Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard disappeared

[Gerald5E7B]

My Adobe Acrobat Reader DC just updated to a 64 bit version and the process seems to have deleted my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, which I use to update pdf's.  I want to get it back.

Then it must have been the Grinch dressed as Acrobat Reader DC because only Adobe updates would mess with it.

It certainly was a complete delete here, silent, but no trace of Acrobat 9 remaining.

Actually it deleted the program files but left behind a few directories, deleated the licensing service, the PDF printer, menu shortcuts, etc., but it did not remove many of the program registry entries except for file associations and such. Uninstaller file and information were also removed so there was no way to uninstall remnants other than manually.

Bernd,

Then what happened to my Acrobat 9.0 exe file?  All of hte file folders are still there in the Program Files folder.  However they are all empty.  Either put the file merge and editing functionality into reader DC of give us a way to reinstall a fully updated version of Acrobat 9.0 that was stolen from us.  Or show us where we all agreed to your planned obselense theft when we purchased 9.0.

Bernd,

You must be running for political office.  I don't care if a Reader DC update removed Acrobat 9 directly or indirectly led to 9 being deleted, in the end Adobe did the dirty deed and needs to be called out on it.   Not a peep from them about this mess they have caused.  And not the only case of their corporate malfeasance in recent history based on hubris and most likely greed.

That is absolutely untrue!
