Is Acrobat Reader 7 the "highest" level that is available for free? I'm trying to open a document that requires 8 or higher. When I try to download, the "box" says that I have 7 installed (true) but doesn't offer an opportunity to upgrade.

I tried to download a file and received the message that the file required Adobe Reader 8.0 or higher to be opened. When I click on properties, all I see is Acrobat Reader DC. Perhaps I do have the latest version and the problem is with the site from which I'm trying to download a doc.
This just means that you are using a browser that uses its own pdf viewer and not the Reader plug-in. Not much you can do to fix the browser but instead of opening it in that browser, right-click the "link" to the pdf file, save it to your computer and use File>Open from within Reader itself to open the pdf. If I had to guess, I would say you are trying to view a form. The other pdf viewers the browsers use stink at opening certain types of forms.
TADA! Right-clicked on "Open link in new window" and the document downloaded. I'm using Chrome and I have the Chrome compatibility "thingy" checked.
Thanks to all for the suggestions!
