Which acrobat version?

There is a way to known the version of acrobat that use air.
And if is a reader or the full version?
I need to check if the user have the right version of acrobat
(8.1.3 or 9) that solve a big problem for me.
thanks

Hi,
You can use HTMLLoader.pdfCapability to check if the machine
can render PDF content properly. It will let you know if the
installed reader is too old, if reader is not found and if there is
supported reader, but the reader set to display PDF is too old.
Code:
if(HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK)
trace("PDF content can be displayed");
else
trace("PDF cannot be displayed. Error code:",
HTMLLoader.pdfCapability);

Which Acrobat Version to save/export to?

I'd been trying to research to find out what version Acrobat Reader version people are using.
For example in 2011, according from research from AVAST, the Adobe Reader User Base was:
Versions 3, 4, 5 = 3%
Version 6 = 2%
Version 7 = 6%
Version 8 = 14%
Version 9 = 35%
Version X = 40%.
I would like to find out current statistics. Does anyone have any insight?
Adobe Reader User Base?
Versions?

Since the last version of PDF is PDF 1.7, and this is openable by Acrobat 6 or Reader 6 or later, this isn't much of an issue any more. Setting security is more of an issue.
Frankly, Adobe Reader statistics are no longer interesting, because more people now have non-Adobe Readers. You may not be aware how many. Anyone with
* Chrome
* FireFox
* Macintosh
* Windows 8
* iPad, iPhone
* Android
has a PDF viewer already and may see little reason to get Adobe Reader. Sadly I have never seen a study of what these try to be compatible with.

Which is the correct Registry Path to Get Adobe Acrobat Version?

Hi All
Originally, this post was put on [Acrobat Windows] forum, i am reposting it here, since i didnt get any answer.
I am currently using Adobe Acrobat 9.1.3 Pro in my Win XP - SP3 machine.
I would like to know how can i get the 'CORRECT' version of the installed Adobe Acrobat from the registry.
Under windows Registry, i could find two places
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.App\AcrobatVersion.
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document\AcrobatVersion.
Among these two, the first keys value shows as 8.0 and the latter shows as 9.0. I guess the first one is the correct place to look but it shows as 8.0.
by the way, i have installed it on a fresh clean machine. So is it a bug from Adobe Acrobat ? or is it correct for Adobe Acrobat ( may be in some way).
In that case can i use 'AcroExch.Document' but will it be retained in the future versions also.
thanks in advance

Hi Patrick,
We are using it to query the version of the installed Adobe Acrobat in the machine in which our application is installed. If it doesnt matches our criteria, we ask the user to have the correct version to be installed.
We queried the OLE interface for the Acrobat Version because at a time you are suppose to have one installation of the Adobe Acrobat. And morevoer the OLE reg path is giving the 'Acrobat Version'. For AA8.X both the OLE registry keys were having the same version number i.e 8.0.
Yes, i guessed that the reason for multiple versions under the [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\X.0\Installer] may be for some backward compatibility. Anycase, i have already gone with the HKLM...\X.0\Installer path way.
But why is that the OLE interfaces in the registry shows two different 'Acrobat Version' for the AA9.??
thanks and regards

PDF file error in Acrobat version 9.0

Hi guys,
I am able to see the see PDF document via document viewer tcode - SDV if the local desktop Acrobat version is 7.0 but in other machines which has Acrobat reader 9.0. the document cannot be opened it saves in the desktop as .FAX file.
I am using the SAPGUI version 640 release.
Please let me know the reason.
regards,
Prabhu

Hello Prabhu,
this is a known issue. Please see note 1308147:
The ECL Viewer 6.0 delivered with the SAP GUI 7.10 Compilation 3 has
compatibility issues with Adobe 9 (Adobe Reader 9 or Adobe Professional
9 or Adobe Standard 9). The SAP GUI crashes/freezes when viewing PDF
files in transactions like SNOTE.
The same problem is experienced if the standalone version of the ECL
Viewer 6.0 is used with Adobe 9. But in this case the SAP GUI
crash/freeze happens only if the ECL Viewer 6.0 is used in applications
like SAP Document Mgmt. System to view PDFs first followed by PDF
viewing in transaction like SNOTE
Other terms
ECL Viewer 6.0, Adobe 9, SAP GUI 7.10 C3
Reason and Prerequisites
The ECL Viewer 6.0 supplies Adobe libraries which are not compatible
with the ones supplied with Adobe Reader 9.
The note is applicable to you only if you have installed the SAP GUI
7.10 C3 with the Engineering Client Viewer for SAP GUI 7.10.
Also, If in case you have installed the standalone version of the ECL
Viewer 6.0 and use it in applications which use ECL Viewer within the
SAP GUI
Solution
The Current workaround is to use lower versions of Adobe Reader till
there is further update on this incompatibility.
For more details on work arounds, please refer to the link given below

