Hi Knuttle,
I have several customer that rely on Acrobat Reader.
They have the same issues you are having. To
work around it, I install the actual package and
happy camping returns.
The "stub" (and junkware) installer on Adobe's Acrobat Reader
download page is terrible crap. So is their update
utility.
I download and install (run) the actual package from
  https://ardownload2.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/
The current release is:
https://ardownload2.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/2300620380/AcroRdrDCx642300620380_en_US.exe

For DC Continuous - just use the Enterprise download site for the full offline installer and select the O/S, the language(specific locale or
All Languages MUI).
 Single locale downloads 64 bit version full offline installer
 All languages provides option for 32 bit and 64 bit version full
offline installer
<https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/>
Fyi...Enterprise in the above applies to he web site hosting the
installer, not to be confused as an 'enterprise version'

I download the 64 bit version on purpose.  I have zero

installation of Reader. I have foudn that

I just remembered something from long ago, but I don't remember if it happened with adobe downloads. Could be vmware or adobe. Over a decade ago.
Going to their page I got a download link that would work for a limited
time outside of firefox. After an hour or two, it failed. I think they
wanted to know how many people downloaded it.
See above.

It's buzzword compliant.
That's all it has going for it.
You can use it to fill out a Jetform variant of PDF.
The FOSS world does not have complete support for "everything"
that Adobe says can go into documents. It's up to the user
community to not use whizzy stuff, and then we don't need
buzzword compliance any more. Maybe government tax forms,
are the most abusive source of buzzword compliance issues.
I don't even know if there is a complete set of test documents,
that demonstrate every possible thing Adobe says can go in there.
For example (maybe I got this wrong), there is some dual-representation
of PDF available where it has the normal PDF objects, but it also
has a copy of the MSWord source for the document.
Some sort of scheme
so the document can be edited, at some sort of source level. If such
a thing exists, I don't have any samples. This would be something
Office munches on, rather than an issue for the Reader. The Reader
would just ignore the rest of the info.
It's a "very junky" file type :-) You can put a movie into a PDF,
and then there is a player window in the middle of a page of text.
And a number of features are supported by Javascript to make
programming for them (I keep Javascript OFF in the Preferences).
Paul
I use Acrobat Reader because, quite simply, it's the best at what it does. I've
tried a handful of the popular alternatives, but each of them always comes up short sooner or later.
When one doesn't render a document correctly, I would try another reader. Maybe
that one works, but maybe not. That means needing to have multiple readers installed.
With Acrobat, it just works every time, leading me to remove all of the others.

Some parts of 64 bit Adobe reader appear to still be 32 bit, for instance some stuff to do with auto updating stays as 32 bit and, IIRC, it stays

Hi Brian,
I found another one this week.
1) in Control Panel "programs and features", remove Acrobat
reader and any associated Acrobat junkware.
2) go to both Program File directories. Remove Adobe
acrobat files. They are under the "Adobe" folder.
Also remove adobe/acrobat from both the program files
"common files" directories as well
3) download and install https://ardownload2.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/AcrobatDC/2300620380/AcroRdrDCx642300620380_en_US.exe
Nothing important or professional, just another

Yes, and you will find some stuff, probably mainly or completely to do
with updating gets installed in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe"
including a 32 bit program that runs in the background whenever you use Windows.
