Exiting implementaion 

C# code 

Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AcroExch.AVDoc") !== null , means the Adobe Acrobat is installed.

 

But after the latest Adobe 64 bit reader installation, the above condition is true for Adobe Reader itself. So how we can detect which Adobe(Reader or Acrobat) is installed.

 

Enviirment Details 

Windows 10 64bit os 

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (64bit)

If Reader is doing that now, you can try to use different APIs to see if one fails and can be trapped as an exception. Maybe try to get the JSObject.
