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 have just purchased a new computer, my old one from 2010 had acrobat 8 standard on it. am unable to find and download any copy of the acrobat 8 standard to reinstall on new computer. how do i get my acrobat 8 back on my new computer. my serial key has 20 numbers

I don't know of any links to download Acrobat 8 Standard. Only Pro.

my serial key has 20 numbers

That number is incomplete. Did you get it from the Help > About screen? That screen deliberately truncates the last 4 digits.

A valid serial number has 24 digits.

yes i got serial # from help about screen, can not find original. so what is my remedy if i can't download acrobat 8 standard

I don't know of any way to download Acrobat 8 Standard.

As for finding the full, valid serial number

Find your Adobe product serial number quickly

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.
