How to download Acrobat Reader on Android directly?

Hello!

 

How to download Acrobat Reader on Android directly?

Not through the Google Store?

I would like to do this directly from Adobe side.
Adobe Reader is available here
https://get.adobe.com/pl/reader/
but when I enter from Android, it redirects to the store.
However, on the computer I can download the Android version.
I would like to be able to do this from Android.

 

Regards

    Does Opera mini allows you to switch to desktop mode?

     

    Maybe that can help . If not , download and install Brave Browser.

     

     


    Thank you very much for your help.
    I made a mistake in the address.
    I apologize for the mistake.
    Everything is working now.

    I just tested both links and it works. You are probably are using Firefox or Chrome . Whatever browser you are using in your mobile device you have to block Ads, Regional AdBlock, enable some sort of Fingerprinting Portection, and maybe allowing cookies but blocking third-party cookies.

     

    The link that you provided did not redirected me to the Goolge Playstore. You  may have to dig what you are doing wrong in your Android device

    I have "Allow Installation of Apps from sources other than PlayStore ..." enabled.
    I use Opera Mini.

    I don't have AdBlock, Fingerprinting Portection, etc.

    You are using the wrong link.

     

    You need to use a full offline installer of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Go to this link instead:

    Slelect Android from the pulldown menu and follow the steps. It will download in a matter of 3-5 seconds.

     

    For best results don't use firefox or Chrome browser. Use a browser that has better privacy features and that allows to block redirects .

     

    You also have to go to your Android Security Settings and tick "Allow Installation of Apps from sources other than PlayStore..."

     

    Ensure you download the right version for your device or you will not be able to install

    What is the problem with the store?

    I don't want to create an account on Google.

    I would like to download Adobe Reader just like on Windows on a computer - without creating any account.

    On the Windows system download the .apk file and install it on the Android system.
