How to a download the setup file for Acrobat 11

[Mark36193793rtfv]

I puchased Acrobat 11 PRO from Amazon as a CD in Febuary 2014.  I have my license number and my invoice. However, I can't find my CD. I am doing a new install of windows 10 on a new hard drive on the same computer Acrobat 11 has always resided. My old hard drive developed problems that corrupted files and I needed to get a new drive and start over with a clean install of Win10 Pro and all my programs. I am very happy with my old Acrobat 11 and I do not need or desire to upgrade.  Is it possible to download the setup file for Acrobat 11?  Thank you

use the prodesigntools link below:

1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesigntools.com*.

3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links**.

---------------------------------------------------------------
* most (but not all) adobe download links are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

follow the directions (esp, step 1)

save the install file. it may not remain online.

** this support is currently not available. ie, there's a significant gap (between 2019 and last year) in the available previous versions.

opposition to this decision (to limit available previous versions) has been conveyed to adobe officials who are therefore aware of the problems caused by this policy. however, unless/until changes are made, nothing can be done to legally access these files.

Be sure to copy the install file to at least one external device (USB flash drive or write to a CD) in case your new drive goes bad
