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...

I would like to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have an existing Formcentral Plus account. If I upgrade to the PRO account will my Formcentral Plus account be linked to the upgraded Acrobat Pro account?

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.

Purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Student edition from Best Buy and it will not download

Purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Student edition from Best Buy and it will not download. It made me download an installer and then when I went back to download it from the Best Buy digital library and clicked on "Download," nothing happened

I have done both of those and still no luck. I have tried this download on Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox and its the same story on all of them. I have a Windows, also, if that helps

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac-

Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

One of two things:
1. Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key. If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
2. If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log". Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again

You can try this product for zero days . . .
License this software
I click on License, I am signed in,

I purchased a download copy of Acrobat Pro XI for Mac from a reseller online for $199.00. Now I am suspicious that the reseller is less than trustworthy. Could I purchase a copy from Adobe without losing the $199 that I already spent?

I doubt it. The clue should be the price. Any time you see a copy available for less than from Adobe, I would be suspicious. You can inquire with the Adobe sales folks, but don't expect any credit. At this point, I would suggest just buying AA DC, rather than AA XI.

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.

Acrobat Pro installed as part of CS3 - asks for Admin password at launch

Installed CS3 whilst logged in as Admin, for a Leopard rollout.
All apps in the Suite work except Acrobat Pro, which asks for an Admin password every time it is launched. I have Googled this and tried all suggestions from the simple 'Fix permissions' to editing the ''AcroENUPro80SelfHeal.xml'' and ''RdrENU90SelfHeal.xml''.
Nothing as yet fixes this issue
As a last resort and with no real believe that it will work, I am re installing CS3 again under Admin rights and running every app in the Suite first before adding to the new image. I am sure that when I installed the first time I ran all updates and launched every app in the suite.
Cheers
Phil

Ran all updaters, on 3 Macs. All stil continue to ask for Admin name and password.
Googling around this seems to be an ongoing issue with Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Conversion Error from Word 2007

I do not want to hijack the thread or question raised by another poster a short time ago but I cannot figure out how to correct the below.
Office 2007 fully updated
Vista 32-bit
Acrobat Pro 9.3.4
I have to provide data for someone else to assemble and publish and have been attempting to convert some Word documents nearly full of tables to press quality .pdf. Whenever I try the conversion, Acrobat Pro seems to re-center the tables both horizontally and vertically forcing the misalignment of the rows of data although any repeating headers remain properly placed. I can even see the table shift downward slightly when using the Acrobat conversion macro within Word. It may be adjusting the margins instead of re-centering.
I have tried using the macro within Word 2007, Create PDF within Acrobat Pro and Print to PDF as well as tweaking some of the settings such as lowering resolution and turned off unused settings such as enable fast web view, etc. The glitch also occurs with High Quality Print. Standard used to work but after the update to 9.3.4 that conversion shows the same problem. I even tried saving in Word 97-2003 format with the same results.
The documents in question do have custom page sizes and margins but do not use any abnormal fonts. I have tried changing the margins but the conversion to .pdf still changes the information and/or magins as described above. Row height seems to be correctly maintained.
I realize that a knowledgeable user can export the .pdf back into Word or other program but am trying to make it more difficult for someone to edit information which has always had extremely negative consequences in terms of data organization, layout and even integrity.
There has to be something really silly that I am overlooking.
Thank You

Thanks Bill.
Sorry for the delay, Verizon dumped its DSL +service to Frontier so we had one of the bi-weekly extended outages.
No changes occurred when I changed the default printer to Adobe PDF. All of my printers are new enough so that they can handle the current margins so I do not think that they is a problem there but changing the default as suggested by you and Michael eliminates that as the source.
I had previously been able to convert using the built-in converter in Word but was unsure whether or not the result would be press quality and was unable to find this information in my searches. I retested this and conversion using Word’s built-in converter works without a problem.
The conversion using Combine Miles > Merge Into A Single PDF also works without a problem with the highest quality setting. It took several hours to run but I guess or assume that it was because of the number of tags as this is a quick setting and therefore I could not disable the tagging which is not needed in this case.
I was also able to convert the same file which had been saved from Word 2007 into the 1997-2003 format as described above but the same problem came up when using the Acrobat macro and Create PDF from File. I had even created a modified press quality settings to modify settings like disabling autorotate, Object Level Compression, changed the binding option, lowered resolution, bumping the format up to PDF 1.7, etc., but all produce the same result. I have tried changing the document margins in case the conversion process rounded these but all produce the same artifact/problem except when I use Combine Files or the converter built into Word.

Missing data in Acrobat Pro XI PDF created from Microsoft Word (2010) doc

When I create an "Adobe PDF" from a Microsoft 2010 Word doc that contains mainly images and text boxes, about 50% of the text boxes do not appear in the PDF. Also, some of the images (layered on top of each other) appear in a different order - the one on the bottom moves to the top.
How can I address this problem so that the PDF accurately reflects the Word document?
(I am using Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office 2010)

Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner. Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

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.

How do I use Acrobat Pro via subscription vs from my harddrive?

I subscribed to Acrobat Pro last year and recently got notice that it will automatically renew. I need to use it now, but instead of launching via my subscription, I'm being asked for a serial number for the CS5.5 Master Collection. How can launch the app from my subscription instead of from my harddrive?

Hi jane metcalfe,
I can see that you purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Subscription. In order to use this, you need to download Adobe Acrobat and then install it on your computer and activate it using your Adobe ID and password.
Please use the link below to download Adobe Acrobat:

Acrobat Pro - switching to Mac from PC?

Hi,
You would think this would be a simple question, but I've spent a couple of hours looking, not to mention being "on hold" for an hour with the chat folks, and still haven't found the answer. I paid for Acrobat Pro X in 2012 and have it on my desktop and a laptop. I have just bought a new Mac laptop, and need to install it there. I deactivated the copy on my desktop. But when I tried to install in on the new Mac laptop, I get to the point where I enter a serial number but then get an error message "This serial number is not valid for this product." Does Adobe not permit downloading a product I've already paid for to a different operating system?

The question is fairly simple, but the answer is what you might find hard to deal with. With exception for only a couple of their lesser products, most Adobe licenses are platform specific. Your Windows license will not work for a Mac system. You might be able to install Windows emulation software on the Mac to get the Windows version working, but beyond that there are no other options to get the older Acrobat version working on the Mac. Platform swaps are only supported for the most recent release products, which for Acrobat would be version XI.

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 XI Create PDF from web page will only create first page.

Whether I try from within Acrobat or using the convert button on the Adobe toolbar my PDF cuts off at the bottom of page one and will not create subsequent pages including the rest of the webpage content. I've played with several settings. Any idea why?

I think I might have this problem too. Only difference is I am using Acrobat Standard. I have Acrobat Standard X on another pc and it works fine. An example of a web site page is https://connectonline.asic.gov.au/RegistrySearch/faces/landing/SearchRegisters.jspx?_adf.c trl-state=1766qhwwjv_4 I am in Australia. I hope you have access to this page where ever you are. Towards the bottom of the web page, there is a list of 3 documents. On my other pc, I can convert to pdf the whole page but on this pc, I only get one page.
