I think the current situation, where we are constantly invited to upgrade, will be short lived. Microsoft has shown the way: upgrades will just happen. When you're trying to work.

Apple have said that 10.14 will run 32-bit apps with big and annoying warnings.

10.15 will not run 32-bit apps at all, so Acrobat 8,9,10 and 11 will all be dead in the water.

There will be no work around.

Shall we presume they will come with ever more increasingly annoying an difficult to circumvent invitations to upgrade?

For Photoshop, 5 years subscription = $600. System changes are getting faster and faster, and incompatibility would now be certain in that time without updates.

Yes, frustrating. New Mac OS. You need a new Acrobat.

Hi! I've just done a fresh install of Mac OS Sierra (not just an upgrade, but I formatted the disk and installed) and of my old CS4 boxed version.

After the famous Java update 6, all the applications worked fine, BUT NOT Acroba 9 Pro. It seemed to open, but not worked. I had the same problem occurring with El Capitan, but with no solution, no uncheck could help me.

So, after some struggles, I found my old dusty cds with all the dmg files of the software updates I received in the past of the CS4 products. I never liked Adobe Updater: manual update is painful and boring, but I learned at my risk that it's better that you never let computers or software decide things in place of you .

So I installed the Acrobat 9.10 update and BANG!

Acrobat 9 PRO now works like a charm on Sierra 10.12.2 too.

And it seems even faster than on Mavericks.

I successfully updated all the Acrobat versions from 9.10 to 9.20. Only the last, the 9.5.1 didn't work. But Acrobat is still part of my arsenal and I have an updated OS.

Hope this could help someone.

Cheers

How can I get a copy of the updater?  I had to contact Adobe Chat and they had me use a link, but this only installed a modified version of 9.0 which does not have a link for updates.  I now have it installed, but I would like to update to the latest update if possible.  Are these updates available somewhere?

Updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Thanks for your response. Is there an Adobe Acrobat Pro version that is not CC or DC that will run on High Sierra. I don't want to rent any more software.

Thank you,
