Is acrobat reader DC the same as reader 8 or 10?

[amymcarthur]

Hello, I am trying to open a PDF with my adobe acrobat reader dc lastest version.  I am receiving an error msg saying "the document you are trying to load requires adobe reader 8 or higher".  My question is, and forgive my lack of understanding, is reader 8 the same as reader dc?  I'm not sure why the latest version of reader dc can't open the PDF.  

When I go to the adobe website to try download reader 8 or 10, it only gives me the reader dc option in the drop down menu.

Hope someone can shed some light, thanks

Does you open the file in Acrobat Reader or in a browser?

It's giving me the error message that it can't load the file unless I have adobe reader 8 or higher in google browser

The Google browser doesn't use Acrobat Reader.

Open the file in Acrobat Reader, not in Google Chrome!

it worked Bernd! I saved the link as a file (right click) and it opened in Adobe.  Thanks so much!

Latest versions are:

2008 : Adobe Reader 9

2010 : Adobe Reader X (10)

2012 : Adobe Reader XI (11)

2015 : Acrobat Reader DC (for Document Cloud, not for 600), which is a "continuous release".
