What is Acrobat "CE"? Whether Pro or Standard. I have not heard of "CE".

S
Answer by Sean Hill

There is no version of Acrobat "CE". I've searched through the official website and the previous versions as well, but it appears that no information is provided. As you've said, there are Pro or Standard versions that can be acquired through the official website.


However, many of the Adobe products are now called ADOBE XXXXXX DC

I am looking for a way to install Adobe Acrobat Standard on a Dell computer but I'm not sure which version (XI, X, 9) to use. I need to combine PDF files. Can you help?

P
Answer by Pete Clapp

I recommend you use Adobe Acrobat Standard XI because it is the latest version of the software and the easiest to install and use. In order to run it on your machine, make sure that the Dell computer meets the minimum system requirements. The price of the software is around $12.99 per month, but you can test it free of charge if you download and install its trial version. All you need to do is to press the yellow Try it now button and to follow the on-screen instructions.

PDF files do not download anymore. I constantly get this annoying error message:


could not find acrobat external window handler plug in


What is the solution for this problem?

L
Answer by Leonard Moore

This error occurs when you try to view pdf files inside another programs' window like Internet Explorer or a content management application.


In order to solve this, you can try to uninstall Adobe Reader software from your computer. If you cannot uninstall it by the normal way, you can try to use a third party tool like Revo Uninstaller.


You can try to download and install the latest version of software by visiting Software Informers application web page in order to obtain a download link or visit the following official website.

This "software.informer" program says that I have 14 programs that have updates.....my question is:
Are these FREE updates or do they require that I purchase something else OR does the program: "software.informer" not know one way or the other? I may have a program 7.2 and program 11.3 is now available....I may not want to pay the company even more money to update, when I'm happy with the version 7.2 that I'm currently using.

Answer by Joan 9

Software Informer is not yet able to distinct between an update and upgrade, it can just inform that there is a newer version. And then you can learn either it is an update or upgrade from the review on the site or by visiting a product's home page.

I have purchased a new computer & the old Adobe Acrobat software is not compatible with the operating system on my new computer. So I am required to purchase an upgrade of Adobe Acrobat for my new system. Is it legal for to pass the old version of Adobe Acrobat to my sister that will work on her system?

Answer by kolappan

By the End User agreement you agree to Adobe that you will not re-distribute the software. The software you have purchased can be used in a computer you are using.
So I think it would be illegal.

I cannot download Adobe .dlm files. My system freezes. Can you help?

Answer by Guest

Without anything to go on in your Q, I can throw in a couple of suggestions:


Is there any Error box opening up that might give some clue? You can reboot and hit during the boot process and choose "debug mode" to start up in. You'll then have something to look at that shows just what's going on; while logged in, you can also examine your Event List, after a hang and look at what entries are found just before, during and after the failure.


If trying to use a link for the download, next time it fails (and you've rebooted) right-click the link, then the "Save as..." and the next open box should give you normal choices about where it should go on your system, as well as a name of some kind. You can make changes, here, to your needs, then click on "save," "OK," or whatever it prompts to start the download.


Use Window's "Task Manager" (simply right-click in a blank area of your task bar or quick task bar, when logged in and following the failure), look in the popup box, click "Task Manager" and study the "Applications" and "Process" listings for anything amiss. Maybe there's an orphan Process entry from a failed download attempt still open (such orphans from many sources can cause stray problems) and showing up in the Process list.


Give those a try and good luck!