From where can i download Adobe acrobat version 5.0

Hi All,
I have a requirement which gets resolved only with acrobat version 5.0 (comparing secured PDF documents). I was unable to find the download location of version 5.0. It will be of great help if some one could share me the location of the same.

I have not heard of any download locations for AA 5. There are sites that go back to AA7, but that is about it. All I can suggest is to see if someone in your organization still has the CDs (there may be a few like me that don't throw out much of anything, though I don't think I even have AA 5 anymore).

Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

Dear Adobe Support Team,
I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
Kind Regards,
Vikraman.G

Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

Get the Adobe Acrobat version

Hello,
For my next plugin I need to support Acrobat 8 and 9. The plugin will be installed in the correct installation path (in Adobe 8 or 9) during the installation. But I don't know if it's possible to know the Acrobat version used by the plugin.
Do you know a function which gives the version of Acrobat?
Thanks in advance,

You can find this information also in the Acrobat and PDF Library API Reference. Or did you develop your plug-in without this documentation?

Adobe acrobat version 6.0 incompatible with Windows 7?

I am trying to download Adobe Acrobat 6.0 standard, and I am getting an error message that it is incompatible with my Windows 7 laptop. Is there a way around this, or do I simply need to upgrade to a later version of Adobe Acrobat? If so, which later version(s) do you recommend?

The only version you can buy today is XI (11.0).

Video compatibility with older Acrobat versions

Hi,
I am attempting to send a PDF with an embedding video using Acrobat X Pro.
While it works on my machine, and others with Acrobat 9, the client is struggling to view the video.
I'm guessing they may not have an updated version -
a) How far back does Video support go within Acrobat versions?
b) Can I save a PDF back without losing the video support?
Thanks,

Rich Media Annotations (of the type created by Acrobat X when inserting a video, SWF or 3D file) are supported by Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9 and later on desktop platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). They are not supported by earlier versions, nor on mobile devices.
The ability to create 'legacy' media, which was viewable in earlier desktop versions of Adobe Reader, has been removed from Acrobat X for security reasons.

Which adobe acrobat version is best for creating accessible pdf forms?

Minimum Acrobat version for creating forms clients can download, complete, save

I have a client who is a medical professional who wants to create a set of client intake forms that new patients can download to their desktop, complete and then return in advance of their scheduled appointment. Specifically
1. The form needs to be one that does not require them to complete it all in one session as it is a rather lengthy and extensive form.
As well client has Adobe Acrobat version 7 and from looking at the upgrade page does not appear as if he can upgrade to a version that enables editible forms. Is this true?
So if it is true, I just need to know what version of Acrobat the doctor needs to purchase in order to create his new patient forms.
Thank you
Dan

A note, though this is probably already taken care of: be sure that the user is not invited to EMAIL the form. This would be a serious breach of patient confidentiality and in some countries could lead to legal action and unlimited fines. You MUST use a secure web based system or physical delivery (only likely if the patient is filling the form on a surgery computer).
Also be aware that there are a huge number of non-Adobe PDF readers which do not fill forms correctly, even though the client may think that they have, and even though the client may believe they are using Adobe Reader! You need detailed knowledge of this because patients will need a lot of hand holding.

Adobe Acrobat XI substitutes automatically previous Acrobat versions?

Recently I bought Adobe Creative Cloud, after using years Adobe CS3. Adobe Acrobat XI substitutes automatically previous Acrobat versions?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

How to Install Adobe Acrobat Version 6.0 or later

How do I download adobe acrobat version 6.0 or later?

Basically, the only download for Acrobat that Adobe now provides is for AA XI at the Adobe store. As mentioned, you have left out a lot of information for us to help. It sounds like you will need a new purchase of AA XI (not an upgrade). If you are talking about Reader, that is a totally different product and the link is provided on the www.adobe.com home page.
