How to install Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2021.007.20102 FULL - step by step.

WELCOME TO THEWINDOWSFORUM COMMUNITY!

Our community has more than 63,000 registered members, and we'd love to have you as a member. Join us and take part in our unbiased discussions among people of all different backgrounds about Windows OS, Software, Hardware and more.

Thank you for the detailed steps, but at the end I always get a pop up to sign in when I launch the app. and if I don't Sign in, the program closes.
Please advice
 
I guess that one of the most common reasons for this failure is leftovers from a previous install. Before installing again use eg Revo Uninstaller to completely remove Acrobat and all leftovers.
 
Hello, I'm stuck on #11. I'm confused as to this portion.....
Then go to (this PC) C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
I'm not sure how or where exactly that step is or goes.
I tried clicking on This PC and then in the File Name I typed in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts but didn't see anything thing that said ReadME files
It actually brought up
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp
#
#This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
and continued on
I'm sorry I'm fairly new to torrents so forgive me.......
Hoping someone can guide or help me with this step please and thank you.
 
You should open file explorer first. On the left side of the screen you will see a symbol of a computer with the text 'this computer'.
When you click once on it, it will show you the Windows drive, mostly it has the letter 'C".
Then double click on that 'C' partition and you will see several windows folders. (e.g. Intel, Program Files, Program Files (x86) and so on. And indeed, there is the Windows folder that you need to double click on as well. Then many new folders will appear, you need to double click on the system 32 folder. Same goes for the next folders.

Just follow the procedure and when something is not clear...... well, you know where to go ;-)

update: did you open Notepad and run it as administrator? If you not open it as administrator, then you probably can not open or change that file.

You have found the right file. You just have to overwrite it with a new one (same title) - make the new one and then copy/overwtite it to the existing directory (windows... etc.)
 
Installation manual for Adobe Acrobat Pro on a clean Windows 10 pro installation.

1. Make sure your computer has Winzip, 7-Zip or Winrar installed. Take your internet cable out of the computer or disable your WIFI connection.
It is best not to have installed or install any other legal Adobe product. (e.g. Adobe Reader) Highly likely this will disable the crack!

2. Disable Windows Security Virus & threat protection.
(start - settings - update & security - windows security - Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection manage settings -
turn off real-time protection, turn off cloud-delivered protection, turn off tamper protection)
If possible keep this window open so you will notice, if windows real time protection suddenly turns on by itself.

NOTE: if you have installed another virus scanner, the windows virus scanner might be turned off already. Then you must disable your own virus scanner!!!

3. copy the downloaded file (Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2021.007.20102 FULL [TheWindowsForum.com]) to your desktop.

For those of you who may still have some issues, I suggest you add the following steps after completing the above that Varajk Paw documented. Granted, a few of you will notice that a couple may be redundant, but I've followed this configuration for many years and never had any issues. Also, there are a few more Adobe server DNS domain name entries to the hosts file than listed above. Personally, I'd rather side on the edge of caution. One last very important piece of advice. Perform all these steps PRIOR to ever starting any Adobe Application. One sure-fire way to observe if you've successfully completed the steps is to observe the %temp% directory for an overabundance of log files created by the Adobe program, such as: amt3.log, swtag.log, oobelib.log, PDApp.log, or AdobeIPCBroker.log. If so, at some point Adobe will send you a popup notice stating the Trial period is over and that you must purchase a license. At this point, you'll need to uninstall the Adobe Program using Revo or another Uninstaller App that will remove most, but not all, of the Adobe entries in the registry and the files and folders left over. After that, run "AdobeAcroCleaner_DC2021__x64.exe" to thoroughly clean up any remaining tidbits that Adobe scattered all over your hard drive. Reboot and you should be ready to take another shot at reinstalling your chosen Adobe Program.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\amtlib.dll (make sure you choose the correct file, x86 or x64. Be aware there are many different versions of this DLL file, all the same size and most all with the same file creation date/time)
What does this part mean? What am I suppose to do with the DLL file? Thank you.
 
When I get to the step 9 where I have to click on the "AcrobatDCUpd21007212" update, it says that "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing...". Any ideas on what to do?
This was happening to me too. For me, I didn't complete the previous step.

The instructions in Notepad say:
"Open setup folder (Setup - AdobeAcrobatProDC2021) then run: Acrobat_DC_Web_WWMUI.eze, extract it and install
- Choose the language. - Check: "Use the evaluation version ..."

I was extracting it but didn't install it. So when I then clicked on the "AcrobatDCUpd21007212" like you did I got the same error message.

So in that previous step when you extract Acrobat_DC_Web_WWMUI.eze, for me it extracted onto my desktop as a folder named "Adobe Acrobat." I clicked on that, clicked on another folder also named "Adobe Acrobat" and then clicked on the application named "Set Up." This installed it.

Then I could move on to the next step where you click on AcrobatDCUpd21007212.
