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? http://www.binarynow.com/pdf-conversion/create-a-custom-paper-size-in-windows-7-for-print2pdf/ We’ve got Acrobat Pro 9, Windows 7 64 bit.

]]> Comment on Adobe Acrobat 9 + Windows 7: A Bad Combination? by Chrystin http://www.4xpdf.com/2010/06/adobe-acrobat-9-windows-7-a-bad-combination/comment-page-1/#comment-4048 Chrystin Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:32:53 +0000 http://www.4xpdf.com/?p=4172#comment-4048 Adobe Pro 9 on Windows 64 Ultimate/XP virtual. I had to install/reinstall Adobe 9 three times before it loaded properly. It doesn't work on the virtual machine at all (apparently a $140 hoax as nothing I've tried to load there, except for one dictionary, works as specified). Also, note that my version of Pro 9 is an upgrade, and it wouldn't let me install the upgrade directly, even with the prior version's code. I had to install, then install again until I got to version 9. Now the two standout problems to me are that I can't get it to print normally to pdf, and it automatically sizes itself to 52.8% or less, and I've re-set it multiple times to a default setting. I was able to get it to print with 1.5 hour of tech support time (web-based) and he had to take control of my computer to get it to print. Now it will print to pdf, but it doesn't print like it used to by opening a screen to name it; now a funky little icon comes up on the task-bar and I have to click on it to get to the naming function. I was also having trouble with Quicken's print to pdf function and had to jury-rig that, too. The internal Quicken PDF printer still won't work, so I default to the PDF from Adobe (no big deal, unless you're a Quicken user without full-bore Acrobat and it won't print). He also suggested that if I wanted it to work normally I should invest in the Pro 10 upgrade. I told him "no, thanks," as I've owned Pro 9 for only a few months. Don't you think if they came out with a new version within a few months they'd give you a much better deal on an upgrade? Adobe Pro 9 on Windows 64 Ultimate/XP virtual.

Version 9 requires java 1.6 which is not compatible with older ppc computers. That wouldn't be a problem if versions 7 or 8 for mac were still available but they are not proposed anymore,so back to good (but not user frendly) old Adobe software. Alain Hi,

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. Just got a new computer.
