How do I use free Acrobat Reader + paid Photoshop at the same time?

Question

I recently signed up for a free trial of Adobe Acrobat, but I’ve been told that Acrobat Reader is free. I want to try it and see if it does what I need it to do so I don’t have to subscribe to the pro version. However, despite downloading and installing Reader, I cannot access it. Everything opens up in just Pro. I searched this and several people suggested logging out of Acrobat Pro. I tried that, but it wants to log me out of all Adobe programs, not just that one. How can I use just the free version of Reader without being logged out of Photoshop?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.
You may uninstall the Reader or Acrobat you already have installed. And then try installing Reader from this page: https://adobe.ly/4fLUDlz

Don't log in with the same Adobe ID that you initially tried during a trial period. If it keeps asking, try creating a new Adobe ID.

Let us know if you have any questions.
