Why do I have to pay to create a PDF in Acrobat X Pro when I have owned it for quite awhile?

I have been needing to create a portfolio with my designs and I need numerous files to make one PDF. I know how to do it, but apparently, I have to pay now. I NEVER had to pay a few years ago, and when I actually need this, I have to fork out money when I have already spent it on the software. Is there a solution to for this, or do I have submit and pay for my existing software?

But, if you are still getting the message that you need to pay then
1. Check the app you are running. It probably isn't Acrobat. Could be Adobe Reader.
2. If it's Acrobat please let us see a screen shot (DON'T email it!)

I had been getting prompts to buy Acrobat XI Pro when I have a full Creative Cloud subscription

I had been getting windows popping up when I would open a pdf file in Acrobat that I need to purchase it when I have been paying approximately $54 a month for Creative Cloud! I would just close out the window because I have a Creative Cloud subscription that covers Acrobat. Now I cannot even open a pdf file at all because I got the message that my trial period of Acrobat has run out!!!
How can I fix this??

Hi Chris,
On the trial period screen of Acrobat, please select 'License this software' and use your Adobe ID to license it.
The subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.
Please let me know if it worked for you or not.
Regards,
Ravi

How to create a PDF with Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac?

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 prof which came bundled with ScanSnap.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I have been trying to 'Create pdf from file'.
Adobe won't load an RTF file, a Pages file or a Word file.
It tells me to use the source application and print with Adobe PDF. When I try to do this I get the message
Printer Ready
You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
I have tried software update but Apple has not supplied an update for the Adobe printer.
SO, what software do I need and where do I find it, to make Acrobat usable?

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

I have an iMac. , mid 2007. Frequently, when I take an action, the little color wheel starts spinning and goes on for quite awhile. Save a file, close a file, open a file, open a window, it's all random. Somtimes it stalls, sometimes it doesn't. Why?

Consider adding more memory. Be sure you have adequate free space on the hard drive - 15 GBs or 10% of the drive's capacity, whichever is greater. Do not run too many applications concurrently. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on resolving the SBBOD.
Do some maintenance:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

If you purchase Logic Pro X, you can install it as many times as you want in all your Macs for free, always that your Macs are supported. You only have to pay the first time you download it

How do I create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 in Windows 8 from a Visio drawing on a 64-bit system

I used to be able to create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 from a Visio drawing in XP. Now I'm running a 64-bit system, no Adobe printer can be installed, and it is unsupported. Help?

On a 32-bit system, there is a workaround. I do not think it is possible to get AA7 to work on a 64-bit system (no one has reported success and only 1 has suggested success with AA8). You may be able to print to a PS file and then open that in Distiller. I suspect that is the only way and you will have to find a decent PS printer driver to do it. I suspect the printer driver (and associated AcroTray) will not work in a 64-bit Win8 -- Acrobat and Distiller may.

Do you know what PDF viewer those users were using? Do you have any more details about what happens when they attempt to save?

How do i create searchable pdfs on acrobat 9

how do i create searchable pdfs on acrobat Pro 9?

Master your content in a text editor (Notepad), a word processor (Word), a page layout application (InDesign) or some application that you do a "File | Print" with. Print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer that is installed with the install of Acrobat (any version). You'll have a seachable PDF. If a PDF has page content that is the image of text (the output of a scanner) use Acrobat's OCR feature to obtain searchable content.
Be well...

How to have measurement tools in a 3D pdf in acrobat reader ?

hello,
I have the trial version of acrobat 9 pro extended
I work with 3D content in pdf file
I try to use measurement tool in adobe reader 9 but is not activated.
When I create my pdf 3D file in acrobat 9 pro extanded, I have the measurement tool but not with adobe reader with the same pdf file
I find nothing in help file
could you help me ?
regards

You can extend some of the PDF capabilites, such as 3D Measurement and Commenting, by using one of the following methods:
With the PDF open, go to Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader...
-or-
With the PDF open, go to Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader...
Either one of these will make the PDF behave the way you want it to. I'm not sure exactly what the differences are, but my impression is that the latter gives the Reader user a few more priveleges. I could be wring. This can probably be clarified by the Help system.

I have two issues. 1) unable to update Acrobat XI Pro and 2) unable to register product

First issue: I have for the second time installed Acrobat xi pro and then click on "check for updates" from the help menu. And it shows that an update is available. But when I update it I am given the following error message:
Error 1328. Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PT669B.tmp. It has probably been updated by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor."
When I click on "details" I am sent to adobe's "update error" page. Which states the following for error 1328: Error applying patch to [filename]. It's likely that something else updated the file, and the patch can't modify it. For more information, contact your patch vendor.
I have tried uninstalling program and re-installing program but still get same error message from my attempt at updating. So I am not sure if program is update or not. And I do not know who my "patch vendor" is.
Second issue: Unable to register product with Adobe. Because the option to do so from the "help" menu which lists "product registration" is greyed/dimmed out. Therefore not giving me the ability to register this product. Please let me know what is causing this problem.

I am not sure, but will suggest some things to try. On the activate issue, it may be that your system already thinks it is activated and so you might try the deactivate and check. If that works, I would suggest you then uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove anything left of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully you can open Acrobat and activate. Then do the updates from the Help menu.

I want to reinstall our Adobe Acrobat XI Pro because we have begun to get error messages. I followed the initial instructions but when I logged in I couldn't find "My Orders" page which is required to locate my order and install. Any ideas?

i have just put a £50 voucher onto my itunes account but when i have went to rent a movie on apple tv it says i have to verify the voucher does anyone no what to do please

Hey there Kenspendiff,
It sounds like you added credit to your iTunes Store account but in iTunes Store on the Apple TV you are being prompted for a verification. I would start by double checking that the gift has been redeemed to your account with this article either on your computer or iOS device:
iTunes Store: iTunes Gift balances
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5035
If so, then Restart the Apple TV:
Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
If the issue persists, would you mind elaborating what the message says word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
