I just installed Acrobat 8 onto my computer. My former computer's hard drive crashed and I had to have the hard drive replaced. I cannot afford to purchase it all over again.

How can I get this product activated?

Thanks!

I guess now I have to try an Adobe clone. Any suggestions?

Tired of the companies that discontinue serial #s on their products in the name of the almighty dollar. I spent good money on it several years ago. Hard pressed to do so. Now I am not working, so cannot afford to purchase it.

As I said earlier, Acrobat Reader DC is free.

I cannot comment on competing PDF apps as I don't use them.

Very sorry about your unemployment situation. I hope you find a new position very soon.

I need to be able to edit the forms - not just read

Acrobat 8 is very old software. I'm sorry to say the aging activation servers for this product stopped working a long time ago and Adobe ended all support for it.

Acrobat Reader DC is free.

If you need more than that, you can buy a 1 year subscription to Acrobat Standard (Windows only) at $12.99/month or Acrobat Pro DC (Win or Mac) for $14.99/month.

You can't, I'm afraid.
