What versions of Acrobat Pro will run on Windows 10?

I think I found the answer myself from the Adobe community, written by an Adobe staff member:

If I update to the new Windows 10, will Adobe A... | Adobe Community



"Support for Acrobat XI is not going to end and it has been successfully tested by our engineering team on MS Windows 10. I believe soon the KB doc. will be updated for Acrobat XI system requirements."

 

I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my computer, but when I try to use it, I get a message that it can't find it

Hi Peter,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

I would like to know on which location does the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI application appear.

If you have not checked the installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI application in the Programs and Features then, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI application in compatibility mode.

Follow the below steps to uninstall the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI application:

• Right click on Start button and click on Control Panel.
• Click on Programs and Features.
• Find the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI application from the list.
• Right click on it and select Uninstall.

Follow the below steps to install the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI application in compatibility mode:

1. Right click on the setup file and select Properties.

2. Select Compatibility tab.

3. Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.

4. Let it application and then check the functionality.

If the issue still persists then, I would recommend you to contact the Adobe support for further assistance with this issue.

Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further.

Thank you.

 

I just use Edge, it can read PDF's and it is good enough for me.

 

Edge is still too basic and limited for me to use as a PDF reader.
For instance, if the PDF has a URL in it, I can't right-click the link from Edge to copy the shortcut or open a link in a new window without losing where I am in the original pdf. From an external reader, it's easier because the link opens in a browser while the reader stays open.
Also if I want to look at PDFs in the Preview Pane in File Explorer, Edge doesn't provide the relevant Preview handler.

 

I understand, I do not need a PDF reader now. I used to use Foxit .

 

I used Adobe Reader for years, but switched to Foxit when I started having problems with Adobe. Result, no more problems.

 

Just wondering. I used Foxit some time ago, but I dumped it because of ads. Does it still have ads or not?

Thanks for the heads up. Like you, I need the full version for editing, merging pdfs and Office conversions. I wonder if there will be a final planned update beyond the 11.0.22 Aug. patch. I guess I can check back here next month - http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acr...-11-x-products

PS; thanks for your help in fixing my hiberfile issue in the other thread, I wish this thread had rep button. *Party

 

Meh, I'm not buying a subscription at $15-16 a month to get the same features I received in v. 11 standard which I didn't buy until 2014 for around $139. So I got only 3 years of life out of it. I may to back to power port or something similar.

 

Dang! Looks like Adobe is going to force me to update after all. Still using Acrobat XI. Will look to update later.

Thanks.

 

Well, Adobe has issued a new quarterly update, XI 11.0.23, so I wonder what 'End of Support' really means. *Huh Get update here- http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acr...erotwentythree

 

Yeah I'd noticed that update (and been puzzled) too.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what it means.
