This is the full installer you need, ignore the warnings about it being for COMPUTER technicians.

    I have Acrobat Pro DC subscription but is not letting me edit a pdf file?

    Hi toddb52522515,

    I assume you are using Acrobat Reader for iOS/Android/Windows Phone, because you posted your question on Acrobat Reader mobile forum.  If this isn't the case, please let us know.

    With the Acrobat Pro DC subscription, you pouvez use the 'Edit PDF' function to change the text in a PDF document on a mobile device, if the following conditions are met.

    • Your PDF document to edit.  (Some PDF documents may not allow editing due to permissions and document encryption.)
    • You are registered under the Adobe ID with which you used to purchase the subscription Acrobat Pro DC.
    • You are using Acrobat Reader for iOS on iPad.  (The 'Edit PDF' function is not taken in charge on an iPhone.  In addition, please note that Acrobat Reader for Android version 15.3.1 or older did not support the 'Edit PDF' function again.)

    The information above explains why you can't edit a PDF document?

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you!

    You can try with below steps if you want:

    Folder Temp light 1).

    (2) close all running Applications.

    (3) close webistes all opened browser.

    (4)disable the firewall temporarily.

    (5) open only Adobe Web site as it is safe and secure site free of all kind of threats.

    (6) then try to download CS 6 Design Standard and check.

    Note: Though the firewall is disabled. do not open applications, files or even other Web sites.

    Or if you think it is still very slow and would not turn off the firewall , you can try with 3' rd party like download managers: IInternet Download Manager , which is more efficient than the browser built in downloader.

  • I managed to install Service Pack 2, it shows SP2, now it won't let me download me SP3 because he said I must have sp2 before I can download sp3

    I managed to download sp2 and it shows SP2 when I right click on my computer.  Now it won't let me download SP3 because he said I must have sp2 before I can download the sp3!  Any thoughts?  I just reinstalled XP on my old computer of sisters.

    Try to download the SP3 directly to your computer and run it from there.

  • SP2 is unable to download after failure of computer with windows vista home premium

    My computer crashed and I restarted after the DELL factory settings is a Windows Vista Home Premium but I can't seem to download the SP2 so that I can get IE9. I have SP1, but when I try to download the SP2 it tells me to get SP1.

    Please do not mark a reply as the answer unless it responds to your question.

    It is what is in my previous answer to check what level of Service Pack you have installed.

    «Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64 bit installed.»

    It will also tell you which SP you have installed. »

  • Windows XP SP1 back to factory settings - unable to download SP3. any suggestions?

    I just got back my computer to factory settings.  The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition with Service pack 1 installed.  I need to download and install Service Pack 3.  Can someone tell how can I do this?  Microsoft advises me to use automatic updates, but these work only after that service pack 3 is installed.  Any help would be appreciated

    Before installing Service Pack 3, you must have at least Service Pack 1 installed on your machine.  If you have installed SP1, you must install SP1A or SP2 before installing SP3.  You can download these service packs as a single installation package to the link provided in the following article.  Ignore the verbiage that says 'For IT professional and developers' and others.  They put that it in order to reduce the bandwidth download when service packs were first relesed:

  • PC does not stop on command but will restart (XP SP3)

    Have acquired a D510(e-pc) that will not stop, but will restart instead. To install a new XP Pro and it will stop in SP2 but when I add SP3 it restarts on the command "shutdown". I followed the usual channels in 'Power Options'-'won't restart after power fail"and"Powerdown after shutdown"to 0 in the registry but nothing seems to cure the problem. I have the correct drivers installed and only AVG in addition to the O/S.I. have a usdt D510 giving none these problems. - HELP.

    Thanks to anyone who has seen this post and to confirm that I solved it myself by adding the programs one by one until the problem occurs. The culprit was surprisingly, Intel Application Accelerator which caused no problems on other models of the range D510, but prevents the closure of the D510(e-pc) .

  • I am paying the subscription monthly, but unable to use Acrobat Pro, as I should be able to. Dead money!

    I am paying the subscription monthly, but unable to use Acrobat Pro, as I should be able to. Have you tried to resign in

    Hmm, I have an idea of the problem, but it would be a rather misleading message if I'm right.

    You read this 215.006.30121 'Classic' of the SUBJECT, Yes? This means that you have installed the classic version, which is not updated with new features and is designed only for people who have a time to purchase. The version for subscriptions is "continue". I recommend that you uninstall the CLASSIC and CONTINUOUS download instead. Many people recommend using the creative Cloud application to handle this, even if I do not have.

    Please let us know how it works.
