URL works within Acrobat Standard and and not within Acrobat Reader...

Hello.
I faced a really strange thing today. I created a report PDF through Xcelsius. In this PDF, I have a Flash button which, when clicked, would link to an Excel (.xls) file within our LAN. The link works within Acrobat Standard 8.0 but not within Acrobat Reader 9.0. I have examined the preferences on both and they are identical (as far as I can see).
Details:
Software used: Xcelsius 2008 SP1
Acrobat Standard 8.0.0
Link address: G:\Management\[sub-directory]\[sub-sub-directory]\[filename].xls
Any help at all will be welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you!

I am trying to open the .xls in Excel through a web browser. There is no scripting to the link, simply a file:\\ address that would pull up the spreadsheet (with macros) in IE 7 and above.
Addendum: I uninstalled my Acrobat Reader 9.0 and installed Reader 8.2 and the link worked! Strange. I do, however, need it to work in 9.0 as there is a mix of Acrobat Reader versions within the hospital.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Pro

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

Acrobat Standard v6 and Reader v8 conflict

I have both Acrobat V6 and Reader v8 installed on my PC. I use the full version to create pdfs, and version 8 is used to open pdfs on web pages. For some reason, I am not able to open Acrobat Standard at all. Instead, version 8 reader opens.
If I browse to the Acrobat standard icon in the programs menu, Reader 8 opens. If I browse to the Acrobat standard exe file in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe", version 8 Reader opens.
If I right click on a pdf document and select Open With... and choose Acrobat Standard 6 from the list, the document opens in Reader version 8.
I can't uninstall version 8 from my PC because I don't have administrator authority. I'm seeking help in the forum because our IT support is terrible.

Open the task list and stop AcroRd??. It is a part of Reader that stays resident. You are finding out why it is not recommended to run both the Reader and Acrobat. If you do, you have to learn how to disable the one you do not want and properly associate the file extension - that is your job in your OS.

I have Creative Cloud and can not use Acrobat XI Pro.

Please come back.

Hi Lynfordd,
As per your account details your CC subscription is active and it should work fine. I also found that your subscription is already activated on 2 machines, so if you are trying to install and activate it on another computer then you need to deactivate it from one of the 2 machines and then try activating it on your 3rd computer.
Please let us know if it helps.

If you purchased a subscription, there is no serial number. Sign in with your Adobe ID to license the software.

Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 and Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

We have numerous seats of Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 in our company. We need another seat and were going to update the new user to Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. Will our files be compatible going both ways between the two different versions? Will 8 be able to view and edit XI and vice versa?

Hi ,
As you are trying to update to Acrobat XI ,it may or may not be compatible with both the versions .It could work fine without causing any difficulties .
In case you face any compatibility or any other issue ,feel free to write us back so that we can assist you with the issue .
Also make sure the OS on which you would install Acrobat XI should be compatible with it .
It generally does not cause any issue ,however if it does ,we are here to help you with that .

Installation for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and Premiere Elements 8

Hey guys,
I was hoping to see if anyone could help me out with this. I recently bought a new laptop, and obviously, I was stuck a few days moving everything from my old one to my new one. So when it came to install the Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 in the new computer, I noticed that the installer here at the Adobe Web Page is not accepting my serial number for that product. And additionally, I don't see the installer for the Premiere Elements 8 and I don't know if the Photoshop Elements 8 installer in the web page is gonna do the same thing like the Acrobat Standard 9. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

Hi DJRicky7,
You can download Premiere Elements 8 from the direct download links available at: Direct Download Links for Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Elements 8 | ProDesignTools
Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
For Acrobat 9 Std. you can click on the link: https://sendnow.acrobat.com/m/g.ashx?i=rol7pInCLAR6FfBXHhVUfA&x=qPtk3SqdJjawgwvDY49b3A

Problem with recent Acrobat Standard subscription and opening up PDF's

After doing a 1-month trial for Adobe XI Pro, I completed online purchase yesterday (11/8/14) for annual subscription for Adobe Standard.
And now I can no longer open or read any PDFs on my computer. A prompt comes up that trial period has ended and I need to subscribe (which I have done). I did not expect this and am very frustrated. Is there a lag time for processing the subscription, or is this something related to updates of older version Adobe? I have Windows Vista.

