UPGRADE REQUEST ACROBAT X1 standard 10.1.6 to 11.x

A week ago I just bought a new laptop with Acrobat X1 Standard 10.1.6 installed (OEM). I'd like to upgrade to 11.x. How can this be done? The laptop came with the 10.1.6 version pre-installed and the install CD was not included, just the "certificate" with the serial number. Where can I download the installation file to be used with ythis serial #?
Thanks in advance!

  • Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?

    Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?

    As I indicated, the store gives an upgrade from Std to Pro, though I think the price is not appropriate. If you go to the basic page for Acrobat, they are no pushing the subscription version. If you do to the buying guide you get the regular version option (http://www.adobe.com/content/dotcom/en/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html). The upgrade is $199, which I think is crazy. Something like $70 is more appropriate, the difference in cost between Std and Pro upgrades, or at least $150 for the difference of the full products. If the Std had been an upgrade, the cost of a full upgrade is not reasonable. Anyway, a screen capture of the cost is below:
    So apparently the guys on the chat have no clue what they are talking about. However, that does not surprise me. What bothers me is some of the unreasonable pricing as I see it in the store.

  • Installing upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat Xi Pro

    I am trying to install an upgrade from Acrobat 11 Standard to Acrobat 11 Pro.  I have purchased and upgrade license.  When I try to install the Pro upgrade, I get a message that a product with higher functions is already installed and it terminates the install.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I would recommend you uninstall Std, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over Acrobat folder parts (in Program Files>Adobe), reboot, and install. You will likely have to give the S/N for Std as the qualifying product for XI Pro.

  • Upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard from X Pro

    I'd like to upgrade to Acrobat XI.  I currently  have X Pro, when I attempt to purchase from Adobe site, it prompts me to enter my current version, but only lists 9 and X Standard.  Can I use the upgrade option to go from X Pro to XI Standard?

    Hi SeanAccent,
    You cannot upgrade from Acrobat Pro to Standard version. I would suggest to contact Adobe Customer Service team and ask for upsell and they should be able to assist you.
    Hope that helps

  • Can't install upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat XI Pro

    I have Acrobat XI Standard installed on a new Dell Windows 7 PC. I just purchased an upgrade to Acobat XI Pro. I paid $199 and successfully downloaded the installation file from www.adobe.com.
    When I try to install the package, the installation proceeds through a few standard screens (e.g., the Welcome screen), and then I receive a setup error:
         "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
    Clearly, Acrobat XI Standard is not a more functional product than Acrobat XI Pro. How do I get around this error so that I can install the upgrade?

    Hey habilock,
    The reason why you are getting this error is that you are attempting to install Acrobat XI pro over XI standard, but you cannot install the same version of Pro over Standard.
    If they are different versions (like Acrobat Pro XI over Acrobat X), then it would work.
    You can also check the following link that clearly specifies that there is no such upgrade option of Acrobat XI over Standard:
    Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
    For more details on the same, you can refer another forum link discussing the same issue:
    setup has detected you already have a more functional product installed....
    Hope that helps.

  • Cannot install upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to XI Pro

    I have uninstalled Standard, downloaded upgrade per Tech help, and when I click on .exe file it brings up a pop-up for Standard Installation. Any help?

    Are you running Windows? It's possible that some of the files part of the previously installed Acrobat XI Standard have been left behind on your system, causing this issue.
    Adobe has made a tool available that helps you cleanup failed or partial uninstalled of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat versions – it's for standalone installs.  Hopefully running this tool on your system prior to trying to run the Acrobat XI Pro install
    The tool is available from Adobe Labs: Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool
    If this doesn't work, let us know some more details:
    What operating system are you running? (Win 7, Win 8, Mac OS X 10.10.x etc).
    Provide screenshots if possible with error messages you might see.
    and any other information that might help us help you.

  • Upgrade Adobe Acrobat XI Standard auf Pro?

    Kann man Adobe Acrobat XI Standard auf Pro upgraden?

