I have tried many times, on the official download page, after selecting Windows 11 as the OS, English as the language, the Select Version was greyed out. There is no way I can go past this step to download the free reader.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
The Select Version box is still greyed out, even when I risked being hacked by turning off the virus protections and fire wall. I tried another (older) machine that runs Windows 10, that box was also greyed out as well.
Any suggestion, please?
Thanks for the link Meenakshi. I'd cleared the cache of Microsoft Edge, tried Chrome, but the Select a version is still greyed out. I tried it on an older machine running Windows 10, it was also greyed out as well.
Any suggestion?

Hi Test Screen Name
Thanks for the link, it leads me to the same page I was trying to download the reader. You are not the only one who are not sure why it doesn't work.
I googled "How to install Adobe reader" and landed on an official page, but when I clicked on a link to download the reader, I was confronted with Error 404, Page does not exist.
Looks like I'll have to content with some free 3rd party reader.
I have exact the same issue as you. As far as I can see there no solution. I friend send me the "readerdc64_en_a_mdr_install" and I tried to install, message "connection error". The friend also lives in the Netherlands and also uses firefox, for him it just worked. I also deleted all adobe cookies and used MS Edge browser. Helpdesk Adobe "help for free products discontinued". I hope Adobe comes up with a solution soon.
While trying to download adobe reader through chrome, I get a message that the download failed because a virus was detected in the download. I went through the offical website to get to the download page at , so I know I didn't accidently get it from a third-party website. I included a screen shot to give more details about the virus. Is the another way I can get adobe reader? I'm trying to set up an image for cloning.
Can't honestly say it was Defender's fault or not. After installing the latest windows updates, I still had the issue. Turned the computer off, let it sit over the weekend, and tried again this morning with success. According to the computer, no updates were installed since I last tried Friday, but hey. It working now so I can't complain.
On Friday 11-15-18 I tried to download Adobe Reader to Windows 10. The filename was readerdc_en_ra_crd_install.exe. Windows Defender said the file had a virus, Trojan:Win32/Skeeyah.AIMTB. Couldn't download, couldn't install. On Monday 11-18-19 I downloaded Adobe Reader to Windows 10. The Adobe download page asked me for my OS. This is new, I didn't see that question before. I selected Windows 10. I downloaded a different filename, readerdc_en_xa_install.exe. I did not get a virus warning while downloading or installing. I don't think the 11-15-19 virus warning was Windows Defender's fault.
Hello. I am trying to download adobe reader (free version) for Mac OS (10.14). I have tried most of the trouble shooting steps and all of the downloads freeze at the same spot. The download gets about 2/3 through the "running package scripts" page, then freezes. This will stay that way until I eventually force quit the entire install. I tried contacting adobe support who sent me to this forum for help. I have tried downloading from a different browser, a different admin account, and have completely reinstalled Mac OS (for different reasons) but still have issues with the download freezing. If you have any ideas please let me know as I am desperate to get some class work done.

I have had a huge issue updating my adobe flash player, I think I might have solved it from looking here. The problem is now the Adobe reader, with everything I did installing, reinstalling, etc I suddenly could not print pdf files. I just uninstalled the reader and now it won't install at all I get the black screen of death at step 2.Can someone help me reinstall it with hopes that I can print again?
The article Use Adobe Reader to view PDF files in Firefox doesn't go into specifics on how install Adobe Reader; it simply links to Adobe's download page. If I remember right, you can download the installer for Adobe Reader XI from that page, even if on Windows Vista, by choosing Windows 7 as the OS.
In any case, Firefox now has its own built-in PDF viewer, so you have other ways for opening, viewing and printing PDF files in Firefox, besides Adobe Reader or other PDF browser plugins. See View PDF files in Firefox or choose another viewer for details.