Hi create shortcut,
Acrobat XI isn't supported on Windows Vista, so that could be what the problem is (see Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro). Although, it sounds like you were using Acrobat Pro XI on Vista, is that correct?
Your subscription is indeed, active. So, you should be able to simply sign in and use Acrobat Standard (but know that Adobe can't support any technical issues that might arise when using it on an unsupported OS).
Best,
Sara

Acrobat Standard 6 and Reader 9: Outlook opens PDF with Standard

Background: We have one PC with Acrobat Standard 6 serving well enough for creating PDF's, but we also have Reader 9 installed on that machine to open certain newer-format PDF's that we download or that are emailed to us.
Issue: Reader 9 opens PDF's on the hard drive and PDF's online via either Internet Explorer or Firefox (so the Windows file type associations seems to be OK), but Outlook Express persists in opening PDF email attachments with Acrobat Standard 6.
Anyone know how to fix this? (I'm fine with making changes to the Registry if that will do it.)
--John Hupp

I'm having a similar problem and am totally frustrated.
I have an old version of acrobat reader 5, but today I downloaded reader 9, but when I click on .pdf files online, I get the same message saying that I need reader 8 or 9 to open files on the web.... which I have!
I went in, after reading this thread, and made sure my 5 had the "display PDF in browser" UNCHECKED, and that it WAS checked in 9... but still no dice. For a few years now I've been unable to just click on and open pdf files online, and have been going a long route around by right clicking pdf's, clicking on "save target as", saving the files to my desktop, then opening reader 5 and going to file, open, and opening the file. What a huge pain in the butt though... all I want to do is be able to click pdf files and open them in my browser!!
Oh, and another bizarre thing that has happened is that since installing reader 9, all the icons on every pdf file on my computer has changed to the icon windows uses for files of an unknown type. Can't figure out why since when I double click any of these files, they open right up in reader 9.
I'm beyond irritated with trying to figure this out, so I'm open to any suggestions anyone has!

Acrobat standard 8 and Adobe Reader X

Good afternoon all,
I am having an issue with users who are using Adobe Reader X who want to digitally sign PDF's. From researching this I found that I have enable the Reader usage rights on the document which can be done from Acrobat. All the forums I have read on this are using Acrobat Pro rather than Standard 8 which I have. When I go to the advanced options to enable these usage rights the option is not there. I am wondering if I am missing something or if this feature is not included in standard. If the option is there does anyone know the steps toe nable this so I may sign the PDF's from the users machines which have Adobe Reader X. Any help would be much appreaciated.
Thanks!

So Acrobat Standard does not allow you to do this?

Acrobat Standard updated and now automatically starts every time computer reboots.

Adobe insisted that I update my program yesterday, so I did. But now each time I reboot my computer, Acrobat starts automatically and freezes the entire PC up. I have tried to contact Adobe support but they won't help with anything on Acrobat 7. Can someone please help me get this to stop starting by itself?

Sounds like you added Acrobat to your Startup by accident. Remove it from the list and you should be good.

Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6). I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form." What's wrong? (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now). It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document). Please, someone, anyone, help! I think I got a bad batch of software here. Any suggestions? If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case? Is this software under warranty?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your email. The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file. It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time. I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file. I tried to repairing the software but it does not help. Any other suggestions? Is this version of software defective? I really need this feature. I look forward to your reply. Thanks.

PDF prints from Acrobat 8 Pro, but not from Acrobat 9 Pro

I have a PDF that prints fine when I print from Acrobat 8 Pro, but when I open the same PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, only portions of each page actually print out.
All systems running Windows XP Pro, SP3
A8P 8.1.2
A9P 9.1.1
Any ideas?

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual
