The newest version of Acrobat Reader released yesterday (2/13/18) broke an application that utilizes Acrobat Reader. I need to downgrade the program but earlier versions do not seem to be available. Adobes FTP site only has upgrade files and not full installs.
Hi There,
Looks like Adobe have an ftp repo of legacy installers:
ftp://www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar
If you are not on windows go up a level to:
ftp://www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar
Have to love the fact that even the pocketpc version is there, aaah take me back.
Thanks

Thanks Osman! I was on their FTP site but only saw upgrade msp files. I finally located the full install under another folder.
Great, glad you found what you needed.

www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar has all the previous releases as well
They have a lot of versions but the most recent is from (Version ) I think Adobe is trying to control the ability to use prior versions by making it harder to get the full installs.
Frankly, no disrespect intended, I am not sure that I would trust a third party repository when the official one is available.
I agree Osman. I used the Adobe FTP site and found what I needed.
Unfortunately after I installed the older version of Reader, I didn't properly disable the updater service and someone updated to the latest version first thing this morning. This again broke what the downgrade fixed yesterday. It seems the updater service needs to be modified with a dat file to prevent it from reactivating itself.
I found this on Adobe's site: Disable auto-updates | Application Manager | IT administrators
