Can acrobat 8 be made compatible with windows 8?

can acrobat 8 be made compatible with windows8?

An upgrade is probably needed. Have you tried to run it. Of course, after installation you would need to install any updates, particularly with a 64-bit system. It may still not work, or it may be that parts do not work. To check the parts you would have to go through various stages of testing. You will likely find some things that work and others that don't. If something does not work, then it would the time to try to find a workaround. You might get lucky, but don't expect miracles.

  • Can Mac OS 8.6 be made compatible with Windows?

    I have one of the first iMacs (8/98) that was originally OS 8.0. It's been upgraded to 8.6 with 64mgs RAM.
    I'm starting my own business and need to be able to access MS Window-built sites that have "Audio" icons that, currently, don't work for me. I installed Windows Media Player 7, and sometimes it actually works.
    Any suggestions on how to make my old computer more compatible with Window's applications?

    In this case, your problem is not Mac and Windows compatibility. It's the old technology (your Mac OS 8.6 software) that won't play the media created by the newer technology (whatever you're finding on your website).
    Keep in mind that computers are not appliances. A toaster, for example, has a specific function and will always do that function until its hardware falls apart (my parents had one for 15 years). But a computer's functions can be altered over the years by upgrading and updating the operating system and application software.
    In your case, you have old hardware too. You can do a few of things.
    1. Your hardware will easily support upgrading your operating system to Mac OS 9. This OS is old too and no longer made, but you can find it second-hand online (Amazon.com) for about $35-$40. Then you can download the latest versions of Windows Media Player and Real Player for Mac OS 9.
    2. You can buy a new (brand new or a couple of years old) Mac laptop, which will be compatible with just about everything you'd like. It will also be compatible with future software updates and upgrades for a few years to come.
    3. You can buy a new (brand new or a couple of years old) Windows computer to ensure 100% compatibility with other Windows computers.
    The bottom line is that you just need something newer. I suggest looking into the Mac OS 9 upgrade first. It's the cheapest potential fix for you. But it's not a guarantee.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Is there anything I can do to make Acrobat Pro 6 compatible with Windows 7?

    Hello,
    I have a brand new Windows 7 laptop and I'm trying to use Adobe Acrobat Professional 6 on it. I ran the installation without a problem, however when I try to use it, I get an error message, which says that Adobe Acrobat Professional 6 is not compatible with Windows 7 operating system. Is there any driver or anything that I can download to make it work? Thank you in advance for any help.

    Win 7 either comes with a virtural XP machine installed, or it's freelly availible.  I forget which, but this may be a simple solution to your issue.

  • Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

    When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

    Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
    If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

  • How can I make Acrobat 6 Pro compatible with Windows 7?

    When I load Acrobat 6 Pro on my Windows 7 laptop I get a message stating it isn't compatible.  Is there a fix for this issue?

    If you were able to install it with Acrobat and Distiller opening if selected, there is a chance. However, it is a work around. The problem is typically the print driver and Acrotray. The work around (if these two basic programs run) is to install a color PS printer (may be one of the HP printers or even a PS printer from Adobe), rename it to Adobe PDF, and set the port to FILE. To print or use PDF Maker, you print to this Adobe PDF printer that you have created. Then open the file created in Distiller to obtain a PDF. I have done this with AA7 on a WIn7, 64-bit, and with AA5 (naming the printer Acrobat Distiller) on Win7, 32-bit, for testing.
    Also, be sure to install the updates to Acrobat. You will likely have to download them from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

  • What is oldest Acrobat (full) version compatible with Windows 8.1, 64-bit?

    I am thinking about vers. X, but would like to know this answer first - thanks

    Based on the site System requirements | Acrobat family of products - Older Versions (XI, X, 9), you need AA XI. However, as far as I know AA X runs on Win8.1 and I even think 9 and maybe 8 will run, though not supported for Win8.1. AA X is no longer available from Adobe. Any third party purchases can be very risky, so be very careful with such a purchase. At this point, I would suggest AA DC instead.

  • Adobe Acrobat 6.0 not compatible with windows 7

    Hello,
    Some years ago I bought Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which I placed on my old computer. Now I have a new computer with windows 7 and the acrobat 6.0 version apears not compatible with this windows version. Does anyone know a solution?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best wishes,
    Arjen

    If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can download Windows XP Mode and attempt to install Adobe Acrobat 6 in the virtual environment. Windows XP Mode uses Windows Virtual PC to run a full Windows XP Professional 32 bit environment virtually, and it is a free download. A limitation you may encounter is that the PDF printer will not be accessible from your Windows 7 programs, only from programs which are installed in the Windows XP Mode environment.
    This subject has been discussed on several forums, and while Acrobat version 6 does install and work for some users, the PDF printer does not install on Windows 7. Version 9 was the first version which was compatible with Windows 7, so if this is critical to you, you should consider upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat.

  • Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  Need replacement that will work.

    adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  need a replacement that will work.  any suggestions.

    I would recommend Acrobat 10.  You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.  It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

  • Is there an update to make Acrobat Pro 6.0 compatible with Windows 7?

    I have been using Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 on a Windows XP OS, but as of 4/8/2014 XP is no longer supported. So, I did Easy Transfer from XP to a computer using Windows 7. When I installed my Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 software on the Windows 7 computer, I received a message that it was not compatible with Windows 7. Is there an update or work around that will allow me to use the 6.0 version with my Windows 7 computer?  This is software I've used daily for years and need it, but can't afford to buy new version right now. Any help would be appreciated.

    I am suggesting you keep the XP computer permanently disconnected, and have your new computer connected to the internet. You can move files between them with a memory stick.
    (Worth considering that Windows is not the only thing with security issues which need fixing. By continuing to run an old Acrobat you have been deprived of security patches for many years. Only Acrobat X and XI are in the "currently supported" category. You should consider this carefully for all your apps, the bad guys could attack ANYTHING.)
