    Older Adobe reader that will work with Windows 11

    I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader and it doesn't work for me. Before the big update of this site someone sent me an older version of the Reader that worked really well with my old laptop (Windows 10). if anyone has a older copy of the Adobe Reader, I would sure appreciate a copy.

    Thanks.

      Why wouldn't you want to use the current version? Older versions are going to leave you vulnerable to any issues in the version of the application. It's going to be easier to fix whatever issue you have with the current app rather than open yourself up to multiple vulnerabilities.

        I have been using Acrobat Reader 9 for years.
        From the Adobe Community discussion page "you can download any Reader version from the Adobe FTP site. Here is the direct download for Reader 9.0 (English) http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adob...dr90_en_US.exe "

            Are you saying that Ricoh manuals might contain malware?

              Thank you again slimslob for getting me what I needed.

              rthonpm, I find the latest version of Acrobat Reader cumbersome and over bolted with features I don't need or want. 90% of the time I'm looking at Kyocera, Sharp, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, Okidata(almost useless), and the occasional Toshiba manuals and bulletins. Acrobat Reader 9 does what I need.

              I do wish to thank you for the warning. This is another reason why our little community is kinda great IMHO.
