADOBE web responders and determined the agrivating circular nature of the adobe's direction. Why is this so hard and why is ADOBE so unhelpful. This should be so easy. Why agrivate customers and owners of these products ?
    ADOBE, please just provide the contact infomration in your resposne to resolve the issue. Please do not direct me into the infernal loop.
    Thanks

    OK today, five days after this post;
    Lot's of perseverance which included some pretty frustrating wait times and disconnects on the 1800 833-6687 support number over the last couple of days. Today I finally got to speak with an Indian Tech gentleman. He spent 20 minutes on the line with me and was able to reset my activation for both my ADOBE products (PSE 9 and ACROBAT Pro 9). Fantastic help and so cordial and respectful.
    Thanks ADOBE. You could make this easier for customers and I filled out my tech experience feedback survey to let you know that. But your Tech was great !
    CASE CLOSED !

  • Installing acrobat pro to new computer without disk drive

    i recently purchased a new mac that does not have a disc drive.  i'd like to install adobe acrobat from the disk that i purchased with my old computer.  how do i do this?  possible to get a download code to do from online?

    You could copy the contents of that DVD to a Flash drive and then copy those contents from the Flash drive to your desktop of your new Mac. You could also download the ESD (Electronic Service Download ) of your version of Acrobat from the links below and then install it.

  • Upgrading Acrobat Pro 9.0 to 9.4.5

    Hello,
    I was to update our install job of Acrobat from 9.0 to 9.4.5 so I followed the instructions on how to create an AIP and also created a transform. The job worked fine on machines without Acrobat but if I wanted to install it on a computer that already had 9.0 it would come up with an error. In the transform I told it to uninstall previous existing versions but apparently that took no effect while the rest of the settings (suppress registration etc.) would work. I also tried clicking on the updated msi on a test computer with 9.0 installed on it and it would give me the message that Acrobat was already installed and I should uninstall it from the control panel.
    On the other hand, I was able to use the msi that had not been updated to uninstall 9.0 so my current solution is two separate jobs, one that upgrades and one that installs on computers without Acrobat. I am wondering though, if there is a more efficient alternative and also why the updated msi refuses to uninstall an older version. By the way, I have already tried recreating the AIP from scratch to see if there were errors that might have caused this but it was the same result each time.
    Thanks for the help!

    If this is in reference to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308514, the instructions are there. Please follow EVERY STEP, don't skip anything because it seems unnecessary, and if you don't understand, say so. But not here - reply to THAT MESSAGE.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 - new update gave new pop up

    I just updated my pro 9 version with an auto update for today... I now get a pop up window that prompts me when I am closing out of document that gives me three options:
    1)     close this document without removing information
    2)     Remove this information and do not close document
    3)     Remove information and then close document
    Is this referencing the text fields (ex.  if I forgot to clear form as I was testing out what I have created in my fillable form)
          or does it reference my form fields that I have edited ( the 2nd layer - 1st layer being the original form sent to me for converting into fillable pdf) or both?
    I have been choosing 1 to be safe, but was just wondering if anyone else gets this pop up and what 'information" it might be referring to in this new pop up.
    Thanks so much!

    Perfect!   You were right again!  I had forgotten I
    checked that box the other night when I was playing

    put two and two together!

  • Downloading purchased upgrade Acrobat pro

    I need help!  I have never had such a hard time downloading!  I found the order number for my Acrobat X but there is no place to put it!!! I have followed the directions, but the "download column" leads to a page where I can get a free trial or buy the product.  I have tried everything I can think of.  I have been at this for well over a half hour.  This should not have to be this hard.  I am not even far enough to get error messges.  I don't claim to very tech savy, but this is very lame. 

    What exactly have you done so far? Downloadable purchases are listed on your account under My Products, but it may take a while for them to show up until your order has been processed. You will also find your serial number there which you can also use to convert a trial version into the full version. If you have otehr technical issues you need to be more specific and provide info about your system, browser used etc., but you may wanan check this, regardless: Can't download Adobe Store purchase
