Buying new stuff. Buttt......

[Packin'JP]

We are installing a new workflow and purchasing many news things. One of those purchases is a new Mac with all the software needed.
Problem:
The workflow to be installed does not support Acrobat 9. Only 8 for now. The workflow doesn't work without it.

My questions are:
Can I purchase CS 3 or 4 and also install Acrobat 8 on a new Mac? Would it be better to purchase Illustrator3 (4) and Indesign3(4) and Acrobat 8 seperate? Are there compatability issues between CS3 and Acrobat 8? Will Acrobat 8 work on a new Mac?

OR

Do I have to continue to use my old G5 with Acrobat 7 installed, until they support Acrobat V9?
Then I can use my brand new Mac. HUhhhh..

My install happens in 2 weeks and i need to get ready.

Arcobat 8 works fine with new Macs. So does version 7. The only issue you have is Acrobat 9. If you can purchase CS3 with Acrobat 8 it would be your best option. If you can't you could install your old license of Acrobat 7 or purchase Acrobat 8 separately. Here is a good place to look for older software:

Good luck

I actually just learned i can purchase V9 and install it on the older V8 license key, and when "I" could support V9, upgrade with the new license.

Is this possible?

EDIT: Just spoke with Adobe.

This is not possible anymore unless you want to purchase a volume of Copies. Even then you are buying V8 license and when you want to install V9 pay for the upgrade anyway.

Thanks
