Why upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to X or XI
What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat 10 or 11?
You should ask this question in one of the Acrobat forums. The following is probably the most appropriate one: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions
It would be helpful to know the type of things you use Acrobat for. Some features have been enhanced significantly and some functionality you have with Acrobat 9 Extended has been removed.

.PS file generating a blank PDF after upgrade from Acrobat Pro 7 to 9
Hi All,
I've searched for this in vain so I'm comming to you now in desperation. My boss has tasked me with tracking down this error and I have to be honest, I'm a little bit green with Acrobat Pro. So coming into the situation I know this. My department used to use a .ps file to build a publication into a PDF from other .ps files. We operate on a network share (the P: drive) on Windows XP SP3 machines with the latest updates.
In Acrobat Pro 7 we could double click the .ps file which executed the below code through Adobe Distiller and a finished PFD of the same file name would be output to the host directory. But now, after upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9, this process only produces a PDF with all of the appropriate bookmarks and none of the content.
% PostScript program for distilling and combining multiple PostScript files.
% When embedding font subsets, it is highly recommended you use this technique
% to distill multiple PS files so only one font subset is used for each font.

Is there anything obvious about this that screams, "You're an idiot!"? I'm okay with that, just need to get it fixed.
Thank in advance for any help you can provide.
MichaelAn observation -
It looks like you are dealing with files that reflect someone's work with the pdfmark Reference (associated with Distiller).
As with Acrobat Security, JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK the 'how-to' from these all undergo changes with each new Acrobat release.
I suspect that the coding, while adequate for back when Acrobat 7 was new on the street, may have to be updated to comply with what the Distiller provided with Acrobat 9 supports.
Use the link for pdfmark Reference
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/wwdistiller.html
The Acrobat Developer Center ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html ) provides a hub to the myriad of "under-the-hood" aspects of Acrobat.

Bath process stopped working after upgrading from Acrobat Pro 7.1 to 8.1.3
I have a batch process that was working in Acrobat 7.1 Professional on that no longer works when using Acrobat 8.1.3. It essentially takes a PDF sizes it down, puts a stationary behind it, watermarks it with the month and moves on to the next file. My javascript skills are not as good as I wish and I can't figure out what has changed between versions to stop it from working. The java console gives a message saying "redeclaration of the const ConvertToPA." It seems like something in the syntax has changed. Does anyone know what's changed to stop it from working? I posted the code below. Many Thanks.
Note: Trusted functions and paths have been changed.

else {global.user_response = cResponse;} }

Sorry to bother you all!!! When they installed the upgrade, it wiped out
my Adobe Printer, but IT is coming up to install something called Cute

Cant upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro extended
Hello everyone,
I purchased the upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, but get an error when I try to install. The error says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.". How is it that Acrobat pro is "more functional" then pro extended. I bought the upgrade because I need the 3d capabilities of extended pro. How do I work around this issue?Oops. I just read that I need to uninstall acrobat 9 first. I now have a new issue. Acrobat extended installed fine, but now it is doing an upgrade check. It is asking for the serial number for the acrobat 9 pro. My old version was part of the Creative suite 4. When I enter the serial number from the creative suite it comes back as an invalid number. Why is this?

What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?
Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.
Tell us how you use Acrobat, and what you do with it, and we can suggest improvements that were made in Acrobat X and XI Pro. -
After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?
The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.
Windows 7 64bitI see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again. -

