Question

I need Acrobat 11 Pro

Hi Guys,

 

I have a small digital printing company and have been using Adobe software for 20+ years - I have had, and currently do have 3 paid CC subscriptions.  For many of those years we have used a 3rd party Acrobat plug in for impostion of files - i.e. laying out multiple images onto a sheet for printing.  Unfortunately, updates for this plug in has ceased and it doesn't work with later versions of Acrobat.  The only available alternate options are very (very) expensive subscription based software that we just don't need.

 

My issue is ... this plug in works great with all verions upto 11.  I now need to rebuild a couple of PC's and need to re-install Acrobat 11 Pro to use this, and whilst I can install, it times out after 30 days.  I don't have serial numbers available for these installs.

 

So ... how can I fix this - more than happy to pay for a serial number(s), although as I have a full paid CC subscription, why can't I just add to my exsisting?  I totally understand Acrobat 11 is end of life, I don't care, I don't neede support for the product, and would happily use the latest version if my old plug in worked.

 

Any advice appreciated

 

Thanks

@andrewc49353437 it's been awhile the last time I did serious imposition as I use InDesign and send my files to the commercial printers; I used to do pre-press and commercial printers work, and we had used 'Quite Imposing Plus,' but it's been since over 25 years — not sure they are still around. I just checked besides their website hasn't changed from 2000's, you can indeed upgrade it. Check to see if a newer plugin is available. Granted, if you are a business, and circumventing in buying a lgitimate version of a plugin which really should be more than a hundred bucks, it's a small price to pay which can be written off as a business expense. 

I wouldn't even suggest in trying to get a 'crack' or 'pirated' software because that is likely 'laced' with malicious malware, and also it's illegal! Here is a link with regards to Legacy apps, such as Acrobat 11: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/apps/troubleshoot/licensing-activation-issues/cant-activate-reinstall-legacy-apps.html

I might have an older Acrobat 11 Pro for the Mac back in the day as I was working for a start-up during that time, but, I would think giving that srial number is likely illegal too!

Thanks for your reply,

 

The plugin I have used for "ever" is "PDF Snake" - we have a fully paid version we purchased for multiple users for.  It's a great, simple, easy to use bit of software.  Quite Impossing is still around, and is very good ... but it does alot more than we need, and is a $4000+ product now - the extra expense is just not justified, as we already own a product that does what we need.

 

I have tried to activate as per the link you supplied, and I can do everything except the serial number.  It's a bit annoying as, previously we have had multplie licenses Acrobat 11 Pro and used it for years.  We still pay our monthly license fee to Adobe.  I don't want to use pirtae software etc ... I just need 2 serials numbers 🙂
