Very old versions of Reader - security exposure

Hi all,
We are working with a new client and discover that their desktops have not been upgraded in years. They have Adobe reader versions going back to 6.0.1 and 7.0. Obviously refresh in order, but just checking re security urgency. With regard to:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-07.html
I assume the flaws apply to these ancient versions as well as to the versions called out in this article: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/38195/info
Any feedback appreciated
Many thanks,
Geraldo

How do I get all pages of a multi-page PDF form to print in old versions of Reader? Reader 11 prints all; Reader 10 skips first page

I'm new to forms creation, so please excuse my ignorance. I've created a 9 page form in InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and exported it as an interactive PDF. With Acrobat 10.1.10 I've checked that there is no security -- everything is allowed. None of the form fields is required. I originally had some required fields but made them not required to see if my printing problem would go away. I enabled the extension that allows versions of Reader before 11 to save data in the form. Page 1 has combo fields, radio buttons, a submit button, and text fields. The rest of the form has radio buttons and text fields. Some of the people who've tried my form say they can print pages 2 through 9 but not page 1. One of them is known to be using Reader 10. I've tried printing my form with Reader 11 on Max OX 10.6.8 and Reader 11 on Windows 8.1 and seen no printing problems. What have I done wrong? Is there something about the submit button on page 1 that makes older versions of Reader not willing to print that page? There's nothing propriety or sensitive on the form so I'll leave it for a while in Dropbox in case someone is willing to inspect it. It's at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87784382/Savable_Local_Show_Report_2.pdf

I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer. The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem. By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1. The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto". I don't know whether other destinations also cause the problem of the page not printing with old versions of Reader.

Is there any way I can still activate Photoshop CS on a new computer. I know it's a very old version, but it's what I have.

You are severely schizophrenic, Benjamin Root.
A few posts ago in this very same thread, you were saying:
"They definitely could use better support! " and "You would think Adobe could afford better support with their profit increasing as it has."
Now you're saying he'd respond:
"And why not? It's cheap and I'm supporting my fellow countrymen. Just look at how our stock values are increasing, since I've taken over!"

Installing Reader 11.0.02 - old version of Reader is not removed

We have a problem while installing Adobe Reader 11.0.02 via Active Directory. Adobe Reader 11.0.02 itself installs correctly but the older version of Adobe Reader (10.1.3) is not uninstalled, although we used the Adobe Customization Wizard and checked the box "Remove all versions of Reader". Even if we try to replace the old msi package with the new msi package via active direcory and say "deinstall it" it wont do that.
We dont want to have installed two versions of Adobe Reader installed at the same time to prevent problems. How can we automatically uninstall it?
Thanks!

Please download the latest Adobe Reader patch from the below mentioned location, it will work with MUI installer.

Corrupt catalog and wanting to upgrade my LR as very old version.

I am on V1.4.1 and wanting to upgrade to the latest LR version. Only recently have I received an error message that the file is corrupt and cannot be backed up. Files are there and have always been backed up, but when I open LR, the files appear as 'missing'. Please help! I have my LR on an external harddrive and wish to upgrade my LR once this problem is fixed.
Thanks

If you already have Firefox 3.0.4 installed, you must have updated the GTK package that came with the Xandros Operating System on the early EeePC's. You should be able to install Firefox 3.6.x, but I doubt if the latest Firefox 4 version will work. <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux <br />
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion/MozillaBuilds
You should visit the EeeUser forum - http://forum.eeeuser.com/ - and ask them what you should do.
I have a EeePC 900 20GB. When I updated to Firefox 3 on the old Xandros OS it was very slow. When I installed Firefox 3.6 is slowed down even more, and I gave up with Xandros. I installed EasyPeasy - http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ - a distro made from Ubuntu. But that may not work for you, if you haven't installed a larger SSD (solid state drive) - AFAIK, the 700 models came with a 2GB or 4GB SSD and EasyPeasy filled my 4GB SSD almost immediately.

Acrobat XI Pro shows that it has downloaded in the CC dropdown but I don't have a folder in my Applications folder and PDF files open to an old version of Reader.

I can't figure out how to open Acrobat XI Pro. It shows that it's downloaded in the CC dropdown but I can't find it anywhere on my machine. I've tried re-downloading it but nothing seems to happen. I've uninstalled all my old Acrobat versions thinking that would solve it but it didn't.

AdamSJarrett please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install Adobe Acrobat XI Professional. In addition I would recommend reviewing Launch CC apps after install - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/launch-creative-cloud-apps.html.

Upgrade from (Very) Old Version Premier?

