Acrobat 9.0 Standard Update Steps and Order

[johnnyZ]

I'm running Windows 10 Pro.  I'm trying to update from Ver. 9.0 Standard to Ver. 9.5.5 Standard.

I downloaded all of the update files for Version 9.0 Standard. (37 in all)

I've read that this could be tricky and I really don't want to screw it up.

My questions are:

1. What is the difference, for example, between an AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp and an AcrobatUpd920_all_me_incr.msp file?

Some files just say all_incr.msp and some say all_me_incr.msp  (Some have "me" in the file name.)

2. Do I need to run all 37 of these individual files?

3. Is there a specific order that I have to run these files?

Thanks for your help.

1. Wow, this is ancient stuff, but I believe "me" stood for "Middle East", ie. the version of Acrobat that supported RTL languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. If you don't have that one, just ignore these files.

2. Yes

3. In ascending order from the first to the last version number.

Hey Try67,

Actually, after all this, I bit the bullet and purchased Adobe Acrobat 2020 Perpetual License directly from Adobe.  I decided that going through the upgrade by running all of those files was doing too much work just to go from Version 9.0 to Ver. 9.5.5, and not be certain that I would have had any issues later.  My wife convinced me that it was worth the $382.00.  Thanks for your help and good advice.

Thanks for posting this.  Do you know whether the 37 files are still available somewhere?  I wasn't able to find them.  Perhaps they were deleted earlier this year.
