Why is Acrobat XI not Included in Creative Suite CS6?

Our company has just purchased Creative Suite CS6, eLearning Suite CS6, & multiple copies of the Technical Communications Suite V4 (just released). None of these expensive packages include the new Acrobat XI, not even the Std version. In addition, PhotoShop has been removed from TCS V4, where it belongs. I see this as a callous marketing policy by Adobe to force companies to buy multiple product suites, or at least extra (expensive) essential programs (or be stuck with legacy programs). Even the so-called Master Suite CS6 does not include items in TCS. When you add the incredible cost of EU versions of Adobe products wrt to US prices, it is no wonder that customers are moving away from Adobe, or at least not upgrading as often as they used to.

Good day gzhtub,
Acrobat XI was announced today, but still hasn't shipped.  The ship date is still a few weeks out.  That said, CS6 will not include Acrobat XI.  However, Creative Cloud subscribers will have access to Acrobat XI if they would like to install it.  Per the Acrobat XI FAQ:
Which version of Acrobat is available in the Adobe Creative Suite® editions?  
Creative Suite 6 and CS5.5 editions include Acrobat X Pro. Acrobat XI Pro is available through Adobe Creative Cloud™, which provides access to the latest versions of Creative Suite applications on a membership basis.
I can understand your concerns as it relates to the TCS products and the Master Collection.  The best way to influence change on that front is to provide feedback directly to the product teams via the Feature Request form.
Please let me know if you have any questions. 
-David

  • Acrobat 7 not included with Creative Suite 2 downloads?

    Hey Jeff,
    thanks for your reply, but I told not the whole truth
    We have some CS2 Premium (for Mac) here and want to reinstall them, we've got no single Acrobat 7 here. If I want to reinstall the whole CS2 Premium or a part of it from our old installation media, I receive the message, that the activation server is unvavailable. When I use the three published DMG-Files to install CS2, there is no Acrobat 7 in it.
    Is there any possibility to get Acrobat 7 for Mac as a single download-version or CS2 Premium instead of CS2 Standard?
    Thanks

    Ok well I have confirmed that the Mac version of Acrobat 7 does not include activation technology.  Please install Acrobat 7 from your original installation media. 
    If you don't have a separate serial number then Acrobat will need to be licensed by one of the point products.  So please customize the install to include both Acrobat and Photoshop for example.  You will then need to launch Photoshop once, tell it to activate later, and then you should be able to run Acrobat successfully.  You can then remove the copy of Photoshop and install from the new volume license software which is available at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l.

  • Commercial use of Acrobat 9 Pro included in Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Student Edition

    Hey!
    So I have bought CS4 Design Premium Student Edition a few years back and I'm still a student by the way.
    As far as I already know, prior to CS5 Student Editions were eligible for commercial use only in North America, but - does Acrobat 9 Pro still count as an integral part of Creative Suite? It can be bought separately as well.
    The thing is - I wanted to convert a few PDF documents to fully featured forms for someone and sell them, because I own a licence of Acrobat Pro. Can I do that? Or does commercial use only refers to my own business and I can't sell the outcome of my work to someone else? How exactly does this work? I'm outside of US and I don't even know if I can count Acrobat 9 Pro as eligible to perform commercial work.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Why are acrobat updates not delivered via creative cloud?

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why Acrobat updates such as the May 13 security update are not delivered via the Creative Cloud application? My CC app says my installation is up to date yet I keep getting a pop up in my Win 7 notification area from a separate acrobat updater app that wants to install an update. This is potentially confusing for users. In fact, it makes no sense at all. Why not have the installation files and the updates delivered through one interface. Or at least show the app needs updating in the CC app.
    Overall, I find this disappointing and not very well thought out by Adobe. I won't even start on all the CC installation problems people are having.

    Hi CJ E,
    Acrobat updater technology is different to that of Creative Cloud.
    Our engineering team are working to integrate the updates along with CC App in the near future.

  • Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

    the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs).  but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
    click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

  • Why is charsets.jar not included in jre5?

    hi,
    i recently decided to using jre1.5.0_9-b01 and wondered why my application that has originally been developed with 1.4.2_12 doesn't support the cp850 encoding anymore.
    so i browsed the docs at:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
    and found out that beside others the cp850 belongs to an extended encoding set included in lib/charsets.jar.
    straight to the point, there is no such charsets.jar in the lib directory of the jre5 installation.
    as a temporary fix, i copied the charsets.jar from the 1.4.2 installation and my application works fine again.
    so, why is charsets.jar not included in jre5?
    best wishes,
    r.

    It is included...Just not installed by default (in a typical install).
    You can go to "start/settings/control panel/add and remove programs" and select the JRE. If you get the option to modify or change and you have "supervisor" rights to your machine, then you can select the "modify or change" option (twice) and add support for additional languages. If there is a little yellow "1" in front of the drive icon, it is not installed. You must select the option and choose the first option on the drop down list...follow through to finish. Make sure you do not have any browser windows open (or anything else which may be using the JRE such as Tomcat). The install builds the charsets.jar. Good Luck

    Hi ,  
      This is a sort of performance issue , because your program takes more than the max time set for the program to execute in foreground.
    There are many stuff in program which will hamper your performance.
    I will list down a few
    1. SELECT *
    FROM konp
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE konp_itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN a363_itab
    WHERE knumh EQ a363_itab-knumh
    in this statement you are using for all entries a363_itab , but before this statement you are not checking if the table has any entry or not , please do remember that for all entries has this characterstic , that if you internal table does not contain any record , then all the records are selected from the database table. So in this case if you table a363_itab is empty , so what you want is no data must be seelcted from table konp , but what will happen is all the records in KONP will be seelcted.
    2. While retreiving data you are using seelct * even though you do not require all the fields , an example is
    <b>SELECT *
    FROM mkpf
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE mkpf_itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN mseg_itab
    WHERE mblnr EQ mseg_itab-mblnr.</b>
    in this your internal table contains only 2 fields
    <b>mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr, "Number of Material Document
    bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat, "Document Date in Document</b> , but to get these 2 fields you are selecting all the fields of the table.
    3. In select you are using into corresponding fields of table , it is not a good practice., so please avoidd it.
    Please understand that you must try to reduce the access to your database tables and try to keep it minimal , because this same thing may happen becasue data in DEV is very less compared to the volume of data in production , so a program working in DEV will take much more time in PRD if not written properly and may result in timeouts , as in your case.
    Please try to make chanegs to the prorgam and see if it works.
    In case you have more queries , please do revert back.
    Regards
    Arun

    In Germany no telephone number nor web chat is available.  Searching on the Adobe site tells me that this forum is the only avialable means to ask consumer questions.  I am giving up and ordering from elsewhere.

  • Cloud Versions Break my Creative Suite CS6 Apps

    Installing the Cloud version of FlashPro broke my legacy Creative Suite CS6 FlashPro. Now it won't start. Why?
    Also, I installed FlashBuilder from the Cloud Application Manager. It says it is installed, but I have no idea how to launch it.
    How about a simple step by step on installing and launching Cloud installed apps, where to find the launch exe and howt fix CS6 apps that were already installed before subscribing to the Cloud service?

    Hi Bobrast,
    You might try uninstalling Flash Professional and then reinstalling it.
    Control Panel > Programs & Features (Windows 7)
    Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs (XP)
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
    I'm not sure if you are on Windows or Mac but on Windows you should be able to launch the apps from the Start Menu on Windows and from the Applications folder on Mac.
