Why not let me have Acrobat Pro XI and DC much like I have CS6 and CC?

I've loved CC so far because it let me have both CS6 and the new CC apps. That meant there was no slowdown in production while I learn how to use the new app. When crunch time came, I could just turn to my trusty old app that I know like the back of my hand. I'm a huge fan of the CC subscription model and the constant rollouts, but this is the first time I felt like the rollout was forced upon me.

Thanks Dov,
That makes sense for why Acrobat is the exception to the parallel installation rule. Thanks for the explanation. I didn't mean to imply that Adobe made me install DC, just that there doesn't seem to be a way to roll back the installation - at least not within the Creative Cloud App. Is there a trick to do that?
Also, I haven't tried this, but could I have both Acrobat Pro XI and Reader DC on the same machine? I was thinking of using that as a work around to have both the old familiar acrobat, but also start using the doc share/fill and sign stuff that I like in the new DC. Does that cause too many problems to be practical?

  • I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
    text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis.  Whereas on my mac
    mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
    the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
    clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
    to do anything.
    In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing.  I run a
    small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
    subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
    to their respective folders.  On my laptop when I open up an email from my
    scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
    paperclip symbol.  However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
    notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
    program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,

  • I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed on Windows 8

    I have Acrobat Pro 9 installed on Windows 8 and it asked me to download Adobe Reader 11.0.09 Font Packs - Asian and Extended Language Pack but it says I need Adobe Reader XI to be installed first.  Will this pack work with Acrobat Pro 9?  Is there a different pack for Acrobat Pro 9?  Thanks for any help.
    Also: I am not doing anything with languages other than English.  I don't read them or write them.  I just use English. Why do I need such a pack?

    Hi Hanoch ,
    Compatibility of Acrobat 9 with Windows 8 could be a reason that you are facing such an issue.
    As Acrobat 9 is an older version ,that could be one of the reasons it is prompting you to download the Reader 11.0.09 Font Packs.
    Would request you to check for an update first ,and if it fails try switching on to the latest version of Acrobat ,i.e 11.0.10.
    To check for Updates.
    Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Check for Updates.
    You may also want to refer to the following link.

    See if that helps.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
    How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
    Help!

    Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    8.
    When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
    In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
    So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.

  • I purchased Adobe CS4.  I am now being asked for my serial number and when I put it in the program does not recognize it for Acrobat Pro 9 though it does for PhotoShop, Bridge and the rest of the suite.  What can I do?

  • I have acrobat pro but I can't open pdf files now.

    I have acrobat pro  But since a few days ago I can't open any pdf file anymore.If I try with reader I do,but not with acrobat pro.
    I need help please.

    Do two steps and then retry. Open Acrobat and then
    1. Help>Repair
    2. Help>Updates
    Since it had been working, I assume there was no change in OS or Acrobat.

  • Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    This is not just annoying, it is wrong, because at the end of the trial it will stop completely. You must resolve it before then.
    So, did you do anything to license the trial version? It needs to be told that you have purchased, or it will stop working at the end of the trial.

  • Why not let youview customers watch BT sport on de...

    I have a youview box with the essential £5 sub. I also have BT sport on a sky box. Why not let me, as a bona fide BT broadband and sport customer, watch the BT sport on demand programmes on youview. They are only repeats of what is on the channels.

    Agreed. Only allowing access to infinity users with BT Sport and with YouView, isn't making my decision to cancel my Essentials pack next month very difficult. Money for nothing.

  • How can I have Acrobat Pro v8 and v7 installed but have v7 as default?

    I just re-formatted my hard drive and reinstalled CS3 Design Standard.
    I need the better quality voice to read pdf docs to me. The voice in Version 7 is very much better. Yet when I select a pdf file and go to info, where it shows what will open it -- it WILL NOT let me specify Acrobat 7 permanently. It keeps popping back to Acrobat 8. Same problem before I reformatted the drive and re-installed everything. so the issue is within Acrobat.
    How can I get it to do what I'm asking short of zipping the version 8 file and leaving only Acrobat 7 in my Applications folder?
    This is annoying having to keep Acrobat 8 hobbled.
    Thanks.
    I have OSX 10.4.11 PPC.

    Gosh wish I could proof read what I write and can catch mistakes.
    I'm going to try again. correcting mistakes and I will bold face corrections:
    Try the following This *doesn't* work for the MSOffice2008 but usually does for others.
    On OSX.4.11.
    choose a group of PDF's (more than 5).
    now either control-click or right click on the group and wait for context menu to open up.
    select get *Summary Info* on the group.
    now when get info window is open look for default application.
    If acrobat 8 is selected click on button and locate acrobat 7. release when mouse when 7 is selected.
    Below That will be another button That says make default for all files of this type. click on That button.
    close get *Summary Info window*. Test.
    Now if you need a PDF opened in 8 either open 8 first then choose desired file or if you have the Acrobat 8 icon in the Dock drag and drop document on the icon of Acrobat 8
    IF you retry then Acrobat is like Office2008 setting this has no effect.
    In this case you can highlight the File go to finder menu File and choose open with. you have to wait for a list to be created of applications that will open. Choose desired version of Acrobat or Reader from there.
    Or if you have icon of both Acrobat 7 and 8 in the dock, drop the file on the icon of Acrobat 7.
    See if I did better this time.

  • How can I import comments from shared reviewer who doesn't have acrobat pro?

    How can I import comments from shared reviewer who doesn't have acrobat pro? I sent out a shared review, but not all of the reviewers have acrobat pro, they do have acrobat reader 9 and have made comments on the document, but they do not appear when I open the shared review from the workspace. Can I import his comments so that they are apart of the shared review?

    I figured it out, so I will share just in case anyone else has this issue...
    The reviewer emailed me his comments on the document. I opened it and made a comment. When I went to publish my comment a dialogue box opended asking if I wanted to publish his comments to the shared review for him. Says yes and the reviewers comments are now published and a part of the shared review.
