Re: Download Adobe Reader Windows 7 Gratis
Nichelle Gruger
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.
I keep getting this in every browser. The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or Higher. You may not have Adobe Reader installed on your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use adobe reader.
The form you are attempting to open is a dynamic XFA form. These forms can only be opened in an XFA aware reader, which basically means Adobe Acrobat. You must download it and open it with acrobat/reader in order to view it.
UPDATE: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 24.002.20857 for Windows and Mac is available for download. This version is labeled as optional update which comes with new features, performance improvements, bug fixes and security updates.
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a free PDF reader program developed by Adobe Inc. for Windows, Mac and Android operating systems. The DC term present in its name stands for Document Cloud which is a cloud service provided by Adobe to allow users to work on their PDF documents from anywhere. It also allows users to access and save their files in various cloud storage platforms such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.
The free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader comes with ability to view, print, sign and add comments on PDF documents. On the other hand, the Pro version allows users to edit PDF text and images, scan documents, sign, track and send as well as convert PDF files into Office documents such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

You do mention here that the new current Adobe Reader version is 22.002.20212
But when I try to download it from Adobe here, it only shows version 22.002.20191 which is the previous version.
Looks like Adobe is slow and has not updated their new download file.
I have 32-bit reader on my PCs which are not connected to net. When I download the adobe from get.adobe.com/reader/ it wants to connects to internet. in the setup folder there are no files which I can use to install on remote PCs.
I can't be the only person who imagined the office of the future, free from the confines of the eight and a half by eleven sheet (or A4, for my international friends), would have long since arrived. Instead, we've managed to land in an intermediate state of not paperless, but less paper.
Between a trusty scanner, email and various other communication tools, and getting really good at organizing my digital archives, I'm not totally unhappy with where we are today. And I do occasionally admit to reading a paper book, sending a postcard, or (gasp) printing something off to give to someone else.
Until the world moves a little further from paper, print-ready file formats will continue to permeate our digital landscape as well. And, love it or hate it, PDF, the "portable document format," seems to be the go-to format for creating and sharing print-ready files, as well as archiving files that originated as print.
For years, the only name in the game for working with PDF documents was Adobe Acrobat, whether in the form of their free reader edition or one of their paid editions for PDF creation and editing. But today, there are numerous open source PDF applications which have chipped away at this market dominance. And for Linux users like me, a proprietary application that only runs on Windows or Mac isn't an option anyway.
Since PDF files are used in so many different situations for so many different kinds of purposes, you may need to shop around to find the open source alternative to Adobe Acrobat that meets your exact needs. Here are some tools I enjoy.
For reading PDFs, these days many people get by without having to use an external application at all. Both Firefox and Chromium, the open source version of Google's Chrome browser, come bundled with in-browser PDF readers, so an external plugin is no longer necessary for most users.
For downloaded files, users of GNOME-based Linux distributions have Evince (or Atril on the GNOME 2 fork, MATE), a powerful PDF reader that handles most documents quickly and with ease. Evince has a Windows port as well, although Windows users may also want to check out the GPLv3-licensed SumatraPDF as an alternative. KDE's Okular serves as the PDF reader for the Plasma Desktop. All of these have the ability to complete PDF forms, view and make comments, search for text, select text, and so on.
Personally, LibreOffice's export functionality ends up being the source of 95% of the PDFs I create that weren't built for me by a web application. Scribus, Inkscape, and GIMP all support native PDF export, too, so no matter what kind of document you need to make -- a complex layout, formatted text, vector or raster image, or some combination -- there's an open source application that meets your needs.
For practically every other application, the CUPS printing system does an excellent job of outputting documents as PDF, because printers and PDFs both rely on PostScript to represent data on page (whether the page is digital or physical).
If you don't need fancy graphical interfaces, you can also generate PDFs through plain text with a few handy terminal commands. Everyone has their favourite, but probably the most popular is Pandoc, which takes nearly any format of document and translates it to nearly any other format. Its ability to translate text formats is staggering, so it's probably all you really need. However, there are several other solutions, including Docbook, Sphinx, and LaTeX.
Editing is a loaded term. For some people, editing a PDF means changing a few words or a swapping out an old image for a new one, while for others it means altering metadata such as bookmarks, and for still others it means manipulating page order or adjusting print resolution. The authoritative answer nobody ever wants is: don't edit PDFs, edit the source and then export a new PDF. That's not always possible, though, and luckily there are some great tools to make all manner of edits possible.
LibreOffice Draw does a fantastic job of editing PDF files, giving you full access to the text and images. There are caveats to this, because of the flexibility of the PDF format. If you haven't installed the fonts used in the PDF, then the flow of text could change due to font substitution,. If the PDF was created from a scan, then you'll only have images of text and not editable text.
Inkscape, too, does a good job with opening documents created elsewhere, and may be a more intuitive choice if your document is heavy on graphics. If you don't have a font installed, Inkscape (through the Poppler renderer) can trace characters so that the appearance of text is maintained even without the actual font data. Of course, that loses the text data (you have only the shapes of letters, not the selectable text itself) but it's a nice feature when appearance matters most.
