On June 26th, Adobe officially ended support for Acrobat 9 and Reader 9, which means that all security and product updates, as well as technical support, have ended. However, you can upgrade to Acrobat XI if you’d like to continue receiving these benefits.
Your software won’t stop working if you continue to use Acrobat 9 Standard/Pro/Pro Extended or Reader 9; although there are many important facts you should consider.
If you continue using Acrobat 9 you won’t:
- Receive official support from Adobe,
- Be able to purchase a support ticket,
- Be able to call the helpline,
- Be able to use the online chat service, or
- Receive updates or security patches.
Reactivation will work as it did previously, but you’ll have to deal with any compatibility problems on your own without help from Adobe.
