There is also no requirement to be online unless you need to use services. Can you be more specific with your question? Is this for an enterprise install?

Many sites I've found offer Adobe Reader as 32-bit/64-bit versions.
All I want is the 64-bit version that I can download and then install, as needed, to my other computers.
AcroRdrDC1901020098_en_US.exe installs only as a 32-bit version as does AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe. WHY?
The only answer I got was: "There is no 64-bit version AFAIK" Seriously?
Every time I try to download Reader from Adobe's site, the third item (Install) is grayed out! What gives???
While I'm venting; I would love to upgrade My Lightroom 5 but I refuse to be forced into Adobe's subscription model. OnOne is looking much better as an alternative.
There is no 64 bit version of Acrobat (any version) or Reader (11.x and earlier). I doubt there's a Reader DC 64 bit version, but I've pinged the team to verify that.
The installers you've downloaded are 32 bit and will only install 32 bit. . . .
Can't speak to the 3rd party site statement above. They can't offer a Reader/Acrobat product Adobe doesn't make.
Without knowing what page you're on wrt to the "grayed out" item, it's difficult to answer your question. Admins usually get downloads from the ftp site: Find links here: Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home
Reader is 64 bit on Mac because Apple are turning off 32 bit. Reader is 32 bit on Windows. I don't know what these "many sites" are, but only Adobe are allowed to ship it. All the others are breaking the license. Often this is to try to trick you into installing malware. Perhaps they try to make it more exciting, like a nonexistent 64 bit version, to lure more people into their trap.
PS I find sites with titles like "Adobe Reader - Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)" but of course the 32-bit and 64-bit version it's talking about is Windows 7, not Adobe Reader.
