I use an add-in that is only available currently for 32 bit which I wasn't aware of when I upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version to 64 bit. I can't find a link to the 32 bit installer.  Can I reinstall the 32 bit version?

Correct answer Amal.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. 

 

Please remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html reboot the computer and reinstall the application using the link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html

 

To stop the Acrobat Reader DC 32-bit application from automatically upgrading to the 64-bit version, create the following registry key before the first launch of the application as described in the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/about-acrobat-reader-dc-migration-to-64-bit.html
Note: Steps are the same for Acrobat DC

Are you using Mac or Windows?

Mac is 64 bit due to the OS. 

Most Windows installers are 32 bit by default. For example, with the Creative Cloud or Technical Communication Suite. 

 

You can find some installers here:
