Need Acrobat X Pro Upgrade Installation

Report · Jun 09, 2023

I realize this is a long shot but hope someone in the comunity can help. I have license number for Acrobat X Pro that is an upgrade from verion 8 or 9. I have the Version 8 install media that I originally used to upgrade from. But I cannot find the install media for Acrobat 10x Pro.

I'm moving to Windows 11 and hoping to be able to install it. Acrobat X Pro has been all I've needed on Windows 7, but alas nothing runs anymore on Windows 7 so hence I've upgraded!

I've seen other posts that are older and refer to the files and locations, but those all redirect now to 2017 and 2020 versions which I don;t have licenses for.

Any help at all??? (would be GREATLY appreciated!!)

ahhh nevermind! Spent more time searching for answer when I should heve first8 verified I could install the version 8 I have. I can't! Windows 11 reports missing files when I access the CD through a share on my original laptop. Down in the weeds or a rabbit hole now. I guess it was worth a try. "Next time I'll work smarter, not...."

Hi @John Long Time

We appreciate that you took out time to update the discussion.

Acrobat 8,9 and 10 are the extremely old version of the Acrobat series. These won't work on windows 11 as they are not tested for compatibility with the latest OS.

Also, the activation server for Acrobat 8 has been disabled. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/end-support-acrobat-8-reader.html

Thanks,

You don't need to install that version. If you have the serial number for it that should be sufficient. You just enter it during the installation of Acrobat XI and it should proceed.
