Installing Older Version of Acrobat Reader

[lapisteve10400]

I have tried Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and am not happy with the user interface and functionality. I would like to reinstall the older version. Adobe's web site indicates that installing the older version is possible, but whenever I proceed with the download it defaults to Acrobat Reader DC. How can I find and install the older version? Thanks.

Hi lapisteve,

I assume that the older version of Adobe Reader that you are looking for is Adobe Reader XI? Because in Reader XI is the previous version of Reader DC in the series of  Adobe Reader.

You may refer to the- Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader and can install the Adobe Reader XI and then the consecutive updates.

Let us know if this is what you were looking for or if that helps.

Regards,

Akanchha

Can you help me? I read the info on the link and all i see is acrobat dc. I do not like that, i do not want it and I did not download the update, it must have been automatic in the security suite i am getting rid of (precisely because of this nonsense). Please can you PLEASE show me where the link it to get acrobat reader XI? or whatever, the pone before dc, which I do NOT like at all.

Hey Pankaj,

As shared by BerndAlheit  it doesn't ask for the login information. Could you please share the screenshot of the page where it asks for the login information?