    Hallo, danke für die Info. Dies habe ich bereits gesehen. Allerdings steht dort nur, das ein Upgrade v. Acrobat X auf XI Pro möglich ist. Die XI Std. auf XI Pro ist nicht aufgeführt, daher meine Frage.

  • Acrobat 6 upgrade to acrobat 9 standard

    how can i install acrobat 6 then upgrade it to 9. because i got a new computer and i want to install them again 9 again but i only have the upgrade version please help.

    You should only need the serial number from version 6 if you only intend to install and use version 9.  When you go to activate 9 it will ask for a qualifying version in which case you would select version 6 from a list and specify its serial number.

  • How to upgrade from Acrobat 9 Standard to Pro Extended?

    Can it be done in one step? It looks like I have to upgrade from Standard to Pro, and then from Pro to Pro Extended. Seems like a pain, but it does look like it costs $300 less than buying a full version of Pro Extended.
    If this is what I have to do, do I have to actually download and install Pro, and then download and install Pro Extended on top of that?

    Call the Adobe store for pricing: 800-585-0774. It is not available from the web.

  • Upgrade from Acrobat 9 Standard to Acrobat XI Pro

    I need an Upgrade-Path for an offline Installation for Acrobat XI Professional.
    Due to security reasons the virtual machine on which acrobat is installed is NOT CONNECTED to the internet in any way.
    So there is no online licensing, no online anything.
    I need an installation path from you and an advice, which version to order, so we can install on a NON ONLINE partition of the PC.
    Again and just to make this sure: There is NO WAY for a internet connection from the vmware-partition on the notebook. There is a special secured vmware partition only for exchange with the web but all other parts must remain secured and closed...
    Plz help

    The install files can be downloaded or the CD purchased and taken to the machine. However, you are asking a connection and activation question that is not common to most of us users. It needs to be directed directly to Adobe. I would suggest calling the Adobe Sales folks and hopefully you will get someone that knows what (s)he is talking about.
    Sorry I can't be of more help. The usual product has to be activated over the internet and that is not acceptable in your case. I don't know of a work around.

  • Have Acrobat 9 Standard License, but cannot re-install to upgrade to XI

    Hello.
    I have Acrobat 9 Standard, but have switched hardware to a device that does not have a CD/DVD drive.  I want to reinstall so I can update to Acrobat XI.
    The problem is that when I looked at the purchase flow to do that, the file is an "upgrade" file, not the full version of Acrobat XI.  The old Acrobat download page here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html only has the Pro versions which my license key is not valid.
    All other avenues I tried to get a 9 Standard download have failed, so I'm hoping there is a work around to be able to use my license key from 9 Standard and get whatever I need from there. I've searched through these forums but am not finding anything definitive.  Anyone?
    Thanks.

    It's an absurd thing to sell computers without CD/DVD drives, don't you think? It's a weird idea that comes from the US where many people have fabulous broadband, and moving gigabytes to the web to back it up is no issue at all. In my part of the world it's a sick joke. I believe a plug-in CD/DVD drive is an absolute must.
    Not least because you'll want to back up Acrobat XI download on to a CD/DVD. If you don't, and in a couple of years Adobe don't offer it any longer, then that's the money down the drain - many times the cost of a drive.
    Happily to solve this problem you don't meed to get Acrobat 9 Standard installed. You can indeed put in the license key when asked for it (it will ask for "qualifying product"). You can choose to upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard or Acrobat XI Pro, I think but be very sure to choose Acrobat Standard as your qualifying software.

  • Help? Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard - just purchased for windows 7 now I can't open pdf files or attach?

    Help!!!
    I just puchased the latest Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
    I put in the Serial Key number but my computer tells me that a qualifying product could not be found on my computer so I can't use the adobe product. So now I can't open any files or attach pdf files onto emails without this message coming up. I've un-installed the "Adobe Acrobat XI Standard twice! with no luck.
    I need it sorted ASAP as I'm trying to work! Any suggestions?

