windows 7 - Secret link to get updates for Acrobat Professional 8.0?


Finding the Acrobat Pro 8.0 Updates ... Anywhere? As best I can tell, Adobe has removed all updates for Acrobat Professional 8.


This link -- http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html -- goes to their product update page.From there I went to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and poked around the obvious and not-so-obvious choices and keep coming up empty.


Assuming it really is impossible to get the 8.0 updates from the Adobe site, does anyone know a truly trustworthy source for getting the updates?


Background. I've been running Windows 7 and Acrobat 8.0 for several years. Last month I had to scrub my system to rid of a virus. Everything is now re-loaded, but I need the updates for Acrobat 8.0 so that I can take care of a few pesky problems like being able to print to PDF from Quicken 99. Or to right-click from the desktop to combine PDFs into a single file.


It was all working before I had to scrub, so I know it's possible to get 64 bit and 32 bit to play nicely together.


Normally I save the update exe files for situations exactly like this, i.e., when the vendor removes the files you need to keep running a legacy program. For some dumb reason, I failed to do it for Acrobat Professional 8.0, and though I'm usually pretty handy with web searches to dig up otherwise elusive stuff, this time I'm getting nowhere.



Answer



If you still have a serial key for it, this installs version 8.1.0:
