to 8.1.2 2008-02-16 12:02:46 robertob Registered: Feb 16 2008 Posts: 5 Answered The update to Acrobat 8.1.2 fails. Error Message: "Installation Source is not available. Verify that the source exists and you can access it." I have disabled all virus programs. I have tried the automatic update and the manual; neither method works. Does anyone have suggestions for installing the update?

All of them were done smoothly.Acrobat installer asks you whether you want to cache the installation source onto https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-errors-acrobat-reader-windows.html the computer when first time the Acrobat installed onto the computer. I guess that you didn't pick that option for the initial installation and that's why the 8.1.2 updater couldn't find the installation source. Top 2008-02-19 09:41:09 #2 robertob Registered: Feb 16 2008 Posts: 5 I did not cache the 528MB installation file on my hard drive. I saved it to a CD.I copied the 20MB update to the same CD and ran the update from https://acrobatusers.com/forum/deployment-installation/update-acrobat-811-812/ the CD. However the install failed and I got the same error message.How can I tell the install where to find the source file? Would simply copying the file to my hard drive work? What directory should I copy it to?Thanks for your insight.

Instead, you may insert the original installation CD when you perform the update. The updater will search for the source files from the CD directly.Good Luck!

Acrobat Pro installed and patched to version 8.3.1. Note that I've successfully installed Acrobat Pro on Windows 7 64-bit, however the same approach may apply http://blog.stead.id.au/2013/01/installing-adobe-acrobat-pro-8-on.html for 32-bit Windows. I've downloaded the installation program from the Adobe web site here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html Note the software and license keys are provided free, under the rationale of supporting existing customers now http://superuser.com/questions/859323/secret-link-to-get-updates-for-acrobat-professional-8-0 that the license server has been disabled. Run the installer executable. When asked for the folder location to extract files, do not choose the default location (since you won't have permission error installing to save files there). Instead you'll get an error like this. A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on yourcomputer and the write privileges on the destination folder. Follow these steps to complete the installation successfully: Instead choose an alternate temporary location like C:\Acrobat8. After you're advised the Files are Ready, select the option to Launch Adobe Acrobat 8 and click error installing acrobat Finish. I've left Adobe Reader as my default PDF viewer as this is a later version. Enter your personal details, and your serial number. Then choose the installation type. I've chosen a Typical installation. During installation, a dialog will complain that the file "AdobePDF.dll" is needed. Download the file "AdobePDF.dll_64" from the following Adobe support page (or extract that file from data1.cab as instructed).http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html Rename the file to "AdobePDF.dll" and browse for that file in the installer. After installation completes you will have version 8.0.0 active. You can then proceed with applying patches to upgrade to version 8.3.1. The upgrade files are downloaded from the Adobe web site here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows The specific files required are 8.1 (English), 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 8.1.5, 8.1.6, 8.1.7, 8.2, 8.2.2, 8.2.3, 8.2.5, 8.2.6, 8.3 and 8.3.1. Install them in the correct order. You'll probably be requested to reboot multiple times. I ignored most of these requests when it became too time consuming and just rebooted after the last patch. I've done some basic edits in Acrobat and so far it works perfectly for me. Posted by Mark Stead at 2:02 AM Email ThisBlogThis!Sh

Anywhere? As best I can tell, Adobe has removed all updates for Acrobat Professional 8. This link -- http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html -- goes to their product update page.From there I went to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and poked around the obvious and not-so-obvious choices and keep coming up empty. Assuming it really is impossible to get the 8.0 updates from the Adobe site, does anyone know a truly trustworthy source for getting the updates? Background. I've been running Windows 7 and Acrobat 8.0 for several years. Last month I had to scrub my system to rid of a virus. Everything is now re-loaded, but I need the updates for Acrobat 8.0 so that I can take care of a few pesky problems like being able to print to PDF from Quicken 99. Or to right-click from the desktop to combine PDFs into a single file. It was all working before I had to scrub, so I know it's possible to get 64 bit and 32 bit to play nicely together. Normally I save the update exe files for situations exactly like this, i.e., when the vendor removes the files you need to keep running a legacy program. For some dumb reason, I failed to do it for Acrobat Professional 8.0, and though I'm usually pretty handy with web searches to dig up otherwise elusive stuff, this time I'm getting nowhere. windows-7 adobe-acrobat share|improve this question edited Aug 23 at 11:08 Burgi 2,1013929 asked Jan 1 '15 at 19:10 RJo 237214 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted If you sti
