PLEASE HELP ME. Acrobat from the Windows Forum Won't Work?

Hey guys! I downloaded a version of Adobe Acrobat from these guys The Windows Forum. The exact name of the file is "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20 + Crack by The Windows Forum". I disabled my anti-virus and all the files downloaded fine. The install also went fine. But it doesn't work. When I try to convert a Word Document into a PDF, I get an error message that says "MISSING PDF MAKER FILES. DO YOU WANT TO RUN THE INSTALLER IN REPAIR MODE?" But clicking on yes and running it in repair mode never fixes anything. There are also a few times when the crack doesn't work and Adobe Acrobat's 30 day free trial starts the countdown. These are the steps I followed based on the Read Me File. I also attached screenshots of each step along the way.

STEP BY STEP:
1) Ran the installer "AcrobatPro" and installed and did not reboot.
2) Ran the updater "AcrobatUpd11020".
3) Moved the crack file "Amtemu.v0.9.1-painter" to the installation folder.
4) This is exactly what the Read Me says to do, step by step, but then the error starts (see screenshots attached).

Easy PDF works for me an a number of platforms, not bloated out with fuinctions you may use once in a century
 
Don't you think that Adobe from 2017 is little to old one??? You need newer version. I use Foxit PDF, Acrobat is "too fat and too slow" for me.
Please accept my apologies, I hate to jump here and be critical but I constantly see power users post criticisms to posters who want help with an older program. And 20 more replies from those who want to offer up what they use instead. That makes the poster feel like a stupid idiot, It's not an answer to their question and it doesn't help. It makes them think, "Well why the hell is this forum even here?"
I came here years ago for help. Help with what I was trying to do. I've found a lot of help here when crack instructions leave MUCH, MUCH, much to be desired and seem to be aimed at users that are much more advanced than me. Most of the time I stay on the sidelines trying to decipher a lot of what I find here. (and mostly trying to find the location of where files might be here instead of other sites. I mean, I started with DEMONOID for god's sakes, oh forget newsgroups.)

YOU DON"T KNOW what the OP's environment is and why he uses Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20. You don't know the reasons why. I don't think this forum is here to judge, it's here to help!

I personally use Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.20 in a WIN10 environment. I use it because the setup I have with a couple of other apps and my printer works. IT WORKS! If it ain't broke don't fix it! I don't have time to spend upgrading and installing the latest & greatest of everything. My environment works. I get work done!

To Thumper
Try the latest version?!! Are you telling the OP to upgrade to the latest version of Acrobat? That stinks!!! I have enormous respect for THUMPER & Tech Tools. That STINKS!!!

THIS IS LIKE MEETING YOUR HERO AND FINDING OUT THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT

I am not a power user and quite frankly I'm not one to give computer advice but......since the big boys think what you're doing is outdated & wrong....... and you just need to upgrade....upGRADE....UPGRADE!!!!
I'll try to help. I use Acrobat Pro XI just like you do. Every.... single..... day of my life, and yes I heavily use the full tools for editing and modifying. Only I used Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20 + Crack [Tech-Tools.ME]. I have it installed and it has the plug in for WORD. And I'm able to successfully create pdfs.

Oh btw I also use OFFICE 2010. Someone will probably dump on that too. But it works and I don't have the time to change everything

Interestingly..... I do have the file AcrobatUpd11020.msp same date, same size. But in the crack directory I don't have amtemu.v0.9.1-painter. I have amtlib.dll.

Now I've been running Acrobat like this for a long time. I've had the torrent downloaded for a very long time and I have been dealing with some new freaking WIN Defender bullshit the last weeks. Even though I have every function and feature turned off and I've made all kind of registry entries and stood my head and thrown salt over my left shoulder. Real time protection keeps getting turned back on and it keeps disabling the Acrobat dll. It could have quarantined amtemu.v0.9.1-painter.

But I do know that almost every morning after turning real time protection BACK OFF and fixing the dll, Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.20 goes back to working.....SO I CAN KEEP WORKING.
But that's what I've been on here for tyring to find something that can fix this damn defender problem so I can get back to work.