I suspect this is a stretch -- I have some old video on an old computer with Premier Elements 2.
It works, but its really slow.
Is there a way to upgrade these old files so Premier Elements 12 will read them?
I tried, but it tells me the files (.prel) are not compatible with the latest version.
Thanks,
Tim

We are not talking Fraps and the like where the program installs the proprietary codecs necessary for its workings.
In the Premiere Elements world, you get into problems when you leave your project in the project file format (project.prel). Likewise, most video editing software has a project file format. If you save an unfinished project in Movie Maker, you get a .wlmp file. Most of the project file formats are for sole use within its particular software. Compatibility between the project files has its problems even in "all in the family" software.
But the formats for the import video and the export video should not typically be running into these issues. Consider...
Premiere Elements does change its supported import/export file...ex add to... AVCHD was not announced as supported until Premiere Elements 7. And...subtract from...the .tga file extension that was supported in version 8.0/8.0.1 is no longer supported in version 12.
Curious thing just happened. While I had Premiere Elements 2 opened I decided to refresh my memory on its assets. Its a strictly SD low resolution type version? But is it? I was experimenting with a QuickTime export and decided to change the export settings under the Advanced Button. I typed in 1920 for frame width and 1080 for frame height. The export was a nice looking 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second with a AVCHD video codec. Now how did that happen? If you get a chance, please give that a try and see what you get.
By the way, what type of files did you import into Premiere Elements 2 and what were your favorite export types then?
More later.
Thanks for the follow ups.

Add On..I figured out how I got MediaInfo to readout out avc1 (AVCHD) for my Premiere Elements 2 QuickTime 1920 x 1080 export...under the QuickTime Advanced, I used the H.264 video codec.

HT5654 itunes wont update from very old version

I can't update Itunes from version 4 years old so I can't import my music into new Iphone 5s.
I tried to update through Itunes "HELP icon" then CHECK FOR UPDATES but keeps telling me not able to connect to iTunes server-check internet connection or try again later. Also tried to change in EDIT / PREFERANCES / GENERAL / CHECK FOR UPDATES but did not work.
Please help, thanks

Hey there 808applecider,
It sounds like you are trying to update to the newest version of hte iTunes application but are unable to with the menu bar. This is the first thing I would have tried as well, so I would next use the following article to uninstall iTunes and its associated softwares from the computer and install a fresh up to date copy.

Converting very old version of illustrator

Hi,
I have very large group of ai files that starts with this:
     %!PS-Adobe-3.0
     %%Creator: Adobe Illustrator(TM) 6.0
     %%AI8_CreatorVersion: 8.0.1
     %%For: (a) (@home)
     %%Title: (A1.ai)
     %%CreationDate: (16-04-2000) (14:44)
I think their version is illustrator 3 - not CS3
All I want is to convert them to JPG, the problem is that the program I'm using to convert them doesn't recognize them, though it recognizes regular ai files.
So, Is there a way to convert them to a newer version of AI, and then I use the program to convert to JPG, or maybe directly get them converted to JPG.
Thanks!, and sorry for my English.

You might be able to open it in a current version of AI and then batch convert everything...

How switch-off the message "your plagins are very old" on the top of window ?

How delete (switch-off reminder) the message "your plagins are very old" on the top of window ?

Is there a reason you don't want to update your plugins? Specifically your Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader are VERY old and leaving gaping security holes in your computer. Updating them is fast and easy and will not just remove the message but will leave you more secure.

Will Logic open very old LSO files?

I'm looking to do sequencing again after years away from doing it.
I have a whole load of .lso files from using a very old version of Logic - when it used to be Micro Logic - on PC.
I desperately want to be able to open up this old files if I get an iMac with a version of Logic.
Question is, will the more recent Logic Pro 8 open legacy formats like my old LSO files, or is it likely to be unable to read them?

You can open files from version Logic 5 onwards. Here is a thread about it:

Dreamweaver 2014.1 Live view is showing old version of file

I'm running Window 7 (64-bit) and upgraded from Dreamweaver CC 2014 to 2014.1 a couple days ago. Since I'm using fluid grid design view is not available, so when I view my files in Live view Dreamweaver (DW) is showing very old versions when I edit some files (not all). When I use split view the code is correct, but it doesn't correspond at all to what I'm seeing in Live View. The code window shows the current version of the file and the live view window shows an old version. Any idea? Also, live view in this new version seems to be extremely slow.
Another question is, how can I re-install the old version (CC 2014)? I tried to uninstall and re-install, but the install automatically installs 2014.1 and doesn't give an option. Thus far, I am very unhappy with what I've seen so far in 2014.1 and would really like to back off 2014 to speed things up.
Thanks much

Hi Preran.
I seam to have the same problem on a Mac. Also Live view keeps crashing and linked to Adobe BC.
If the live view crashes then the live view is showing an older version on the CSS file until I do a refresh. Its been driving me Nuts!
Also the CSS file is no longer automatically uploading to Adobe CC...
So I really could do with a solution for me to run on CC 2014.0 Please.
I am a subscriber to CC.
Cheers Jake

Old versions of aqapi.jar and xsu12.jar in 10.2 for Windows

I found out that oc4j in 10.2 for Windows contains old versions (1.2) of aqapi.jar and xsu12.jar in oracle_home\oc4j\rdbms\jlib. It was not a problem but when I tried to implement an AQ servlet that interact with a typed XMLType queue I got the java exception during dequeuing:
java.sql.SQLException: XMLTypeFactory can only work with OPAQUE

The solution is to replace the old versions of these files with new or somehow to remove references to these jars from classpath.

I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer. The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem. By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1. The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto".
