Is this solution still available?  I sort the list at that link alphabetically but I don't see anything that says "Acrobat Pro 2020" nor do I see anything but subscription options when I click on "buy now"

 

Thanks,

I can't find it either. It seems they've decided to make it even more difficult to get, bordering on impossible.

I guess you'll have to contact them directly to get it now:
