Hmm it looks like from reading the Acrobat 8 software EULA you MIGHT be able to do it.
Specifically:
"Updates. If the Software is an upgrade or update to a previous version of Adobe software, you must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. After you install such update or upgrade, you may continue to use any such previous version in accordance with its end-user license agreement only if (a) the upgrade or update and all previous versions are installed on the same device, (b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to another party or device unless all copies of the update or upgrade are also transferred to such party or device and (c) you acknowledge that any obligation Adobe may have to support the previous version(s) may be ended upon the availability of the upgrade or update. No other use of the previous version(s) is permitted after installation of an update or upgrade. Upgrades and updates may be licensed to you by Adobe with additional or different terms."
So if I am reading this right you can keep 8 on the computer IF you bought the upgrade version. But I see nothing anywhere about downgrade options like MS eula's so you might have to talk to Adobe on that one.

I posted a link to a script to install 9 last week which is in my blog posting about it here http://kenzig.blogspot.com/2008/08/watch-out-with-adobe-acrobat-reader-9.html but there is also links from Citrix admin who had issues.

Does anyone know if Acrobat 9.0 professional works well on a Citrix server?
I have version 8.0 and it's working fine, but I know this is the first version to work well since acrobat 4.0
