In need of ADOBE 8.1.2


{color:#0000ff}I had reformatted my computer the other day, I have run into a problem...I HAD ADOBE 8.1.2 , but now I have ADOBE 7.0 after going to the site..I found I was unable to UPDATE to 8.1.2, only 9.0; which has caused problems for me. Does anyone out there have a safe link for ADOBE 8.1.2?{color}

Re: In need of ADOBE 8.1.2

http://forums.pcworld.com/images/emoticons/grin.gif Hi :

Since Adobe is under frequent "attack" by Malware Writers, I recommend NOT using that

product, but seriously consider the relative unknown, but slimmer and faster "Foxit Reader"

with Info available at http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php .

Hey PCJOHN!!


Welcome to PCWorld Community!


Like Spirit said , FoxIt Reader is a much safer alternative but,

if you really want to keep your Adobe well, you can download

from SoftPedia-Adobe version 9.0 , 8.1.2 , 7..0.9 . Just click on the blue link.


Hope this helps.

Would I/should I also remove ADOBE Shockwave and Flash?

:D Hi :

Foxit Reader is NOT currently a "Beta" product, though it is possible some of the

"Enhanced" Features MAY be . Any Questions about this product can be answered by

calling 1-866-693-6948 .
