Adobe only provide current products for download or sale. Those you mention are 20 years old and 17 years old. The current product is Acrobat DC, around $15 per month per single user subscription (NOT for server use), which includes the Distiller app.

Thsnk for reply. 

Am having team license for latest Adobe , but it have Acrobat Distiller 7.0 .

But my client using Acrobat Distiller 5.0 

We have an API for creating PDF from PS files . I can convert single ps file to pdf , but trouble facing when trying to convert batch ps files to pdf

pdfDist.FileToPDF(pathOut & "\Ctc\temp.txt", pathOut & "\Temp\Temp.pdf", "No Downsample")

upb.txt contains belows script which take all ps files in the folder and trying to convert it

/PathName (C:/MyTemp/*.ps) def
/RunDir {
{ /mysave save def
dup = flush
RunFile
clear cleardictstack
mysave restore
}
255 string
filenameforall
} def
PathName RunDir

. Its working fine with Acrobat Distiller 5.0 , but not with Acrobat Distiller 7.0 .

Distiller 7 was part of Acrobat 7, released 17 years ago. It is not part of the "latest Adobe".

When i install Adobe Acrobat Pro DC , version 21.007.20099, Adobe Acrobat Distiller (7) also installed by default.

Anyway we are deviating from the topic.

No, Acrobat Distiller DC installs with Acrobat Pro. Why do you say it is Distiller 7?

If you want to stick to the topic: NO you cannot have what you asked for. It is too old. But I told you that already.

"We have an API for creating PDF from PS files . I can convert single ps file to pdf , but trouble facing when trying to convert batch ps files to pdf"

This kind of workflow comes straight from the 19th century

Is there any latest way to convert multiple post script  files to pdf using adobe and c#.

Yes, the Acrobat SDK is still the same for Acrobat DC. Please answer my question, why you believe you have Distiller 7? Show screen shots as necessary. It is important because you do not seem to be seeing the same as anyone else.

Thanks and appreciate your effort

Ah, years ago, Adobe improved the security in Distiller so it can't read extra files. So I think the ancient "RunFile" technique no longer works. You may need to convert the files separately, then use the Acrobat API to join them. Is this for a server?

Thanks @Test Screen Name 

This is for Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

Ok, for use on a server, you can't use Acrobat (except in the special case of Terminal Server, where each user has an Acrobat license). Server use is not allowed otherwise, and Acrobat is not technically suitable, but Adobe's "Adobe Experience Manager" includes tools for PDF manipulation, for large companies with an enterprise license.

[sendtosreejith]

Ok,

Currently client is using it in their server, may be exceptional case .

I believe you are picking up a line

Compatibility: Acrobat 7.0

in Distiller. This is a setting for output files, NOT the software version.

To find the actual version is not so easy since Distiller does NOT have a Help > About. But you can check the Properties of the acrodist.exe file. Like this:

Thanks. This is Distiller from Acrobat DC, the current product and fully up to date. (We call this version 21.7.20091 or 2021.007.20091); the 20091 part is important.

Is this a valid one . Can we trust this ?

NOBODY has the right to distribute anything from Adobe except Adobe. This is therefore an illegal copy of whatever it was (I'm certainly not going to download it to find out!!! Pirate software is the fastest route to malware).

What are you even looking for? The COM interfaces for Acrobat are included with the install. There is nothing to download AND IT IS NOT REDISTRIBUTABLE.

Ok,

Thanks for the info
