Hi,

There is a Microsoft Store version of Adobe Reader.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/p/adobe-reader-touch/9wzdncrfj2gc?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Will there be any plans to update the app to the latest standards of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

Correct answer Test Screen Name

No. It’s old and almost obsolete. It only really still exists because the regular Reader can’t run in Windows RT.

Yes, new Adobe Reader is available for Windows 11 in Store.

You're right. The new rules for the Windows 11 store means it is there (but it is no longer called Adobe Reader, the name is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC). It is NOT in the Windows 10 store. But the Windows 10 store seems to have a product with Adobe Acrobat in the name, which is made by someone else entirely. I wonder how long it will stay there, since Adobe and Acrobat are trademarks...

Well with Adobe publishing other apps in the Microsoft Store, Adobe should consider uploading Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on the Store as well.

Why do you care, by the way, whether it's in the App Store?

Easier to deploy among my various devices

Auto-update from the store

No need for admin rights to install

Able to install in S Mode or Windows ARM Devices

Apple did it with iTunes on the Microsoft Store (Which is the full desktop app btw), Im pretty sure Adobe can do so too.
