How to Install Acrobat Reader With the Paid Version
- 1). Visit the Adobe Reader download page (see Resources) to download the installation utility. Save the file to your desktop.
- 2). Double-click the downloaded executable and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation of Adobe Reader. You will now have both the paid version of Acrobat and the free version of Reader installed on your computer.
- 3). Locate a PDF file you wish to open from your hard drive.
- 4). Right-click the file and select "Open with Adobe Reader" to avoid opening the file in Acrobat. It should open faster in this smaller application.
