Hello,

I just purchased a new computer and am trying to install my Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard.  The download link is no longer available in my Adobe Account.  I do have my serial number but I can't locate the software online.  Please advise.

    I just recently purchased a new computer and wanted to transfer the old Acrobat 8 Standard to this computer.  the Adobe chat helper gave me a link to the Acrobat 9/Acrobat 8 Professional.  But that didn't work.

    I de-activated the Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on my old Lenovo ThinkPad (Windows 7).  I then copied the files from the Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Setup Files to the new drive on the new computer (Dell Windows 10).

    Then I double clicked the "Setup.exe" file on the new computer and it installed.  Only once did it require copying another file - the "AdobePDF.dll" that I found in the Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\I386 folder on my old ThinkPad.

    I had the license number for the Acrobat 8.0 so the installation worked just as if I had downloaded the file.  The original downloaded files must be in the "Setup Files" directory.
