2.4 Designer installation considerations

By default, the Workbench installation includes a corresponding English-only version of Designer. If the Workbench installation application detects an existing version of Designer on your computer, the installation may terminate and you will be required to remove the current version of Designer before you can continue.

The table below has a complete list of possible Designer installation scenarios that you may encounter, as well as any actions you must take, when installing Workbench.

Version of Designer 10 currently installed

Required actions

Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended (includes Designer)

None. The Workbench installation detects an instance of Designer on your computer that was installed with either Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended.

Different versions of Designer can coexist on the same system, for example Designer 8.2.x and 9.0.x. It is not necessary to uninstall the version of Designer installed with Acrobat 10 Pro or Acrobat 10 Pro Extended.

Designer (stand-alone)

None. The version of Designer included with Workbench is English-only. The Workbench installer will not reinstall a new version of Designer. Instead an updated version, bundled with the Workbench installer, will be patched. This also allows you to use your localized version of Designer within Workbench.
