Try to keep track, but do not worry too much if you can't, because the installer will give you an error message if you are trying to install the wrong patch (i.e., out of order). Note that the patching will only work in this order. Afterwards, please apply serially the patches from Once you have installed Acrobat Pro 9.0 from your original disk, and unpacked the patches archive, please run the first patch:Ģ. Instead, these are the steps and patches that worked for me:ġ. You can also try the procedure described by Adobe atīut, for me, it didn't work exactly as described there. Once you have downloaded the patches archive (Acrobat_Pro_9_Patches.zip), you can reinstall them, one by one (unfortunately), as described below. Please download the archive with all these downloads from Note that the approach suggested here is still time consuming and perhaps frustrating, but it's all I could do.

I also uploaded the archive with all the patches (I found necessary) on a, hopefully, much faster site. So, to save many people some time and frustration, I made this blog about the patching procedure. Then, installing the updates takes many hours more.

The downloads from Adobe are very slow (more generally, not only for these patches many people are complaining Adobe seems not to care), and after most of the patches, restart is required.įirst, quite a bit of search is required to learn that the patches can be downloaded from I will be talking about the Windows version here, but the situation is probably similar for Mac OS.īasically, after reinstalling Pro 9.0 from the disk one purchased, one needs to download and reinstall, one by one, all the updates or patches (and there are many). Moreover, updating from a fresh reinstall of Pro 9.0 to 9.5.5 is currently very tedious. As is probably well-known, Adobe has stopped updating Acrobat Pro 9 when it reached version 9.5.5, and this was quite some time ago.
