What is the newest version with longest life cycle of Adobe Reader?

In All Apps Help | Products and technical support periods , I found only Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (Classic) 2015 and the end of core support year is 2020, but I cannot found Adobe Acrobat reader 2017 in that page.

And In Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions , I can only download DC version, but 2017 version is still releasing updates.

Anyone can tell me which version is the newest version with longest life cycle?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Homanw,

Sorry for the delay in response.

As you need to install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, you can install it from here Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

There is nothing like longest life cycle as application get quarterly updates with new feature and fix patches.

So, if you install any of the version classic or continuous, you will get the quarterly updates for both.

You can refer this help link Document Cloud Product Tracks — Enterprise Administration Guide for more information on updates.

Hope the information helps.

Let us know if you have any question.

Regards,

Meenakshi

Hi,

unfortunately, this is no full answer to the question. I am in the same situation, needing to know how long Reader Classic 2017 will be supported and what and when the next classic track version will be.

Please update to the support matrix here, which is clearly outdated:

Thanks!
