Why is Acrobat 8 Standard no longer available?

Hello,
In 2007 I purchased Acrobat 8 Standard for EUR 349,00. As a translator I use the programm often and I would just like to keep using it. I had to uninstall the programm and unfortunately I couldn't find the install-files on my computer. So the only thing I need now is a download link to the install files of Adobe 8 Standard.
But in this forum I learned that Acrobat 8 Standard just isn't available anymore, fellow forum users are advised to just purchase a new version. A new version would cost me EUR 422,99! I find this answer extremely uncooperative. As a translator I'm used to product updates and I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable amount for an Adobe-update. But buy a completely new version, just because Adobe doesn't allow us to download an "extremely" old version? I was never warned that one day my purchase wouldn't be available anymore or that updating would be impossible.
Please help me and all the others that have bought Acrobat 8 Standard once and aren't allowed to use it anymore!
Thanks
Margot

Hi Margo ,
I am extremely sorry that you are experiencing such an issue ,however this is true that Acrobat 8 standard is no longer available as it is quite an older version .
Adobe stops selling its older products once the new version is in the market .As of now the latest version of Acrobat available is Acrobat DC .
You have an option of subscribing for it rather than purchasing the software .You would be charged monthly and the amount is quite affordable as well .
The other option is you could connect with any of the Adobe Reseller and check with them if they have any copies of older Acrobat version ,but we could not assure you whether your purpose would be solved or not .
Adobe would not be of much help in this case .
Regards
Sukrit Dhingra

    Why is the MacBook Pro no longer available in a 17" screen?

    No one here knows why Apple decided to discontinue the 17" screen.  This is a user to user community.  Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of this website.  Write a letter to Apple & ask them.  If they respond please post it. 

  • Why is Coldplay Live 2012 no longer available in the iTune store, and did my previous purchase of that content vanish from my iCloud ? library

    Still wondering the same thing. Why is Coldplay's beautiful LIVE 2012 content no longer available on iTunes ? Since I have previously purchased this concert movie , why is it no longer in the iCloud servers available to download or even more strange why is the 2003 concert movie available and not 2012 Live ?
    I have talked with support and they have been great but the mystery has yet to be solved ! I have notified the Coldplay official website, and within the current
    wave of new album buzz and promotion a 2012 piece of art can be ignored.
    After watching the NBC special i immediately have fond memories of 2012 LIVE and I know it is available as a blue ray , so all is not lost, but in this new era of cloud computing from an iPad Air , aside from backing up on an airport extreme router , I can always hope my content will return considering the meta data of my previous purchase should push it back to my iCloud library. Meanwhile whether it's licensing, country regions of sale , or a server software glitch , who knows ,the wireless experiment must go on ! Even if it's repackaged the aesthetic value of that piece is worth repurchase !
    Let me know concert movie fans if similar mishaps have effected your iCloud libraries.

    I did not fail to keep a local copy. Fortunately, I have an iMac and I downloaded the movie when it was still in my purchased items list.  I would imagine, however, that there are many people who only own an iPad/iPhone and/or an Apple TV and don't own a computer and therefore lost the ability to stream this item from iTunes.  This, after all, was the promise of the "Post-PC world" that Apple was "ushering in" (and yes, I recognize that the person who said this at the 2011 WWDC keynote - the SVP of  iOS Software - is no longer employed by Apple). 
    And I do understand that content creators can remove items from the store, or modify "something" in the original (perhaps that even applies to "modified" artwork) and require people to re-purchase the item.  In fact, I hope it occurs more often with movies, and perhaps even TV shows and music and books (sorry, you have to re-purchase the book because we replaced the original with one containing a new forward).  Maybe then people will see that they are not actually "purchasing" the items at all, and that the whole "iTunes in the Cloud" is, at best, nothing more than a marketing gimmick.   

  • Why is The Daily Show no longer available in UK iTunes Store?

    I've noticed Jon Stewarts The Daily Show is no longer available in the UK iTunes Store.
    Will this be permanent?

    Sorry, but you don't. None of us here, who are all just fellow users, know why the Daily Show was removed from any iTunes Store. It was certainly by request of the owner(s) of the show, but what their reasons are none of us here can say and Apple never comments on the reasons for lack of availability of any content.

  • Why is the Black Swan no longer available in the US store?

    Why is the movie the Black Swan no longer available in the US store and does any know when it will again be available for purchase / rent?

