Is There A Free Version Of Adobe Acrobat Dc
Madelyn Grindel
DC is so difficult to use. I paid for the premium so I could edit my pdf's the help said I cant do this on DC all I want is the old reader back. I cant even email my documents the same way. I also am trying to cancel my subscription I am so frustrated!
Doesn't work. When I get to that box where I select a version, there's ONLY ONE version -- the DC version. Which has screwed up my entire computer! I uninstalled it a bit ago, & am trying to find the PLAIN OLD ADOBE ACROBAT READER....HELP??
I can answer that...all the previous capabilities are now an "add on" or "open" by purchase. What good is adobe acrobat if you have to suddenly pay for all the features that were previously included in adobe acrobat? I don't have the budget to pay for these additions, but the tools that are integral to my work processes are now out of reach, not available. This impedes work flow and efficiency, and creates a financial burden to my organization (grant funded-not commercial) and therefore will have to spend extraordinary amounts of time reworking the budget to accommodate this unexpected change, which will cost money to spend the time to do this, which will slow work flow processes, and impede flexibility. Get us hooked on your products and then pull them out from under us so we "can't live without them" and are forced to buy in.
Nope, don't patronize me, graffiti. I know what I was using before this recent update on my desktop with newly installed windows 10 computer. And I know what I can't do now. Everything I could find about DC is that it's the update for windows 10 (and is the ONLY adobe reader available for windows 10). I've tried to uninstall and install a "FREE" version as you call it. My Acrobat Reader DC is part of a package that my sponsoring university pays for. So what I could do last week, can't be done now without paying for those features individually. A La Carte style...
And you're just a salesman... the person asked you for help not to be wrangled towards DC. so Graffiti, where might one find an older version of Acrobat Reader that is legit, which by that I mean, not just an avenue to DC, under the guise of being an older version... and please, do not patronize me, either. I have been hunting, each time I find what I believe to be an older version, sure as the sun shines... it is the DC version, telling me how wonderful it is, and how it will work with older operating systems... show me the way Graffiti to find a TRUE OLDER VERSION, side stepping the DC version, I DO NOT WANT. Thank you
the free version of Adobe Reader DC has been completely rearranged and changed. ALL of the GUI and selections have been either erased, rearranged and hidden or completely deleted.... including being able to set type over a white out block. SO .... Please investigate your answers and use the proper version of Adobe when you start flinging around vague generalities ... ADOBE READER DC NOW OFFICIALLY SUCKS!
AMEN. SO HOW DO I GET MY OLD READER BACK. I'M SAFE GUARDING MY ADOBE ACROBAT XI PRO. DC IS FULL OF TRICKS. ALL ROADS LEAD TO A DC SUBSCRIPTION AND READER DC IS ANOTHER WAY OF RIPPING US OFF OF WHAT WE OWN.
it is connected to the CLOUD, it is as simple as that. I want to find an older version of Adobe Acrobat without discovering that the offer of an older version is really the DC version ...that will gleefully allow me to download it and promises to work with all versions of Windows, blah blah blah, can't it be, just, a simple ... I WANT TO LIMIT MY ASSOCIATION WITH THE CLOUD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE... I do a lot of work on my computer with older programs and I LIKE Them, they work. At times there is no internet service and I do not need it to do everything on a computer that serves my needs and I could care less about having my EVERYTHING right there in the cloud... I recently contacted Adobe looking for good photo program, that did not have an association to the CLOUD or had to be part of a subscribed platform and was informed that ADOBE had nothing to offer me. So does adobe have older readers, available, or is your company just as corrupt as the rest of them, because we all know it is not about the customer, or their needs, it is about getting that extra dollar squeezed out of each individual and keeping tabs on everything, anyone in the universe has on their computer, or will have on their computer, over all, not directing that solely at Adobe. So, will I have to start looking for OLD computer programs to find a program that is suitable or what?
callach If you don't want to use online services with Reader, you simply can disable online service via Adobe Customization wizard and deploy the customized installer on the user machines. Here is a link to download Adobe customization wizard tool: Adobe Customization Wizard and you have here documentation about the tool as well.
