Hello @p.alirezahahaghighi , and @default800aub48xmh5

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

By default, Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on the C: drive because the Adobe installer uses system directories (such as Program Files and shared libraries) that depend on Windows’ default system paths. 

 

You can use the offline installer and customize the installation path during setup. Download from the direct link, and follow the onscreen instructions. 

 

Please note: 

 

  • Some components (like shared Adobe services or fonts) may still install to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe.
  • Updates and patches will continue to apply normally, even if installed on a different drive.
  • If you're deploying across multiple systems, you can use the Adobe Customization Wizard to preconfigure the install path and other settings.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

@noam_2759 You likely can, but why would you? It's likely that some essential components and data for Adobe Acrobat Reader will still reside on your C: drive for it to function correctly.
