I would like to know how you get it to work with Win10?! I still have my discs!
I'll need specific steps as I know almost nothing about Win10- haven't had the time to learn it and customize it, like I used to do with XP and Win7.

Sure. Here are specific steps for Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0
Right click on Setup.exe > Properties > Compatibility TAB >
CHECK: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Double click on Setup.exe to install the program.
[Select Custom Installation]
Do not install Create Adobe PDF > Acrobat PDFMaker under Windows Vista/7/8/10 because it installs Add-ons which may disable the program after initial use.
When prompted, navigate to this AdobePDF.dll file:
View attachment AdobePDF.zip
UNCHECK: Launch Adobe Acrobat Professional, UPDATE to v8.3.1 then REBOOT then set Compatibility mode for [...]Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe before starting the program:
Right click on Acrobat.exe > Properties > Compatibility TAB >
CHECK: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Start the program > Download e-license.

You need an Adobe ID, am I mistaken about this?? I followed the instructions and the CS2 page shows for a microsecond then one is shown an Adobe ID log-in page.
