Video Tutorial on Acrobat Reader 2017, not DC

I'm looking for a video tutorial on standard Acrobat Reader 2017 - not the DC version.  I say this because, while I realize they are the same, all the video's I'm seeing reference some online features that I 'believe' are only available with the DC version (e.g., saving to the cloud).  I could be wrong. Does anyone have a video tutorial link to a non-DC version of Reader 2017?

    Ok. But that doesn't change anything. The link I supplied above is the current and supported standalone version of Adobe Reader.

    There is no difference. They are one and the same. DC is a standalone version (as in can be downloaded and installed rather than ran through a server). 2017 is just a version number of DC.

    There are a few tutorials out there you can find using Google. Just be sure you find one for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC instead of Adobe Acrobat DC. They are different (yet in some ways similar) applications.

    The reason I'm asking is that we're rolling 2017 out to staff and I'd like to be able to just send them a link to a quick video instead of me creating one.  And...since there's one for the DC version (which I believe is 'almost' the same), I assumed there would be one for the standalone version as well.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You can download and install the free Reader from here: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

    I think you may be confusing a few different applications or services here.

    There are:

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - Free

    Adobe Acrobat DC - Not free, subscription

    Adobe PDFPack services - Not free, subscription

    Any of the "online features" you see will come with one of the paid-for versions.

    Nope, no confusion.  I am looking at the program installed on my computer.  It is called Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017.  Version 2017.011.30079 (Free).  We are not getting the DC, aka subscription version.  We are getting the Perpetual Version as Adobe likes to call it. Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Acrobat 2017

    I understand that while most DC / 2017 items are interchangeable, when I look at what I have on my computer, and what I'm seeing in this video here: Get to know Acrobat Reader DC | I can see there are differences.  In fact, in this video: Learn what all you can do with Acrobat Reader DC it also has items that reference 'Mobile Device on'.  Our program - perpetual version, does not allow users to do this.  So - wondering if there is a simple video for Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017.

    You are confusing applications again. Your link discusses Adobe Acrobat which is a paid-for version of software that does much more than the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. There is no subscription version of Reader. Please actually click on the link I posted above so you can see for yourself. Again, you are confusing Acrobat Reader for Acrobat and they are not the same at all.
