Adobe Acrobat on Windows 8.1

I have experienced the same problem with Acrobat 7 on a brand new HP running Windows 8.1, whilst it did run on the older PC on Windows 8 .

I deleted the updates KB2917929  and others referred to in earlier mails with no success. I have now downloaded  Adobe 8 from the site Arielil refers to ( MANY THANKS !!), found the same requirement for adobePdf.dll file, found it ( and I am 69 !), and it seems to work just fine .

 Now just worried that I will have more glitches with Windows 8.1.....

Thanks for sharing on this site !

Find it free at http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4683-adobe-acrobat-8.html,,  install it in Compatible mode for XP service pack 3.  The only snag I had was that it needed adobePdf.dll file in the middle of the installation which did not cause a problem since the installation simply paused until I found the file and then continued flawlessly.. which you will have to browse for in your windows folder stored on the pc.   Once in the windows folder look for " Syswow64"  It will be in there.  I successfully installed on 8.1,

Good luck and beware of future updates!

Hello,  

I have been having the same problem.  I even installed it in xp pro compatibility mode.   I read through all the posts here and searched for the windows update KB2917929  .  However, it is not listed as any of the updates that I have.  I then uninstalled all the other windows updates but there was no change.  I still receive the same error.  At this point, my laptop already updated the window updates automatically.  Would someone provide an answer for me so I can get my Acrobat Pro 7 working on this new laptop?  This  Windows 8 is most disappointing.

Thanks

Perfect! Works for Acrobat Pro 8 too.
