    I bought the adobe reader from adobe but installed standard first pro. now, the 'pro' trial has expired and I can't use the "standard" functions How can I solve this in order to use Adobe Standard - one that I bought?

    Hi Jodie,

    There is no standard to pro versions of Adobe Reader.

    You have downloaded the Acrobat version which is paid instead of Adobe Reader software.

    As the trial has expired, then you won't be able to use it unless you have purchased the product.

    However, you can download Adobe Reader for free using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions.

Please can someone tell me how do I get my activation key? What is vissible in the thumbnail is a bar code. Also say if the upgrade to windows 10 will fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
    What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • All the pdf I downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared" and I can open and view, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a messge saying my trial has expired and he wants me to have

    All of the pdf files I've downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared."  I can open and view them, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a message saying my trial has expired and he wants me to buy which I can't do because I don't have a serial number to put in. What happened to the "free" Adobe Reader I thought I had?  How can I get these PDF files to become mobile?

    You (or someone) downloaded the free demo of Acrobat Pro, a little more than a month. If you use this software $20 / free months instead of drive for a month. If you don't want to buy it, now you must uninstall it and go back to the use of Acrobat Reader.

  • My Adobe CC membership has expired, and I downgraded to the Photoshop and Lightroom package.

    My Adobe CC membership has expired, and I downgraded to the Photoshop and Lightroom package. My Mac is offline for about 2 months and now I can't get into Photoshop or Lightroom. When I connect my account all that I see is the old plan expired with no mention of the demotion to Photoshop and Lightroom. Payment for the decommissioned package is taken.

    Hi, thanks for all your replies.

    Above all, this fix is for a Mac based system. You have installed Cloud creative application.

    My original problem was that I connect Adobe with the wrong email ID to join the new plan I would be implemented.

    However, there was other technical issues that needed to sort my user error as well.

    The steps that I was guided to take are was ~

    > Open a Finder window. Choose go > go to folder. Type ~/Library and press return.

    > Open Applications Support > Adobe and you will be able to see an OOBE folder.

    > Open the OOBE folder and delete the file opm.db.

    > Open the activity monitor and exit all running applications creative cloud by double clicking on them and selecting exit.

    > Launch the creative cloud app and connect you with the correct email ID. The plan of Adobe you want should be there and the apps should run OK. In this case, all the preferences of Photoshop and the plugins have been restored so.

    Hope this may help someone else
