Using SMS to install Acrobat 7 Standard and 7.0.5 - 7.0.8 patches
I am having problems with a package I created to install Acrobat 7 Standard and all it's updates. I this package I have created many programs. The first four programs are used to uninstall the previous version - 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3 and 6.0.4. I used the command lines I got from the PDF document: "Install and remove Acrobat products using the command line (6.x on Windows)". All four programs went through successfully.
The next program in this package is the one that installs Acrobat 7 Standard. I used InstallShield Tuner 7.0 to customize the Acrobat settings when installed. I used the command line for this program that was listed the PDF: "User Document: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 for Microsoft Systems Management Server". This program installed without a problem.
The problem comes when the next program attempts to start. This is the program that installs the 7.0.5 update patch for Acrobat 7.0.0. At this point, this is where the package bombs. I have used the command lines provided in the PDF document: "Install and remove Acrobat products using the command line (7.0 on Windows)". I extracted the files from the .exe file of the patch and copied them to the source directory with all the other installation files for Acrobat 7 Standard.
Not sure what to do at this point. Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me into the right direction!
Glenn,
I do not use any of the Acrobat instructions on deleting previous versions. I wrote a inf file from within MS Installer that removes all the Registry settings that the original installation of Acrobat 5 and 6 create. I also remove any files that remain on the PC. One reboot is needed and then a manual removal of the one or two files that stay in the ActiveX directory and the main Acrobat directory (used by windows until a reboot is performed). I then was successful in creating a package that delivers Acrobat 7 Pro with the updates to 7.05 and 7.08 by chaining them from within the setup ini file. I am now trying the same thing with Acrobat 7 standard but am having several separate issues.
Good luck because I hope one day Adobe/Acrobat are replaced with another OEM that listens to it customers and will not have as big of Chat room as they have with so many open issues and continuous problems with ever release.

Uninstalling and re-installing Acrobat standard
If I uninstall Adobe Acrobat Standard and re-install it using the same serial number will that cause an issue? Do I have to unregister the serial number before unistalling it? It is on a windows 7 OS and it is Acrobat Standard verison X or XI.
Thank youBefore reinstalling, I would first do a repair and then update. AA Xi is currently at 11.0.06. The repair and updates may fix the problem. As I understand it, Chrome does it own think for PDFs and the Adobe plugin does not work with the newer version of Chrome (at least not without the updates). It may be a Chrome issue and the updates might fix some of the issues.
If you do reinstall, be sure to deactivate and then use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html before continuing. Keep in mind that Reader and Acrobat often leave a part running for fast startup. That might be closed in the task list (do not stop AcroTray that is required for the Adobe PDF printer to function correctly). -

Failing to install Acrobat standard 7 on Windows 8.1
I am trying to install Acrobat Standard 7 from a cd onto a new pc with windows 8.1
It gets to the point where it says its installing it but nothing progresses after that.
Is windows 8.1 compatible with this old version of acrobat?
I dont want to buy a newer version as I am retired and only really need to use it occasionally nowHi ProfKVal,
Acrobat Standard 7 has not been tested with Windows 8.1, so it is not compatible.
If you use it only to view PDFs then you can download the Adobe Reader which is a free PDF viewer.

I am trying to re-install Acrobat Standard 9 on a new laptop. I have the correct serial number, but when I try to download from the Adobe website only Acrobat Pro 9 will download and it states my serial number is incorrect. How to resolve?
You can search the forum for where they have indicated use by PM. That is what I would have to do also. The other option is to wait and see if one of them drops by and will give it to you. Probably a long wait.
In the meantime, try Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools. The link is down about 4 screens. -
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 have acrobat standard and it will not allow me to edit.. every file i go to open it says "there is a active file open and must close in acrobat" other times it says account cannot be validated after I have already paid for it.. please advise
Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

Good day,
I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Trying to re-install Acrobat 8 and it's saying I need Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater installed. I have IE 11 installed so not sure why I'm getting that message.
Acrobat 8 needs IE 6.0 not 4.0
1) Try installing using MSI file instead of setup.exe.
2) Enable MSI logging and provide the MSI log. Steps to enable MSI logging can be found here http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/223300
3) What is the version of shdocvw.dll in "C:\Windows\System32" folder and in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" (exists only on a 64 bit machine) folder. -
