How to install acrobat professional 7 on windows 8

Question

I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8.  I have acrobat professional 7 installed on my old computer, unfortunately I downloaded it directly from Adobe and didn't get a CD, I only have my product registration receipt with a serial number.  How can I reinstall on my new computer?
Thanks!

Answer 1

reset your preferences:
Restore the Acrobat Preferences folder (Windows)
Restore the Acrobat Preferences folder to eliminate problems that damaged preferences cause. Most preference problems are caused by these file-based preferences, although most Acrobat preferences are stored within the registry.
Note:  This solution removes custom settings for Collaboration, JavaScripts, Security, Stamps, Color Management, Auto Fill, Web Capture, and Updater. 
Quit Acrobat.
In Windows Explorer, go to the Preferences folder:
(Windows 7/Vista) C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\[version]
(XP) C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\[version]
Move the Preferences folder to another location (for example, C:\Temp).
Restart Acrobat.
If the problem recurs after you restore the Acrobat Preferences folder, then the problem isn’t related to the Preferences folder. To restore custom settings, drag the folder you moved in step 2 back to its original location. Then click Yes To All to replace the new Preferences folder.
Restore the Acrobat preferences files (Mac OS)
Restore the Acrobat preferences files to eliminate problems caused by a damaged preferences file.
Note:  Re-creating the Acrobat preferences files restores settings to their defaults. 
Quit Acrobat.
Drag the following files from the Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop:
Acrobat WebCapture Cookies
com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist or com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist
Acrobat Distiller Prefs and com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist (if you are troubleshooting an issue with Distiller)
The Acrobat folder, which contains preferences for forms (MRUFormsList), collaboration (OfflineDocs), and color settings (AcrobatColor Settings.csf)
Restart Acrobat
If the problem recurs after you restore the Acrobat preferences files, then the problem isn’t related to preferences files. To restore custom settings, drag the files you moved in step 2 back to their original location. Then click OK to the alert “A newer item named ‘[filename]’ already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you're moving?”
