Installing Acrobat X on Windows 11

Hi,

I purchased CS6 Web Design Premium a few years ago. Today, I'm attempting to install Acrobat Pro 10 on my new desktop running Windows 11, but it's not working; the application launches and then closes automatically. Do you have any tips for installing it on Windows 11? If not, is it possible to obtain a compatible version without having to make another payment?

I couldn't find a contact address to ask the question.

Thanks.

    Adobe Acrobat X is an old and end-of-life application https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/end-of-support-acrobat-x-reader-x.html also, it is not compatible with the new Mac and Windows OS. For information about the system requirements please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/system-requirements-old-versions.html

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for your response. I understand that the software is at the end of its support, but I have paid for it, and it has become unusable (other software in the suite, like Illustrator, continues to work without difficulty). I used it occasionally, which doesn't justify paying a monthly subscription. Furthermore, I have already subscribed to Photoshop and LR, which I had also purchased previously. I would appreciate a gesture from Adobe to allow me to use what I have paid for.

    There won't be an updated version of Acrobat X that runs guaranteed on Windows 11. To get it up and running, you need to create an environment as supported. Probably Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8. If it installed well (which will be most likely a miracle in itself), but does not run, you may try to use the compatibility mode.

     

    It is, however, not guaranteed to run as you expect it. This is not Adobe's fault, this is due to the very profound changes that have been done in the different Windows OS versions.