And if you still want to use old version: you can download from this FTP site. I would like to mention any non-supported version of Adobe Reader/Acrobat is declared End of support*. The supported version of Reader can always be available for download from here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution
* End of support means that Adobe no longer provides technical support, including product and/or security updates, for all derivatives of a product or product version (localized versions, minor upgrades, operating systems, dot and double-dot releases, and connector products).
This is either a COMPLETE LIE or, they have now made it so that EVERYONE who is here saying they cannot find the old Adobe Reader is NOW correct. Either way, I sure cannot find it. What is more, I am DONE trying. Adobe you and your CLOUD solutions can kiss my A**. I will never bother to click on another link to you or your products again as long as I live. And by the way, I see you must be in bed with the ZuckerNazi as you too have somehow decided that because YOU create this area that it automatically defines YOU as the "Community" (regarding your so-called "Community guidelines"). Let's call a spade a spade here. YOU are not the "Community". WE ARE THE COMMUNITY. By forcing others to follow your rules, it makes you the owner, the ruler, the enforcer of your rules, heck, even the DICTATOR. But, it sure as hell does NOT make you the "Community".
OK I downloaded and installed the reader. Well, to my total lack of supprise, the very first thing I tried that used to be free takes me to the 7 day free trial and $20 monthly after that. So, is this an error in the link or is Adobe just feeding us pure BS?
I was creating a binder to save several different pdfs into one single file, and then I was prompted to save. However, I accidentally saved over the wrong PDF file, and I can't seem to revert back. Is there any way to revert back to the previous PDF that I saved over? I really need that file!
Windows 7 has the ability to perform incremental backups. If you've got this feature turned on, you may be able to right-click the file and choose Restore Previous Versions. If you've got an incremental backup of the file prior to overwriting it, you might be able to get it back.
I just had this happen and now adobe has a feature where you right click the file and in properties you can select "previous versions". You might be able to restore from that - mine says its on an external hard drive I back up at home so i'll try that later
what on earth is going on with this new update of Adobe Acrobat Pro that normally it's supposed to be more user friendly - news flash, it's not - and appart from this, there is this new awful feature that blocks the app whenever I try to handle documents, the app blocks, I can't close, I can't do anything, it just freezes. The only thing that gets me out of there is task manager, and then starting over again.
We acknowledge that the new Acrobat represents a notable change, however we hope that as you get familiar with the new interface, you are able to be more productive & get more out of Acrobat. With the new interface, we aim to:
It was a trauma experience. everything is changed. NO more user friendly but thank god you have provided the previous verison otehrwise I will thinking what could be the substitute ...and then I will thning to use pirated old versions. Please please never force us to use your such new acrobat. it is just a horror
I agree and the rest of my office also agrees that the new Adobe rollout is a disaster!! I wonder if the people that create this stuff actually work in Adobe? For those of us that use Adobe a lot, your new update is awful and not at all user friendly and more clicks to get anything done. You also took out the "save as local" for those of us that use icloud based management systems, we must have the "save as local". The majority of us like having the tools show up on the right. Please do not make this a final update that everyone will have to use. My office will be using another program if this happens.
Yes - a change to another program is imminent. It is unbeleivably frustrating to have such an incredible disruption for the worst. Disruption is usally for the better right? Wondering what program will disrupt the defunct Adobe into a usable program. I have used Adobe programs since the late 80's, yep i was an early adaptor, and have been loyal since--that has now changed, almost irreversibly.
It is beyond frustrating to do YOUR WORK as well. You update smth, fine, I am not an IT person, I want to click a button and that update to occur, I do not have time to check if my previous Adobe was 1234350i064680 and is Adobe 34utoy35w6 I couldn;t care less, I pay a subscription that now is making me lose time ergo money because as we speak for more than an hour I am trying to update a pdf with Adobe Acrobat reader pro, which again, it was taking me less than 3mins and now I constantly need to have this annoying useless pop up saying that Adobe is encountering trouble shooting issues or w/e and it;s closing my work, and need to start again... come on
Just for quick workaround, in case you are stuck on onboarding again, we have implemeted Escape onboarding functionality which you can get away by pressing 'Esc' key. Additionally you can quit the app and relaunch acrobat.