    Hi...
    This being a user to user forum, not Apple, we have no way of knowing Apple's policy regarding the availablity of movies sold or rented from the iTunes Store.
    However, you can start a wish list.
    In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
    Find the song, video, or album you want to add.
    Click the arrow to the right of the Buy button for the item you want to add:
    From the menu that appears, choose “Add to Wish List:”

  • Why are BBC radio stations no longer available on Apple TV?

    The BBC radio stations are suddenly no longer available via my Apple TV.
    This has happened before but they came back again.
    Is there a reason for this?

    It appears the BBC no longer provides a high and low rate stream for each station. I had BBC Radio 6 Music High as a favourite which stopped working about a week ago. A couple days later a message came up saying that station was no longer available and offering to remove it as a favourite. I went back to the Alternative category and found it just listed as BBC Radio 6 Music which works. I now have that as a favourite.
    There is now a single listing for the other Beeb stations. BBC Radio 1 is under Top 40/Pop, Radio 2 is under Adult Contemporary, Radio 3 under Classical and Radios 4 & 5 under News/Talk. I dont know if some of the specialty stations are there, or if they were even there before.

  • HT2534 Why is the "None" option no longer available?

    Why can I no longer enter the iTunes store without a credit card?  My company has purchased 15 to 20 iPads and we were originally able to download free apps through our MDM without needing to enter a credit card on each device iTunes account.  Now all the sudden we need credit card information?

    Hello FowlerServices,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The following article explains why you are getting prompted to enter payment information for the Apple ID.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

  • Why is the 15" powerbook no longer available?

    Assuming the plan is to discontinue making them - Are they just the first to clear out of Apple's inventory?
    I do see they are still available thru Amazon and the like.
    Perhaps a new configuration will appear next month at Apple's 30th Anniversary? Perhaps they figured out how to cool down a G5 Powerbook?
    In any case, if ya know why the 15" is no more on the Apple site I'd appreciate yer heads up. Much thanx.

    I too decided against the MBP. The "old" PB is plenty fast for my needs, but it also let me keep my array of power adapters, PCMCIA cards, Double Layer DVDs, 60 extra vertical pixels, modem, Firewire 800, cases, adapters, covers, etc. All my $$$ of software is PPC native. All told, going with the PB1.67g actually saved me over $1000 in new gear. If you ever feel regret for not getting the latest PB, post back here and I'll help you through it.
    I just realized I have owned the Powerbook G4 "bookends": the 400mhz Titanium and the 1.67ghz Aluminum. Five gears of the G4 portables was a pretty good run. I wonder what we'll have in another 5 years?

  • Why iTunes new episode but no longer available?

    Peep Show series 5, living in extra channel 4 land. New episode and buy episode click button, only it doesn't work until saturday around the next day. That's no good and it has happened three weeks in a row. This is no good iTunes if it is not going to be available until next day then don't make out that it otherwise.
    Why is this happening every week?

    But why advertise it as available some 12-24 hours before it actually is though? Why not just wait until the content is there before adding the button.
    Where does Apple advertise that every show is available within that timeframe? Every statement that I recall from Apple on TV shows was that it was as early as 24 hours after airing. From their [main page on tv shows|http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/tvshows.html]
    For as little as $1.99, you can own the latest episode of your favorite show as early as one day after it airs, or purchase past episodes that you missed (or want to watch over and over).

  • Why is icamera hdr app no longer available?

    I really wanted this app to start doing photo editing cuz there are none that compare to it, so i added a phone line and got a phone and now i cant get this app? Is there anyway to still get this app?

    Looks like they ditched it to develop a new app.. Search "Fotor HDR-Multistyle HDR Camera", this looks like their new app.

  • Need Acrobat 9 Standard download

    I lost my original CD and still have the SN listed in my account details, but can't find a link to the download in 'My Account', or otherwise on the Adobe website...
    Can the software be downloaded anywhere from a genuine Adobe source?

    Pawleysisland and Landis Law Acrobat 9 Standard was not available as trial thus there was not a publically available download of Acrobat 9 Standard which was made available.  If you choose the download option at the time of purchase then you will be given the option to download the software again under your account.  If you believe you choose the download option but it is not showing as available then please contact our support team at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.
    If you choose to receive the installation files on CD then I am not aware of an available method to obtain Acrobat 9 Standard.  If your Acrobat 9 serial number is registered you can qualify for the upgrade pricing for Acrobat 11 Standard.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.
