How to save downloaded and opened PDF file directly into my laptop, versus saving file in the cloud? Can I delete DC and install Acrobat Reader, which is fine and more user-friendly for my needs, and much, much more secure?

[stephenf95557665]

I somehow downloaded and installed Adobe DC as a purported upgrade to the existent Acrobat Reader installed in my laptop.

The DC app has been a disaster for me in terms of generating extra work and convoluted navigation.

Also, I do NOT trust nor want a cloud-based app due to profound, and hard-learned, concerns about privacy and security, plus occasional loss of online connectivity and access, which exigency can make me SOL in terms of using such an external cloud-based app.

Questions:

[1] How can I save a downloaded and opened PDF file directly into my laptop, versus saving file in the cloud and then copying into laptop folder? That multi-step process inside DC is a frustrating PITA, as Adobe Acrobat Reader had been sufficient for my purposes.

[2] Alternately, can I delete DC and install current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is fine and more user-friendly for my needs, and much, much more secure?

Many thanks in advance for readers' attention and timely advisement & assistance. Today is Tuesday, November 3, 2015.

Hi stephenf95557665,

1) You can simply save the file on your computer like you used to save in the older version of Reader, its not necessary to save i ton document cloud.

    If you save file on document cloud you will be able to access it from anywhere from any system.

2) If you still think users need older version then they can surely uninstall the latest one & reinstall the older version using this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

This is not correct as the file button is dim and not able to open..
