Downloading free acrobat version for Surface Laptop 7

Every time I download the Acrobat PDF viewer x32 bit for my SnapDragon Windows Surface 7 laptop, the program forces me to login and sign up for Pro to use it. I don’t need Pro. And when I login that isn’t enough to satisfy the requirement of the program and it forces me through to purchase Pro and if i close out then the whole program shuts down with it.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program a number of times and I still cannot simply use the free version it seems. Can anyone provide any insight or direction to another download link?

The Surface 7 is SnapDragon but older models were Intel.

Acrobat, including Reader, are not optimized for SnapDragon. You can run in emulation using Windows Prism.

I understand it is not optimized for snapdragon but it is my understanding that there are old versions of adobe reader that can still work on the processor..

My issue isn’t that the reader doesn’t work/isn’t compatible, it is that I am trapped behind a paywall when it should be free.

How old are you talking about?
You should have the option to say “no” to the upgrade and it shouldn’t ask again.
