Download and installation help for Adobe links

Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

I would also agree and not recommend Acrobat 8 and sierra if that is what you are trying to do.

[sophieb38209933]

Thank you.  It's just that I have very limited needs and my old adobe8 has served me well! It seems to be very expensive to upgrade so I was trying to see if I could make that work first

[sophieb38209933]

Thanks but when I click on that link, it says that its not available for mac!

[kglad]

then there's no acrobat 8 pro trial available for mac.

there's no legal work-around unless have the installation files and/or a link to the fully license program.

[jbm007]

Are you talking about Acrobat 8 Professional?

What is your website link?

[jbm007]

He is right.

Acrobat 9 was the first version that was offered for the MAC OS as a downloadable version.

[sophieb38209933]

Ok I am confused, I have it on my old mac (2013 mac) and it says it's an 8 professional.  It was a CD I purchased (that came with my scan snap scanner) that I can't find (and the new mac doesnt have a CD drive)but I have my license number.  I appreciate all the responses though

[kglad]

why the confusion?

you need your cd to install that program.  it was never downloadable and still is not downloadable.  in addition, adobe no longer will replace that disc.

[sophieb38209933]

ok I appreciate all the feedback.  took me a day but I found the disc, found an external drive, a dungle, the activation code, made it through downloading but you were all right, its not opening on mac sierra. I am looking at my purchasing upgrade options and I really only need this to be able to extract pages, is there a cheaper version than the 449 DC pro that will do that?  thanks for your help

If you only need to extract pages you can do that with Preview.

- Your version is too old to qualify for an upgrade.

- If you want to use Adobe software to do it, Acrobat Pro is your only option. You can subscribe to it on a monthly/yearly basis, though, instead of purchasing a perpetual license.

if you just want to extract files you should check google chrome browser.  i think it has a print pdf option that allow you to select pages to print.
