Adobe Acrobat free trial won't install I tried to download the Creative Suite today, and it wouldn't open at all. It downloaded, but the installer never ran. When I opened it from the Downloads folder, the same thing happened when I double clicked/opened the file - that is to say, nothing. Then I tried downloading Adobe Acrobat DC, free trial.
It downloaded and began installing, but the installation stalled at 66%. I let it run for more than an hour, and then I tried to close the installation box, but it wouldn't let me. I closed the installation through the Task Manager in Windows. Then I tried downloading and installing again, and it's still frozen at 66%. I would very much like to try a version of Acrobat Pro (wherein I can edit PDFs by typing, adding/deleting pages, and saving the PDF) before purchasing. How can I go about doing so?
Allison Atterberry. Acrobat DC is definitely supported on Windows 7. Are you using the trial version of the Creative Suite, or do you have fully licensed version? In that case, Acrobat DC is part of the CC installation. It is possible that your Acrobat installation problems are actually caused by the problems created when you ran the CC installer. Here is Adobe's troubleshooting page for CC installation issues: It is possible that there is something on your computer that is triggering these installation issues: Every application you run on your computer requires things from a number of different sources: The application itself, libraries installed by the application, system libraries that are already on the system, and operating system functionality.
If any of the things that the application does not bring, and therefore depends on already being installed on the system is corrupt or different from what the application expects, you may run into problems. You may want to start over by removing anything that the CC application potentially did to your computer by running the CC cleaner: After that, your system should look like it had never even touched CC.

Installation of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC trial by default uninstalls any earlier version of Adobe Acrobat on Windows devices. If you choose to retain the existing Acrobat XI on your machine, you need to change the default by unchecking the “Remove earlier version” option in Acrobat downloader UI.
