Here is from https://josephlo.wordpress.com/2013/...y-from-adobe/:

In case you have not heard, Adobe is giving away older versions of their software and this includes Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro. This is to me an unexpected move by Adobe to curb piracy of their software. No, this is not a scam. I am not sure how long this offer will last but it will be wise to download this while you still can.

You will need to register for a free account with Adobe in order to download this and registration is free of course.
Sure. The software is an older version 8. The latest version is version 11 as of this writing. But something that is older does not mean it is not functional and just as useful.
So now no one has an excuse not to start off with their paperless journey

A caveat from http://downloads.pcauthority.com.au/..._professional:
Quote:
Be aware, though, the program was originally written for use on Windows 2000 and XP, and trying to run it on a modern PC may result in all kinds of issues. We managed to set it up on a Windows 7 x64 system regardless, but you may not be so lucky, and installation is only the first potential problem area. Don't download the program unless you're willing to spend plenty of time trying to get it working.
If you're happy with this, then first download the APRO23_Win_ESD1_WWEFG.exe executable. It's a chunky 478MB in size, so choose a computer with a fast internet connection.
The installer should run correctly on Windows 2000/ XP. If you're using anything later, though, you'll need to give it a little help. On our Windows 7 x64 PC, we right-clicked the file, selected Properties > Compatibility, checked "Run this program in compatibility mode" and selected "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)".
We then launched the executable, and watched as it extracted its files. If the program crashes at the end of this process, though, you might want to try another compatibility mode option, or just run it as an administrator.
Once the files are ready, setup launches. Choose your language, and click Next.
Choose your "Default application for viewing PDF". Acrobat 8 Pro will set itself as the default viewer here, but because it's so old, that's almost certainly not a good idea. If it also offers "Adobe Reader 11" (or anything else, in fact), choose that and click Next.
You'll be asked for your registration details. Enter your name and (optionally) company, and use the serial number 1118-1414-1955-8737-8172-0350 . Click Next > Next.