    DotBellaParis if you are being asked for a qualifying product then it would appear you purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard.  You should have the opportunity to enter the serial number for your previous purchase of Acrobat.  You can find information on how to locate your previous serial numbers at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.
    If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade then I would recommend submitting a return request.  You can find more details on submitting a return at Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-or-change-order.html.  Once you have returned the upgrade you can then purchase the full version which will not ask you for a qualifying product or serial number.

  • Install Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from Acrobat 9 Standard

    I attempted to do an upgrade from Acrobat 9 Standard to Pro Extended having purchased the software from a sales rep who said I could do this as did technical support.
    My system is XP Pro/SP2 32-bit.
    During the install I ran into this problem. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401731.html. Being stupid I continued on
    instead of stopping. Once I got to the section that I am asked to input the Pro Extended serial number and then my STandard serial number I ran into further problems. The dropp down menu asked for which current version of Acrobat, which of course for me was 9 Standard.
    The problem was the drop down menu has no option for Standar only Professional.
    Since the sales rep had told me I could upgrade I hadn't read the label on the Extended Pro box, which says it's only an upgrade for Professional If I had called in at that time I would have resolved that issue, but not the missing DLL.
    I then found out I couldn't uninstall the mess so I did another stupid thing and did a system restore, which just compounded the problem. To make a longer story shorter I downloaded MS Windows Cleanup Utility and removed  Acrobat.com and Acrobat 9 STandard. I then downloaded WinCS4Cleanupscript and unzipped and ran it. So far so good.
    Then I was advised to install Pro Extended as a trial and customer support would take care of the license issue. Ok, again so far so good.
    I then attemped to install Pro Extended as trial and ran into a printer problem similar to what I had
    encountered before, but not exactly the same.
    "Setup can not copy file PSCRPTFE.NTF" and issues about printers not being Windows logo compliant I believe it was.
    (I have a new wireless Brother HL-2170W laser and Canon MP830 inkjet and just updated the driver and firmware...maybe that will load the missing driver)
    A this point the installation was terminated and I was advised to follow Adobe TechNote KB403613. The only item that I could possiblity help with this printer problem is the Hotfix kb-930627, but this is for a 64-bit system not 32? Do I download or not?
    I also just found out that I still have some vestige of Pro Extended on my system though the MS Cleanup Utility doesn't list anything. Do I run WinCS4Cleanupscript again?
    a) How do I fix the PSCRPTFE.NTF issue with my printer(s)
    b) Do I download a 64-bit hotfix kb-930627to my 32-bit system...and will that solve the printer problem?
    c) Do I just ignore what's left of Pro Extended on my system or run Winc cs4Cleanupscript again. I can't run it directly from all programs, but if I click
    on Acrobat 9 Standard under start it opens up or at least that's how it's identified.
    d) Anything else?

    I might as well update my own question:
    I followed the instructions given in the Adobe TechNote kb403613 after running WINCS4Cleanupscript.
    However, I did NOT download the hotfix as that's for a 64-bit system. The phrasing of the hotfix wasn't very
    clear to me, but I don't think when it stated XP Home or Professional meant a 32-bit system rather only 64-bit.
    If anyone knows better let me know. I checked out that specific hotfix and said was for 64-bit OS.
    1) Created a new user account with Admin rights
    2)  I did the "intermediate troubleshooting" listed in kb403613 and found a few files to delete and I also ran the disk defragmenter.
    Might as well catch any problems up front instead of waiting.
    3) There were several directories on the DVD but only copied Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to my desktop in the new user account.
    4) Ran msconfig and disabled all programs under the start up tab. Once you click OK a small window pops up
    and you press restart. Remember to write down any programs listed in startup that are not enabled so you
    can deselect those when you enable the startup menu again.
    5) On restart and booting up press F8 to get the start up options and select VGA mode.
    7) Once you in Windows log back into the account you created to just install Acrobat
    8) Open Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on your desk top and run the installer
    Desktop>Acrobat 9 Pro Extended>Acrobat9>Acro3D
    9) Run the install. In my case I selected trial version.
    10) I still ran into a problem with Windows Logo compatiblity issues with  my printers.
    I could either continue or stop the installation, which I did to attempt to determine just what's
    causing that problem.
    11) there was some auto backout of files, but I still had to run MS Cleanup Utility again and remove Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
    Also ran WINCS4Cleanupscript though nothing there.
    12) I then did a restart and booted into normal Windows mode from VGA mode.
    13) Logged into my account and ran msconfig to enabled my startup menu and then deselected the ones I didn't want.
    OK, I am back to square one. I checked the Windows Logo Product List and found my Brother HL-2170W is
    XP, VISTA and W7 Windows Logo certified.
    I checked my other printer a Canon Pixma MP830...well not so good. It's logo certified under Vista and W7, but not XP.
    I had downloaded the lastest driver and firmware, but that didn't seem to help. I did email Canon. Now these printers had
    no problems when I was running under Acrobat 9 Standard.
    Right now my only option appears to be to just run the install and continue on when I get to the printer issue. Still don't know what
    will happen when I get to the serial numbers. I am suppose to call support and they will fix activation. So I am told...

