What sort of help would you be looking for? We can certainly tell you that Acrobat 8, 9 and 10 are too old to get security updates, which is not best practice.

But are you rushing to judgement here - are you SURE you were hacked rather than suffering a technical failure?

If your machine was hacked, and a PDF changed, this is no evidence that Acrobat was hacked at all.

And if it was hacked your computer should be taken offline immediately until it can be rebuilt or cleaned by an expert. It may also be that passwords were compromised rather than the computer.

It looks more like an PDF overlay. The original looks distorted. I have read where Adobe CS 5 can remove the overlay, however, i have Adobe elements 9, but i don't know if it incorporates all of CS5. I have read instructions that CS5 is the only program that will remove an overlay to expose the original document. Hmm?

Hi ,

It seems like you are on an older version of Acrobat ,i.e Acrobat 8,right?

It is an unsupported version of Acrobat ,there nothing much we could do about this.
