Anyone else have this problem?

Purchased version of Windows 32 bit version of Acrobat XI update will not install properly or work.

First error info message is as per title after initial red screen which only appears once.

Second error info message is verify operation failed.

2 downloads, 3 installs and 2 repairs produce same result.

Adobe Australia called three times on 1800614863 but only automated selections 322323 made and transfer promised.

First call at 0901 local time.

All calls placed on hold first two timed out.

31 minutes into third call got an answer from a man in India.

In answer to my question:

Are you receiving reports of problems installing purchased upgrade versions of Acrobat XI Pro?

The answer was No.

He took details of messages and offered to help but I declined.

I have purchased and used all Acrobat Pro upgrades since 6.

Complete installation attempted.

Being done on a clean install of Windows XP SP3 on an OQO02 with only other program installed Office 2007 SBE.

Message was edited by: OQOroger to reflect inability to connect  to seller Adobe Australia. Also Adobe site can't stay on Australia but reverts to USA. Full price of $A282 paid. USA purchasers only pay $US199 ($A191.57 at present exchange rates.) Credit card account already debited for purchase made yesterday. Subject line corrected 'as' changed to 'was'.

Message was edited by: OQOroger Corrected the price paid and currency conversion amount to show extra paid by Australians for 'local' support (from India). Added 'Message -' to title to make it less cryptic.

Message was edited by: OQOroger  Typical setup installation results in same problems except 'There was a problem reading this document (57)' window does not appear. First window displaying and asking for acceptance of license conditions has no bottom section when first displayed so there is no way to accept these conditions except to close this window (confirm window appears) and launch program again when bottom panel is displayed.

I was asked by Adobe customer support to install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro using my existing download AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe, Date Created: 20/11/2012 10:05 PM, Size: 501 MB, under a newly created account (Adobe) after uninstalling and using Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool program, AdbeArCleaner.exe, File Version: 1.0.0.0, Date Created: 5/04/2012 8:05 PM, Size: 1.95 MB.

Exactly the same problems and reports found. Same message posted on Adobe Customer Support Portal.

In reply:

Yes and yes.

I will post my case reports to Adobe here when I get time but they have not provided anything back to me to date.

Problems persist even when Typical setup chosen except first (subject) message does not appear.

Acrobat Reader XI and Acrobat X Pro worked on same computer before upgrade attempted. Both now removed.

I have used Acrobat since version 5 and updated to Pro every time an upgrade was offered.

Some of my computers are still running earlier versions. Never had any problems previously

I would like to hear from anyone with a successful upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro as I can see lots of separate issues with my attempts at instalation.

Years ago a common comment in the industry was:

All software is shipped broken.

I have not seen any this broken for a long time!

I installed AAXI on Win7 and have had no problems. I have been tempted to put it on my desktop (XP), but have not done that yet.

Acrobat Reader XI instals and runs with no apparent problems. 'verify operation failed' window seen a few times.

Adobe support has proved of no use. Contact by telephone has proved difficult as one is left on hold for long periods. Adobe portal just claims they can't phone but does not indicate what error messages indicate. Actual details follow:

Problem still there after program removal and restore overnight.
Installation chosen is complete rather than typical or custom,
Red screen is a square Window with a red border only seen at very first launch describing Acrobat Pro copyright, legals and version.

As problem repeatable seems a genuine software problem or 'bug'.

No useful help obtained from Adobe. Help desk in India did call and I explained problem in detail and asked for email advice. This was promised but all I have been asked to date is to create another user account on my PC which I have called Adobe.

When you say 'There was a problem reading this document (57)', is this in response to actually selecting the AAXI program out of the program list or when clicking on a PDF? I.E., did you get AAXI to install? I am a bit confused from the list of messages and am not sure I understand. So: (1) did AAXI install with no error messages? (2) if installed, are you able to open Acrobat from the program listing in windows? and (3) if AAXI opens, can you select a PDF to open? Other issues would be related to creating a PDF, but let's try to address just reading PDFs first. I am not sure what OQO02 is, but assume it is a product model of a computer.

(1) No.

Error messages were:

'There was a problem reading this document (57)' (once only after square red bordered initial window) and

'verify operation failed'

AAXI Pro did install but did not work as expected.

(2)Yes

(3)Yes

OQO02 is an UMPC (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO)

My username on OQOTalk is roger (see www.oqotalk.com/)

I own 6 working second hand units so I can try out different configurations. I purchased one new but it is now unserviceable.

(Purchased programs known not to work on OQO02s include Active@Boot Disk booting from a USB boot stick and LapLink for file transfer by cable.)

Attempt to open 'View' tab freezes AAXIPro-can only turn off from 'Windows Task Manager'.

AAXI Reader installed

'verify operation failed' error message appears randomly.

Problem explained in detail twice to an Adobe employees in India with a request that advice be by email due to waiting times.

The two seemed more interested in offering me a refund but I have declined this offer more than four times with the advice that I am prepared to wait until the first update which I expect will resolve the problem.

Screen shots not available as normally created using Acrobat and I don't know any other method.

I am experienced in computer use but am lacking in detailed technical knowledge of operating systems capabilities eg I have never used remote desktop.

Thanks for your interest.

My experience with Adobe is that it is increasingly more difficult to contact anyone really able to help particularly if your purchases from them are as infrequent as mine.

Despite my advice of some of the many faults I have experienced with Acrobat XI Pro, Adobe support has never asked me to provide a 'Systems Report' which is available under the 'Help' tab.

This report indicates:

'Installed Acrobat: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

    Version: 11.0.0.379

So if anyone has a working version other than 379 please let me know.

I can easily see 2 matters which an inexperienced support desk staff member could home in on.

Acrobat XI Pro system requirements include

1024x768 screen resolution and

Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, or 10; Firefox Extended Support Release; Chrome

Well my OQO report above includes

Display Detail:

   Screen Width: 800

   Screen Height: 480

and leaves blank

Default Browser:

(actually Firefox 17.0.1)

Yet 'Firefox Extended Support Release' is described by

Mozilla:

'Who is it not for?

Individual users who always want the latest features, performance enhancements and technologies in their browser without waiting for them to become available in ESR several development cycles later.'

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

Since starting this post, I loaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on another similar computer I own and use regularly. This was in a dock and connected to an external display. Same problems and reports experienced.

(I did not bother installing plug-ins and deactivated installation before removal of program.)

With 5 installs producing the same error reports, I am convinced Acrobat XI Pro won't work for me on my computers and have little confidence of useful support from Adobe.

THERE ARE SO MANY GLARING PROBLEMS WITH MY INSTALLATIONS WITH THE SUPPORT DESK'S RESPOSES UNHELPFUL AND UNINFORMED. I REALLY DON'T ENJOY DOING ADOBE'S QUALITY CONTROL FOR THEM FOR FREE, BUT I CONTINUE TO POST HERE IN THE HOPE THAT SOMEONE WITH REAL AUTHORITY WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE NOTICE AND ARANGE A FIX OF THE PROBLEMS.

Alert- although ordered in Australia from Australian site and paid in Australian dollars by MasterCard, Adobe chose without warning to process this payment through an overseas account incurring an extra foreign transaction charge for me.

Adobe support to date has been of no use and their billing practices unreasonably expensive.