  • Substituting Fonts in Acrobat 9 Standard

    I should start by pinting out that I am not a graphic artist, computer "geek" or polymath.  I am a electrical technician who uses Acrobat to edit text in .pdfs sent from other companies and to convert Word documents and spreadsheets to .pdfs.  So please be gentle with your responses!
    Until I was forcibly upgraded to Win7-64 I happily used Acrobat 7.  Finding that this no longer worked I upgraded to Acrobat 9 Standard.  Ever since I have had a problem with font substitution.  Whenever I try to edit a .pdf (either one I have received or one I created using Acrobat 9) and save the result I get the message that it is "Substituting Font".  The resulting document has numerous gaps which are difficult and time-consuming to correct.  I could almost understand this with documents created on someone else's computer but why does it happen with documents that I have created?
    What can I do to avoid this? (I have 85 documents in which I have to change one character - with the substitution it is taking 15 mins to do each one!)

    I am not 100% sure about updated AA9 and the 64-bit version and so it may do the job. There have typically be problems with the initial releases for 64-bit operation and it may be the updates do the job. I think there is a knowledge base article that deals with this type of compatibility.
    When you create a PDF, you can embed the fonts you use. That is done by the selections in the job settings file. As long as you use something beyond the Smallest File Size (does not embed any fonts), you will likely have the fonts embedded as subsets. It is easy to check the properties of the job settings files under the settings tab of the printer properties (or the Advanced settings in the Acrobat Preferences in WORD). Subset fonts are often a problem for editing, unless you have the font on your machine. You could try turning the subset option off to see if that helps on your own files.
    For those coming in (and your own) you can check the font embedded with ctrl-D (document properties) and selecting the font tab. Embedded and subset fonts should have those statements on each appropriate font. If the statements are not there, then they are not embedded or subset (and yes they have to be embedded to be subset). If the fonts are not embedded, there is an option under preflight to embed fonts.
    In any case, my experience with editing text in Acrobat is it is a lot of work to get things to look nice. A lot of the formatting seems to get messed up easily. If at all possible, it is always better to edit the original document and simply create a new PDF. That may not be an immediate option for you, but if there is a way to move toward that model in the future it would save you many headaches. You might simply check the companies to see if they will send you the originals to process, not the PDF.

  • Acrobat X Standard problem

    One of my users is expereincing
    an issue.
    What she is doing is editing a PDF, changing a serial number on it and saving it.
    Now she uses the same window to make multiple changes and each file saved is saved under a different name.
    Since upgrading to Acrobat X Standard from Acrobat 8 Standard the issue she is having is that once she changes and saves the file the first time(using save as), when she goes to save it again under a different name after making changes Acrobat crashes.
    She is running Windows XP Pro service pack 3, Adobe Standard X patched to version 10.1.0
    I have tried searching the net to see if anyone else is haveing this issue with no sucess, so I'm hoping that someone here has seen this.

    Quit acrobat
    Try throwing away Tha Adobe Fon cache.
    Open Acrobat
    Let it rebuild the font cache
    Then try opening File.
