How do I install Adobe Acrobat reader without the download manager?
-
I have been asking myself the same question many times. Adobe used to have acrobat available as a standalone download on their FTP site, but it seems they have pulled it.– MajenkoMar 22, 2011 at 12:04

My problem is that 'download manager' doesn't work through the corporate firewall. The FTP site does the trick!– John MApr 18, 2011 at 16:11

Very inane to password protect the download. It is blocked by corporate firewalls and searching google leads to non-adobe software– mplungjanOct 5, 2011 at 9:43

You can download the standalone installations of many Adobe products from their FTP site - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/.
For Acrobat Reader specifically you can download 10.0.1 for Windows (the current latest) here - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.1/en_US/AdbeRdr1001_en_US.exe

Current/future full versions can be found below ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader You'll be able choose your OS from there and then version.– marklarkFeb 11, 2016 at 22:39
I prefer SumatraPDF over the others it is extremely lightweight and free. I did use Foxit in the past but it became to bloated for me.

I use Sumatra for years now and it is exactly what everyone needs: Open and View PDFs very fast. I can really recommend it and you can forget the Adobe Reader.– FiveOJul 9, 2013 at 11:20

Whilst true, I'm not sure suggesting an alternative reader is that helpful. I would expect someone on superuser know adobe isn't the only pdf viewer in the world. This would probably merit a comment but not an answer.– CaltorApr 13, 2015 at 21:33
Program EXE: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/en_US/AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe

Why not just point out that adobe.com/support/downloads/… always has a link to the latest version (as well as archive versions). In any case you need to provide more information than just a link or your answer wil be closed.– DavidPostill ♦Jul 30, 2015 at 9:41

@DavidPostill - I need a full installer to put on a non-Internet-connected PC. And I don't really fit the bill for a re-distributor... The .com/support/downloads link gives you a stub application that serves as a downloader/installer...– marklarkFeb 10, 2016 at 21:15
I don't think you can. If you just want to read PDFs you could get something like Foxit Reader.
(I am not affiliated with Foxit)
Current/future full versions can be found below ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
You'll be able choose your OS from there and then version.
(They make a lot of software and starting at the top of 'ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe' can get you side-tracked by a link to 'acrobatreader' which has versions up to around v5.0)
