helleo, I  am looking for an old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, the most simple.

How and where can I find it please ?

I don't want Adode Acrobat Resader DC.

I have no use for correcting the documents inside.

I just want to put my Word Documents into a PDF with an old and free version without malware in it.

The website of Adobe does not allow to do it.

They only give the DC version of Adobe Acrobat Reader but it is too complex for me. 

Thalnk you.

    ADOBE READER 11.0.08 is much faster then the new Adobe Acrobat DC.  ADOBE READER 11.0.08 works very well on Windows 10 and Windows 11. 

    Uninstalled the Adobe Acrobat DC and get Adobe 11.0.08 ( the older version ) at https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/?c=76342

    1.  Select Operating system : Windows XP SP3 (even with Windows 10 or Windows 11)

    2. Language: English

    3. Version: Reader 11.0.08 English for Windows.

    4.  While installing Adobe Reader 11.0.08, you will be asked to look for update: Select NO UPDATES.

    5.  After installation, go to Windows 10/11 Default Apps and make Adobe Reader 11.0.08 default pdf.

    6. Enjoy a faster computer!

    Saving a PDF in Word is just a part of Word (2007 and later). Nothing to do with any Adobe software. Makes a basic PDF, Acrobat Pro does better, but if you just want to do that, why not do it...? What are we missing.

    By the way you say you downloaded Acrobat, but elsewhere you say you downloaded Reader (Acrobat Reader). Be very clear, these are different things. Acrobat you pay for.

    Reader never made PDFs. If you had something like Reader that made PDFs you had Acrobat (paid for) or a subscription. Perhaps you still have it. Can you remember what you did to make a PDF (what menu or button or whatever, roughly)?

    The free software called at times Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader has never made PDF files for free. Reader works with add-on subscription services to make a PDF. Old versions will not change this.
