Use Acrobat Pro DC from flashdrive

I have Acrobat Pro DC on my computer but I cannot take my laptop with me.  I teach a scripture class in a state prison, therefore I can only use the computer provided by the prison and it does not have acrobat on it nor does it have an internet connection.  I have a copy of the scriptures in PDF format and with my Pro DC capability I have put some comments on particular verses.  I thought I would save it onto a flashdrive that can be read by their computer.  Any ideas how to read the scriptures and comments under these limitations?

    I will suggest two steps:

     

    1) In your personal computer with Adobe Acrobat, save your commented documents using the following option:

         a. "File" ---- Save as Other " --- "Reduced Size PDF"  (this will make your files smaller in size, more portable)

     

    and then, save again, the same reduced in size file like this:

     

        b. "File" --- "Save As Other" --->"Reader Extended" --->"Enable More Tools" (this last saving method will allow you to print, fill & sign, add comments,  and save a copy using Adobe Reader (to include older versions of the Reader)

     

     

     

    2) Then download the free Adobe Reder from this links:https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

    Make sure that before download, that in the computer that you will be using for scripture class at the state prison, that you can confirm the minimal system requirements and  the operating system.  

     

        a. Copy the downloaded off-line installer to the USB drive

        b. Copy your "Saved As" PDF files onto the USB drive

        c. Arrive early on the day of your class, as you will have to plugin this USB key on that state prison computer, run the installation  and setup program, and test if it works (you don't want to look bad in front of a class.

     

    NOTE: If I were you,  I would do this the day before so that on the day that you instruct the class you can jump straight into the scriptures with comments with no delays and  no issues. There is nothing worst than having an audience waiting for the speaker to fix and troublshoot crap with a computer; it does not look professional (your most valuable asset here is the scriptures, make sure that the computer that the state prison is lending you is not gonna make a mockery out of you in front your audience)
