Hey guys

New to this forum thing as do not post often.  But i have a pdf that has video in it and t say to open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat 9 or Adobe reader 9 to view it.

I believe i have Adobe acrobat professional 8.0.0 via CS5 suite on my mac / operating on El Capitan.  Can anyone tell me:

1) Is there a one off way to to read this PDF in a online version of Acrobat 9, so i dont need to download another piece of software and take up more space, as i dot believe i use it much.

2) If NO to the first answer, ho do i go about upgrading to the latest version so i can get Acrobat 9 on my system?

Thanks again

i have Adobe acrobat professional 8.0.0

You should update your Acrobat Pro to 8.3.1, it's free.

Just open your PDF with the latest free Acrobat Reader DC which runs fine on El Capitan: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

And be sure to have the Flash Player installed (for the video).

acrobat 8 cannot be updated to acrobat 9.  it can be updated to the last acrobat 8 version.

acrobat 9 is no longer sold by adobe and acrobat 8 is too old to be used to upgrade to the current versions (sold by adobe).

you can buy or subscribe to the latest acrobat versions.

to buy: Adobe products: desktop, web, and mobile applications | Adobe

to subscribe, Plans and pricing | Adobe Acrobat DC
