Reader free version. Why must I log in?

[Environmom]

I do not want to log in to use the free version of Reader.

I do not want to log in and stay logged in. I do not want to log in at all.

Thanks. 

How do I get the old version back?

I'd like to add that I spend a lot of time browsing. Every time I want to open a pdf, the Adobe log in page pops up. It will not close, I have to force quit. I do not like this, and it is really getting on my nerves.

Adobe give away Reader for free. They like you to be logged in so they can sell you stuff. Once signed in, you shouldn't be asked again, it should keep you signed in.
