Error downloading trial of Acrobat XI

I have tried several times to download a trial of Acrobat XI. I save the assistant and then when I open it this error pops up...
     The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
Any suggestions?

try a different browser and/or a different (wired) connection and/or a download manager or use a below link
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Standard and Reader: Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?

    Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?  I get an error message.  I click the download:  "Install Adobe Download Assistant", then click on it, see Adobe AIR application instaler, then get "Sorry, and error has occurred.  This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."   If I knew who the application author was, I'd contact him!  Thanks, Pete

    Hey PetaPete,
    There are some known issues when downloading Adobe Download Assistant which you can find at:
    Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
    So, you might alternatively need to try downloading Acrobat from the link given below:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
    Note:
    1) You need to stay on the Adobe trial page for the respective product that you're downloading. You should be signed in.
    2) Copy/ Paste trial link for the files that you're downloading from Prodesigntools on to the address bar of Adobe trial page and hit enter.

  • Download trial version Acrobat Pro 9

    Hi
    Tryng to download trial version Acrobat Pro 9 with no success - download manager instantly registers an error with no further information.  How hard can it be? Yes, I've been through the download help link...
    Cheers...

    Can't really read your graphic. In any case, just download it to a local folder. Then run the program. Don't put it in the run mode that will start the program as you download.

  • How do I download trial adobe acrobat?

    All I am trying to do is to try the adobe acrobat trial before making a decision to purchase it.  So far, I am simply getting a ton of other prompts.

    What type of prompts are you getting?  Which operating system are you using?  You should be able to download the Acrobat trial from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en.

  • Error downloading Trial version Project Professional IT x86

    When I try to download the italian trial version from here  http://technet.microsoft.com/it-it/evalcenter/hh973401.aspx the download doesn't start. No problem when I try to download another language version (ex. US version) but there is an error when
    the applet on the right of the page should show the status downloading bar.
    It's the same for different workstation (Win xp, 7, smartphone) and different browsers.
    How can I download the Project Professional Italian Trial version?
    Thanks!

    Sounds like you have a corrupt or partial download. I would
    try
    downloading again

  • Error 1061 when downloading free trial of Acrobat XI Pro

    I am attempting to download a free trial of Acrobat XI Pro on a PC running Windows 8.  While downloading, I receive an error message of "Windows Search Error 1061:  The service cannot accept control messages at this time."  I have tried stopping the Windows Search service through the admin services in my Control Panel but receive a similar message (or one indicating that other services dependant upon Windows Search are running).  Can I "ignore" this error and continue to succesfully download the trial version?  Or, is there a way to stop this service until the download is completed?  I am not an IT professional, so any advice is appreciated.

    Don't know, but I would suggest to just try ignoring it and seeing if you get a successful download. Of course, when you install you need to be logged in as the administrator and disable anti-virus. An online search for the error suggests the problem is a WIndows configuration issue. The one site I found had a fix tool, but I do not generally recommend downloading such fix files. Another site suggests a corrupt registry.
    You might try the CCleaner tool to see if that can help with the registry. However, I would just continue with the download if you can and see if it works.

    Trying to download the Trial of Acrobat DC but when I get to the page that says "when your download is complete, you will be able to start using Acrobat" nothing happens. The download never starts.
