Hi all. I ahve a question which I'm having trouble finding the answer to. 

I have a new mac mini which I use to work from home if I need to or to use with the rest of my household for personal stuff. So three users. 

I run my CC account from work (1 seat), and from home (2nd seat). The rest of the household would like to open acrobat reader to view PDFs however it keeps opening full acrobat  and requiring a sign in and a subscription. Signing in is fine, I have aseperate adobe acount for personal stuff, however it is demanding me chose a subscription. I don't need one, I just need to view a PDF using the reader. 

Can't install Reader as it wants to install computer-wide and then refuses to do so as I have Pro installed on my work user login.

In short is there a way to be able to open PDFs in reader mode on the non work related users on my mac and to have my work CC login run ok with acrobat on my work user login on the same machine? I find it daft that Adobe insists on installing acrobat for the entire machine and then limits it to either subscription or to reader versions across the entire install machine-wide. All other apps (like InDesign) have been installed locally for the work user exclusively.
