Reinstalling Acrobat Pro 9 without a disc drive?

[evanh83445683]

Hi. 

Years ago, I bought Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for MacOS on DVD.  Since then I transferred it successfully to a newer computer (MacBook Air, no disc drive), but have just recently had to reboot the computer from the startup disc.  Now I can't reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, because I have no disc drive.  I still have the disc and the box, though, including the serial number sticker on the back. 

Is it possible to download the files from somewhere, and reinstall/reauthorise using the product key?

Thanks,

Evan

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'.

Thanks for the links!  I don't see Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac on that list - am I blind, or is it not available?

Hi evanh83445683,

You may download the installer from this link: Download Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9

Please feel free to update the discussion if you need further help.

Is it possible that 9 will no longer work with macOS Sierra?  I was able to download it (thank you for the direct link!) but when I try to open it, it gives me "Acrobat" in the menu at the top, but nothing underneath that - no drop-down menu - and I can't open any pdfs with anything other than Preview.

Thanks,

Evan

Also plug-in disk drives are inexpensive, easy to use, and rescue all your old disks from expensive oblivion.

it's right there at the acrobat 9 link

Kglad, Where is that link for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and will it work on High Sierra 10.13.6? I have my serial number, just can't find my disk.

Likely it won't work.

Curses!  Thanks for your help anyway - much appreciated.
