Why does the DC installer remove Acrobat Pro XI, and all of its plugins, without warning?

When you run the "Update" to Acrobat DC, Acrobat XI, and any plugins you are using, disappear. There is no warning. Pro XI is just simply gone.
It is not possible to install Pro XI along side of DC. If you try, the install seems to work, but the Applications folder only contains DC.
Also: Acrobat Pro XI does not appear in the Previous Versions list in the Creative Cloud app.
The only way I have found to get Pro XI back is to uninstall DC, then go to the Pro XI Download page: https://creative.adobe.com/products/acrobat
Click Download, and the CC applet will download and re-install Acrobat Pro XI. You will then need to re-install all your plugins.
Adobe: Thank you so much for creating a massive support headache for your customers! Your ability to screw us over knows no bounds.

Thank you very much for taking your time and answering all the itens.
01. My description was subpar. I mean this:
03. I did test and the number of icons it supports in each row is smaller.
04. Are you sure this is the behavior of XI? I did edit the whole RHP creating new groups and arranging the tools accordingly to my workflow. I did not remember to not be able to remove/add a tool.
05. The second bar is not permanent. But I understand Adobe chose to clean the UI this way and I simply prefer the other way.
06. I still did not find the improvements. To place tools in top bar or RHP is also possible in XI. But of course I take your word and will get deeper on this.
08. Thanks, I was thinking about a tool to search contents.
10. I mean to dismiss definitively. Did not found a preference for this. And there is no X.
11. It centers the window vertically no matter the exact position of the last used. Not a serious issue, but still an issue. For example: I set all windows to align to notifications. Acrobat does not:
Acrobat is behind iTunes notification
Front: Path Finder, back: Acrobat and InDesign behind all
Acrobat is behind InDesign window, small difference at bottom
Illustrator also forgets position and open aligned at top
12. Very very big grey Open dialog under Mac OS X
13. It does not crash under a given operation. It occurs with any PDF file and even with no file open. Since the DC install, Illustrator also begun to crash, although less frequently. An example:
I was using 10.10.2 until some hours ago and now with the updated 10.10.3 the problem remains. I will have to do more tests trying to identify a common element or at least some clue, but the other apps, Adobe's or not, are running OK. If I get any new on this, I will keep you informed.

  • Why does the coversheet show in Acrobat Pro 9?

    This may have been answered before...I just haven't found it.
    Using Acrobat Pro 9 on XP...
    Why does the  'For the best experience..." coversheet show in documents that I have inserted pages to?
    I do everything with Acrobat Pro 9.
    it is frustrating to not be able to access these documents.
    thanks for the help.

    Without seeing the form it would be pretty hard to tell beyond what was stated.
    Are any of the users using a mobile device to fill in the form?
    It is possible the non-Adobe mobile users are manually adding up the fields and entering the string currency symbols and thousand separators, either of which could cause this error.

  • Why does the pen tool remove previous line when I add new anchor points??

    Why does the pen tool remove previous lines??
    Video here:  http://youtu.be/8AmPUkD88h0 
    It removes the hairline on the face, when I add more anchor points. Why? And how do I correct it?

    The ins and outs of the new and changed behaviors in the re-engineered pen tool have been disussed here on this forum and I'm sure a little detour to the help files will also shed some light on this...

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on web sites with a huge wide black border?

    Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

    That is unfortunately a bug only in Firefox 5 and will be fixed in Firefox 6 (Aug).

  • Why does the same song apear as $0.99 and $1.29?

    Why does the same song appear more than once and costs either $0.99 or $1.29?

    Sometimes the exact same song will have two different prices when it appears on two different albums.
    For one of many examples, "Concrete Angel" is 99 cents when it's on "Greatest Hits":
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/greatest-hits/id256344266
    But it is $1.29 when it is on the album "Hits and More":
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hits-and-more/id492676107
    The reason is not obvious, but feel free to buy the cheaper one.

  • Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

    Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HT5527 I have had my storage reduced once already.  In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents.  I do notcare about contents so much as starting a new Save box.  How?  (OS X 10.7.5)

    My iCloud storage is being reduced.  I have already had it reduced once.  In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents.  (One would think that that would be the last thing they removed.  But they took that and the "Trash" mailbox, yet left several thousand old and read messages which were in my "Inbox".)  I do not expect to get the "Save" contents back, but I would like to restore the "Save" mailbox, so that I can start from scratch saving msgs in it again.  But I cannot figure out how to do that.  When I go to "Mailbox" on the top line (between View and Message) and select New Mailbox I get a dialog box in which I can name a new mailbox.  When I type Save, for the name of the new Mailbox I get a response; "The mailbox 'Save" already exists."  But I cannot find it.
    Thanks,  Bill Burner

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why does the Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?

    Why does the The Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?  I tried everything.
    Can I use the Capsule as merely a back up without making use of Wifi?  By connecting by cable to the computer?

    Why does the The Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?  I tried everything.
    What generation is your neighbour's and what generation is yours??
    Sometimes the changes in the TC and firmware can make wireless fail.. also location is important.. the location of your neighbours might be better than yours.. his also might interfere with yours.. set a fixed channel and try the various channels.
    Can I use the Capsule as merely a back up without making use of Wifi?  By connecting by cable to the computer?
    Sure, but you need to work out how the network is going to work.. if you are still picking up network from wireless.. then set static ip for the TC in a different IP range.. set no gateway (router ip) or dns and it will work just fine.

  • Why does working with Stamps cause Acrobat Pro XI to crash on close

    Although other people in my organization have been experiencing crashes several times a day with Acrobat Pro XI (usually from stamping PDFs and closing Acrobat), I've just started receiving crashes after working on custom Stamps. This hasn't happened before to me. What is so special about the stamps that might be causing these crashes?
    Our users using Acrobat for scanning receive the crash message "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Hi George - a few divisions have stamps with JavaScript to query user to enter a date and time document was stamped. Most of the users do not. Just a set of static signature and File stamps. The File stamps have fields that contain custom calculation scripts to always display the current date and time of stamping. This was never a problem in Acrobat 9 Pro, though. Some crashes have occured just scanning through Acrobat without touching the stamps. Thanks for the quick reply and would appreciate if you have any more I can look into.

  • Why does the colour on my Premiere Pro clip change when I add a title to it in After Effects?

    I applied some colour effects to a clip I was working on in Adobe Premiere Pro, but when I replace the composition of the clip with an Affter Effects composition and simply add a title over the video, it saves the clip with a slightly different colour. It doesn't seem to be removing the colour effect that I added to it, just altering it. Any ideas as to what may be happening, and how I can keep the colour consistent? Thanks a mil!

    Just a guess about something to look at - check the color settings in your After Effects project.  If you increase the bit depth to 16 or 32 bits per channel and check your color management settings, you may have a better result.  I'm a bit clueless about the various options under Color Settings, but maybe you will hit upon something that works.
