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  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?

BLUESTAR  Ladies and Gents. We have finally broken new records now with ONE silly application taking up 1 GB of space on your drive! Note that Adobe owns several hard drive manufacturers and they're filling up your drive with junk just so you go out and buy bigger drives with more storage!

MANICHE  "Adobe Download Manager" has just been renamed... "Akamai Download Manager" :-D

No joke! I could even find this funny. (If I had not spent money on it.)

MANICHE  I've purchased the upgrade online yesterday. I've tried to download the "Adobe Download Manager" about 15 times since, and have only "managed" to download 150 MB out of a total of 507 MB: the Akamai applet seems to be buggy ? Or their server is stuck ? The download is awfully slow most of the time, and then stalls for no reason or even freezes the browser (Firefox, Safari, you name it)... Oh, yes, maybe it's my mac: only a Mac Pro 3 GHz with ADSL connection. DE QUI SE MOQUE-T-ON ??

HIPPEMAN  The 'new features' which are mostly improvements are worth a free v8.5 release at most! I'll not 'upgrade' this time Adobe!

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.
