I regularly work on 4 home computers and I have a single Creative Cloud license. I do most of my photo editing on one desktop computer. On the other laptop computers I edit photos occasionally so I have Creative Cloud software installed on them but rarely use it. However, I need to read pdfs on all the computers all the time. But in order to read pdfs I can't use the Adobe pdf reader because Acrobat always opens when I try to open the pdfs and requires a log in, which requires me to log out of Creative Cloud on my other computers. Just to READ a pdf on a computer where I'm not doing any editing. Having to log in and log out of Creative Cloud every time I switch computers is nuts! I'm not editing anything on all the computers at once. I just want to read a pdf with a free pdf reader on one of my laptops. Why do I need to tie up my Creative Cloud license to READ a PDF? In order to get around this, I had to download Foxit PDF reader. But why can't I use the Adobe PDF READER which is free to people who don't buy the Creative Cloud license. Any solutions besides going to another company's pdf reader?
Sorry for the delay in responding to your question.
Many users who had both Reader and Acrobat installed were having trouble when making operations on PDF files, and they ended up using Reader instead of Acrobat. That was creating a lot of trouble for users.
Currently, the only workaround is to use Acrobat 32-bit on your machine, allowing you to use both Reader and Acrobat.
