    Hi @17749814,

    Adobe Acrobat 8 was discontinued a long time ago. The aging activation servers were taken down.  So even if you have an installer and old operating system to support it, you cannot activate it.

     

    Get the the latest 2021 Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro DC.

    Furthermore, Acrobat 8 (or even Reader 😎 won't even install much less run on any version of MacOS from the last half dozen years or so.
