Greetings,
I have a similar (I think) problem as the one you addressed here. I have tried to install Acrobat Pro 8 on my new (refurbished) MacBook Pro (which is running 10.7.4) without luck, downloading it from the original disc.
I have also tried to transfer Acrobat Pro 8.3.1 (which works fine on my about-to-die MacBook) onto said MacBook Pro, with same error message as I get for the first one:
"Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
I opened a chat in Customer Care and gave the lady the serial number for the 8 (she only asked for that one, I have both), and she said it was a technical problem and to go ask about it here.
DESPERATE for any help as nearly all my freelance work (I'm a longtime independent contractor) has to be done editing on PDFs.
Thanks!
