We’ve got Acrobat Pro 9, Windows 7 64 bit. I do have admin rights. Does anyone know how to create a custom paper size? I tried creating a new form per the instructions in this link below but when the new paper size option was not available when I tried to print a PDF. I tried choosing the options to in Acrobat to let the paper size determin the paper size but no luck. Did not find the custom paper size I created in other applications either. This is so easy in XP what am I missing?

I just had the same problem with Acrobat 9 – it suddenly stopped working, and sent me an error message saying it had encountered a problem and stopped working. I only used it for about 10 minutes when this happened.

After installing the update 9 will not allow presets for scanning. I must use the custom settings each time.

Just got a new computer. The non-functionality of Adobe Pro 9 is driving me wild. I need this program. It is now DOA doing absolutely nothing. Every time I try to print an e-mail it locks up the computer. I had no problems at all with XP. I’m seriously considering returning this brand new built to order computer, all because of a totally stupid OS.

I had Acrobat 9.0 with updates through 9.2 and Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop for several months an all worked fine. With Update 9.3 no other program, including Adobe products, can not Print to PDF in the print menu.
Examination of preferences file in Acrobat 9.3.4; Convert to PDF, shows that I can not edit the settings because it can not access the settings file.
This all started with the 9.3 update….

I installed AR 9.3.3 on this XP 32-bit machine and have had problems including inability to read PDF files and cannot shut down 9.3.3 except by using Task Manager. I am able to read the same file on another nearly identical computer with an unknown version of AR which I have just now upgraded to 9.2.0, after Adobe’s pesky interruption, to which I finally relented. v 9.2.0 reads the file that I have trouble with on the first machine. It seems strange that there is a v. 9.3.3 out and that Adobe is today prompting upgrades to 9.2.0 from earlier versions. So I guess I will uninstall AR from this machine and see what Adobe suggests I install when I click on a pdf.

I have installed 9.3.3 on a windows 7 64 bit machine. Everything else works fine. I get errors on every document. error 135 . this page is not readable. There are errors on this page and cannot be read.

These documents were all readable when I had an xp machine. And if fact these documents have to be read by going to my wife’s computer and printing them out.

When I installed Adobe pro 8 in my new windows 7 ultimate the nightmare started! Adobe should not released adobe 9 family because all have problems. In orther for me to keep working I had to create a pdf printer by adding a local printer and loading the driver from adobe cd acrobar pro 8 & also got a free pdf “cutepdf” from the web until I figurate out both win 7 & adobe CS4 installation issues (nightmare installations errors 2, 1603, etc)
thanks to all for all your comments!

I was using my HP scanner yesterday and tried to scan in from my printer which said i needed the hp software, however when I went on the HP site it stated that windows 7 has already the software built in. So I used the Window 7 software to scan and all was ok.

I have purchaed a new Dell Studio with Intel i7 and 4 megs of RAM. I have installed Office 10 with no problems and ADOBE PRO EXTENDED. This loaded ok however it has frozen a few times. I have tried to surch for updates and in the Update button in the help menu Adobe comes up with a message to say I have no connection. Obviously this is not correct.
Also every now and again I get a message that states Data base has issues and Adobe will close.

However I have maged to use Adobe documents, drawings, and Forms and it has ben ok. However there is still a lot of work to be done. Does any one know of an update for Adobe 9 extended that I can load for Windows 7?.

the only problem we are experiencing is Acrobat 9.3 pro with Windows 7 is it crashes when opening multiple files. Just did the update and that didn’t change anything. Any solutions?

I had my acrobat 9 standard installed via upgrade from acrobat 6 on my old Dell with Windows XP. Loved being able to specify a custom/specific flat-bed scanning size or using the feeder for specific paper sizes. But then C drive on Dell died and I bought a new HP desktop with Windows 7 a couple weeks later. In the mean time before buying new HP, for some reason, even though Adobe says my serial # should be good on 2 computers and that my serial # is valid, when I tried using the same CD-ROM to upgrade my 6 to 9 standard on my Acer netbook with XP, the download registration window said it was invalid. So I had to download free 30-day trial of Acrobat 9 Pro (before purchasing my new HP) and also did the same trial download on my new HP. I also had to install the Windows 7 driver for my HP8500 printer cuz the CD-ROM was for only up to XP….

Now I CANNOT specify my flatbed size nor a specific feeder size using Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7. Even though I can tell it a custom size in the TWAIN configure presets step or using custom scan (essenitally the same thing), it scans my whole legal size flatbed glass, even if I told it regular letter size paper!! I’m not very happy about this. It lets me specify the scan size, but still and always scans legal.

Anyone know if there’s some sort of setting somewhere to correct this?

Thanks.
