I need the reader on a new PC and seems you all want me to install a cloud version, we don't want your crap Adobe.

Where can I find a plain reader without the cloud crap?

    Equally Photoshop is just a local app with the option of cloud storage. I have no idea what you mean by "trickery". It's a bad name but no trick so far as I can see.

    They took Photoshop to the cloud and make you pay for it monthly, not feasible when using it for a hobby. Trickery meaning they disguise the fact DC is there cloud crap. You ever look at all of the stuff Adobe loads onto your machine...it's unreal.

      PS, and all other apps, are still installed on your local computer. Yes, they require online activation from time to time, but that doesn't mean you always have to be connected to use them, or that you can't save files locally, instead of to the cloud.
      And as someone who only uses PS "for a hobby", as you say, you should be happy with this subscription model. You can start and stop it as you please, instead of paying a one-time large sum for something that you might not need to use that often.

      That's what it is. Just don't use the free cloud storage, I don't.

      To clarify you can choose the non DC version in the third drop down. I think they have changed this since I was tricked into installing the DC version a few weeks back as I don't recall seeing these options.

      After this continued cloud model and trickery by Adobe, I had to give up Photoshop for the cloud, I've just decided to just quit using Adobe's reader altogether and will learn to deal with the Chrome reader.

        You really know how to ask a question. Did you actually look into what the "cloud" thing meant, or did you just jump to conclusions 'cause you didn't like the sound of it?

          I was 'tricked' into installing this cloud thing that I had no idea what to do with. Then I did read about it and figured out that I don't need Adobe's version of cloud storage, especially with Adobe's terrible abilities at making a decent UI.

          I just want a PDF reader.
