Acrobat 7 stops working, asked for reinstall

Question

I ran Clean My Mac, and after, Acrobat and Distiller (7) refused to load, saying I should reinstall from my original CDs. Well, I didn't originally load them from CDs, but via download. How do I reinstall without resorting to CDs. (Yes, my prior backups failed me in this instance, too.) And no, I don't want to purchase Acrobat 9, just reinstall 7.) Any clues about how I might accomplish this? Thanks. david

When Acrobat 6 came out there was a Standard Version. However there were so many Complaints that you could actually do the same or less with it than the Mac's on internal Acrobat engine, it was dropped as of version. In the PC world there is a Standrd version all it does is Make PDF's. You can's do anything but just very basic stuff. The Pro Version In Mac was equivelent to what was in Acrobat 5 e version. (woud do everything except the Print press stuff). In PC Much the same. PC's also have an extended version inwhich you can use XML. There never has been and most likley never be an extended version for mac.
Now, starting in Version 7 there is Pro version only for Mac. There is no reason for a Standard version since since what's in a Standard Package the mac system can already do.  PC viewing system is not based on PDF so, even a Standard version is needed.
