My computer is Window 8, I tried to download old version pdf reader but still cannot install.

Previously I can use pdf reader in Window 8, but after updated to upper version, it said there is one missing file in system, therefore I cannot use it.

But I found chrome can open pdf file, then I uninstall the reader. But now chrome cannot open some pdf file, so I would like to install reader.

    Why settle for less if getting the latest & safest reader for free.

    Get it from  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

    Let us know about your experience.

    Hi amyl62820577

    We apologize for the delay in follow up.

    Looking at the screenshot, I believe the error message says "Newer version is already installed". If this is the case, then you may install the required Windows update, because the error is shown due to a missing update for Universal C Runtime in Windows.

    You can install the update using one of the following ways given in the help article here: Error 1722 while installing/updating Acrobat DC/Acrobat Reader DC on Windows

    Hoping that you have managed to install the application by now.

    Thanks,

    Akanchha
