After installing Adobe Acrobat, can I install DC reader with a different profile?

@Paul35018292vdi6 wow, it's thoughtful of you to consider the end-user perspective! Unfortunately, its tricky to install and run both versions simultaneously on the same device without potential conflicts. In many cases, installing Pro can override or prevent the installation of the standalone Reader, as the Pro version essentially includes all the Reader functionalities and then some. Adobe often designs their software to unify the experience, meaning the same application might simply switch between "Reader" and "Pro" modes depending on your login and license. 

If you have multiple user accounts on your laptop, you might be able to install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on a separate user profile that doesn't have the Adobe Acrobat Pro license associated with it. When you switch to that user account, you could then launch Reader DC.

While not exactly the free Reader, Adobe Acrobat Pro does have accessibility features built in, including a "Read Out Loud" tool which functions as a basic screen reader. You can find this under "View" > "Read Out Loud." It also has tools for checking accessibility and reading order. While it might not perfectly replicate the free Reader experience, it could give you a good sense of how a screen reader interacts with your ADA-compliant PDFs within the Adobe ecosystem. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/create-verify-pdf-accessibility.html
