MACLOVER1.1  PAst few updaters I got the seemingly common error message (unable to isntall.. change plugins.. blah blah). It tried everything: reinstalling, logging form a different user account etc.. no it will not update... it scares me for my setup mostly.. because seriously I hardly ever use Acrobat... but what is this error that so may seem to encounter and that is so "mysterious". ADOBE wake up... you are annoying us. Can't it be more precise.. error, like what has supposedly changed form my original install.. when I have just reinstalled like 2mn prior ???! Oh I get it my clock has changed its numbers lol

NIKO0929  I've downloaded Acrobat Pro 9.0 for mac several times now, and none works more than 1 day. It worked fine the first day I installed the program, but crashes every time I open a pdf file. It won't stay open more than a minute. Does anyone know how I can fix it. It is very frustrating that I can not even finish reading articles.

ERIC WOEHLER  Forgot to mention - running Vanilla install of CS4 - no plugins removed, no language files removed, no modifications from original CS4 installation other than Adobe updates to 9.1.3!!!

Just tried the updater on a second machine [mirror door G4 desktop) (also unmodified CS4 install) and failed to upgrade: ".. application modified, plugins disabled.." yada yada yada. Negative Adobe - CS4 DVD install and fails to upgrade...

is anyone from Adobe reading this?

MISHA  What does the Console show when it's trying to update? For me it was a language file issue.

ERIC WOEHLER  Just tried to run updater after running the "Repair Acrobat Installation" option under the Help menu in Acrobat. Ran the repair ok, 'repaired' the Acrobat printer (which had been working just fine, thank you for asking), then tried the updater. Same old message, plugins removed, app modified, etc etc

So - it looks like I have to reinstall CS4 to update Acrobat from 9 to 9.1. Or I could remove Acrobat from my mac.... hmmmm.. what to do, what to do...

ERIC WOEHLER  Updater fails to update. Message "Update failed" claiming application modified, plugins removed etc etc etc

Same old same old garbage from Adobe. The app is vanilla, unmodified install straight off my CS4 install disc and the updater fails. Garbage garbage software. How is it that Adobe can get away with this?

Updater tells me to reinstall original software then run updater - its the same for M$ Office - reinstall the software to update it.. Huh? What is this? Windoze world??

Hello - is anyone from Adobe listening?? I spent big bucks on CS4 and I can't keep the software up to date? Honestly, does Adobe think they will keep their user base with behaviour like this?

D9  I refuse to give this program any credit when Adobe continues to rip-off Mac users w/ versions lacking the equivalent features in the Windows version...and charging the same price!

Bottom line for Mac users is that this version adds little in new features worth upgrading from Acrobat 7 or 8. Save your money and screw Adobe!

AWRC  I feel much the same - the inclusion of Livecycle Designer seems to be the primary reason for the existence of the top-end Acrobat versions, and it sounds like a technology I'd love to experiment with, but they continue to leave it out of the Mac version with no explanation - while heavily plugging its capabilities in advertising and putting "*Windows only" in teeny-tiny lettering at the bottom of the ad.

Without it, there's next to no justification for even producing any of the higher-end versions on the Mac, let alone producing them and selling them at the same price as for Windows.

While I'm sometimes puzzled why the use of Livecycle-enabled forms hasn't taken off, it'd be ironic if it was because it was primarily Mac users that found it of interest - I seem to recall that on Windows there's already a capability to do something similar in Exchange/Outlook/Office environments, so there's little motive for anybody using that to look at Livecycle. End result - lack of interest because the product is only available on a platform where it's competing with an existing solution from Microsoft, and unavailable on the platform where it might have a chance of making an impact.

OZEAN  I used Adobe Updater and it worked without any problems. This is in 10.6.1 set to English on a MacBook Pro 2,2.

Also, saving as Adobe PDF finally seems to work. (I never got it to work reliably after updating to 10.6 where there is no Adobe PDF printer anymore. Now we have the Print > PDF > Save as Adobe PDF function, which had big problems - hopefully my impression that those are fixed now is correct!)