Can't upgrade from Acrobat X Std to Acrobat X pro
Hello,
I have Acrobat X std I purchased and d/l without problem months ago. Today tried to upgrade from Acrobat X standard to Acrobat X Pro. All seemed well until I ran the installation after downloading the files using the download assistant. The installer window shows Acrobat X Standard in the top bar. It will only accept my old Acrobat X Standard serial number. It will not accept the new activation key or serial number. I have completely uninstalled Acrobat X, gone back to the download area under my orders, and re-downloaded the file. Same thing happens all over again. Of course no support or help on weekend and I leave on a trip tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.OK, I got it loaded. Not sure exactly, but I believe the tricks were to not use their automatic downloarder, delete it from my computer, to select the "overwrite" option when the manually downloaded installer found the previous files (which I had uninstalled, so not sure what the uninstaller left behind....) then of course once it ran, it prompted me for the Standard serial number, since that had been uninstalled. Once I put that in, it all seems to work. Sheesh.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?
This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened) -
Why is Acrobat DC not recognizing my scanner after upgrade from Acrobat CC?
Two days ago I upgraded from Acrobat CC to Acrobat DC on my iMac (OS X 10.10.3). This seems to have rendered my Canon MP980 scanner inoperable. I get a message that the scanner driver(s) are not found. I did not delete any Canon drivers, only performed an Adobe suggested upgrade.
I see several others have experienced the same. One place I found a suggested workaround, but for me not an acceptable solution, is found in this KB article:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-does-not-support-twain-drivers-on-mac.html
I tried to use Mac App store Updates but it is not finding any for the scanner, as suggested in the above article.
The Cannon is on a local network (Ethernet). My Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.3) is still running Acrobat CC without any problem using the scanner.
A real solution would be appreciated.
Regards,
toreddieHi Anubha,
Thanks for your help.
In Finder ...... > Twain Data Sources I found two files, "Canon MP980 series Network.ds" (1.9Mb) and "Canon MP980 series.ds" (2Mb). Next to Kind for both it says "Application". I don´t see the word "Package" or "PowerPC" or "Universal". However, under Where, it says "Macintosh HD>Library>Image Capture>TWAIN Data Source. This is also the same information I find on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.3), but still running Acrobat CC (not upgraded yet, thankfully). I can still scan using my MBP.
I was able to scan using Image Capture.
I did not have time to go through the procedure of logging in as root user.
Frankly, this seems way to complicated. There has to be an easier fix to the problem.
I also checked Canon´s website for updated driver files, but there are none for Yosemite.

Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?
Can I upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Pro?
As I indicated, the store gives an upgrade from Std to Pro, though I think the price is not appropriate. If you go to the basic page for Acrobat, they are no pushing the subscription version. If you do to the buying guide you get the regular version option (http://www.adobe.com/content/dotcom/en/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html). The upgrade is $199, which I think is crazy. Something like $70 is more appropriate, the difference in cost between Std and Pro upgrades, or at least $150 for the difference of the full products. If the Std had been an upgrade, the cost of a full upgrade is not reasonable. Anyway, a screen capture of the cost is below:
So apparently the guys on the chat have no clue what they are talking about. However, that does not surprise me. What bothers me is some of the unreasonable pricing as I see it in the store. -
Installing upgrade from Acrobat XI Standard to Acrobat Xi Pro
I am trying to install an upgrade from Acrobat 11 Standard to Acrobat 11 Pro. I have purchased and upgrade license. When I try to install the Pro upgrade, I get a message that a product with higher functions is already installed and it terminates the install. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I would recommend you uninstall Std, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over Acrobat folder parts (in Program Files>Adobe), reboot, and install. You will likely have to give the S/N for Std as the qualifying product for XI Pro.

Can I upgrade from Acrobat 11 Pro to DC Pro?
Can I upgrade from Acrobat 11 Pro to DC Pro?
Hey marcp30425730,
If you are using Creative Cloud or Acrobat XI subscription, then you will get a free upgrade to Acrobat DC.
You can install and activate Acrobat DC subscription on your machine using the same Adobe ID credentials.
On the other hand, if you own Acrobat XI Pro, then you cannot use the same serial key to activate Acrobat DC.
You need to purchase a separate perpetual license for DC version, but you'll be qualified for a reduced price when purchasing the perpetual license.
Hope this information helps you. Let me know if you have further queries.
I would certainly help you out.

Anubha
