Question

Installing Adobe Reader X (10.1.8)

Hi everyone,

An Adobe support technician told me that for a friend of mine to see sticky notes I added with the current version of Adobe Reader, he needs to view the document with that version of the program.  But he needs to run Adobe Reader X (10.1.8) instead.  So I tried to install that version on my new laptop's hard disk.  Since Adobe's server gave me the current version of the program when the icon told me that I would get the older version of the program, please tell me where and how to get the installer for that one.  Thanks.

    I should have written more specifically about what caused the trouble.  The highlighting vanished because I forgot to add the .pdf extension to the file names.  Windows 10 doesn't tell my computer to check a file's contents to identify the file's kind.  To know that a file contains a pdf document, the computer needs to see the ".pdf" extension in the file name.

    Everyone, I know what went wrong.  Since I'm working with a huge pdf document with about 1,300 pages, I've been printing to files to email 10-page chunks my boss wanted.  The highlighting appears in the whole document but not in the chunks.  My laptop doesn't seem to know that pdf files contain the chunks.

    Never print PDF to PDF. Acrobat has tools to extract pages.

    Hi BillMcEnaney,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. As described above, you want to install Adobe Reader X, correct?

     

    Adobe Reader X is an old and end of support product. The installation server, security patchs and updates are no longer available. 

     

    For detailed information, you may please refer to the help article - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/end-of-support-acrobat-x-reader-x.html

     

    Regards,

    Amal

    Thank you, Amal. The program's age doesn't matter to me. If I need to use Adobe Reader X to show my boss the sticky notes I've added, I'll do that. So I wish someone would tell me where to get that program's installer because Adobe Tech Support told me that someone at this forum would know where I can get it. Best, Bill.

    I would be astonished if there is a legal Reader X available for download. Either you still have it installed on an old machine or you need to have downloaded the installer some time ago, when it was still available on the Adobe website. And the programs age may matter as it may be impossible to install on current machines.

    Hi.


    It's useless.
    There is nothing you can do with Adobe Reader X that you can not do with Acrobat Reader DC.

    You can see Sticky Notes with any Reader version older than 6.

    Thank you. He can add sticky notes with Adobe Reader X and I can add them with DC, but I need to know how to make his computer display my notes for him. I can't go to his office because it's a 2.5-hour drive from here and I don't drive.
