Ipurchased this product a number of years ago.

Just replaced my desktop PC and would like to continue to use this Adobe product but cannot download it.

I simply use it to open, modify or send documents, nothing too fancy 🙂

I have my serial key for the product

Please help

Acrobat 8 and CS3 are officially dead. 

The activation servers are long gone and installers are no longer available.   After 12 years, it's time to get modern software.

 

Acrobat Reader DC is free.  If you need more than that, get a 1 year subscription to Acrobat Standard DC or Acrobat Pro DC for a monthly fee of $13 or $15 respectively.

I have the same problem...got a new computer and now can't move my adobe acrobat 8 professional to new computer.  I have tried the newer version and it doens't work the same way and is much harder to make text boxes and modify.  Is there anyway to activate my adobe 8?
