Acrobat Reader vs Acrobat Reader DC

[Harold Stanley]

I just downloaded Acrobat Reader DC.  I still have Acrobat Reader as an application in my computer.  Do I need to keep the old version or is it safe to eliminate it?

Thanks,

Harold

The other app is probably called Adobe Reader. But it's just a renaming. What version is the other app? "DC" is just a version.

The new version (DC) is 17.009.20044     Date 5/13/17

The older version is 11.0.19     Date 2/8/17

I know these version numbers do not make much sense but this is the information I have.

They do make sense, actually. The version before DC was 11 (or XI).

You can remove it if you have DC.
