I need a copy of Adobe Reader Xi for Windows Server 2012.

I have two servers running as part of a remote desktop farm.  One of them has Reader Xi installed and works fine.  The other has reader DC and that one won't work properly in this environment.  So I need a copy of XI to install on this server so I can have two working versions.  The downloads page for older versions I was on does not give me an option for Xi.  Does anyone have a link that will get me a copy of the XI version of Reader?

Apologies. The web interface is designed to make it easy for users. All of the installers are always available for download. In this case, use the ftp site and choose what you want:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/

However my 400 clients wouldn't agree with you. When adobe gets DC working under remote desktop then I'll upgrade.

Go here: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

If you make the correct selections (e.g. older OSes) then you will get the option to download Adobe Reader XI.

Seems like the wrong thing to do.  Since we're on the page to download older versions, why can't I get a list of versions in step 3.  Installing a Windows/XP version on Server 2012 seems likely to cause more problems than it fixes.  I understand Adobes reluctance to support older version of their software, but making it impossible to find and install the last major update is a bit heavy handed, especially since the new version does not work in this environment.

The updates are combine so you would only need to bootstrap the last update.
