Seeking source for Adobe Acrobat Reader x64

Windows 10 Pro, Ver. 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1083)

Howdy Folks,
I'm looking for the "latest and greatest" version of Adobe Reader. I've learned it has been only available as x32 but that x64 is coming; maybe already here (?) and is much faster.

I've found <AcroRdrDC2100520058_en_US.exe> with a date of mid July 2021

and a July 28, 2021 64-bit update <AcroRdrDCx64Upd2100520060.msp>
Here: 21.005.20060 Optional update, July 28, 2021 (Windows Only) — Release Notes for Acrobat DC Products
which appears to be only for (?) Enterprise versions; though I may be wrong.

Rather than being sorry I tried them out (even with a backup image) I'm asking for comments or advice here.

TIA to all who read this post and to those who reply.

Not sure what would happen if we tried downloading and installing the 64-bit version from outside the specified supported area: Download Acrobat DC 64-bit for Windows

@steve108
1. That looks like it's just for Acrobat Pro ($$) DC, not Acrobat Reader Pro DC
2. I considered trying to download from another area (VPN?), but the "DC" tells me is likely an Adobe Cloud program which I suspect would toss me a big error message.

At least I know it coming, so I may wait or try 32-bit ver. hoping the upgrade to 64-bit will be straightforward.
Thanks for looking into it !

I've found that any time a software has Pro added to the name/title it is a paid-for product. Adobe has had a time with names, for a long time the free was Adobe Acrobat Reader then for awhile it was called Adobe Reader and the last I downloaded was back to Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I've been using the free FoxIt Reader but if wanting Adobe Acrobat Reader I go to MajorGeeks.Com - MajorGeeks to get the full download of 180+ MB file instead of the 1.xMB streaming install.
Download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - MajorGeeks
That link goes to
Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

Thanks for the links. It appear they are the same one(s) I used before starting this post, but - in the meantime - MajorGeeks updated <AcroRdrDC2100520058_en_US.exe> (187,591 KB) to <AcroRdrDC2100520060_en_US.exe> (187,622 KB). I suspect the "60" may indicate it's 64-bit, so I'll give it a go.
Stay tuned,


Well, I got the 32-bit version, but at least it's the latest and greatest and appears to be much more comprehensive than I expected.
My thanks to all!


Marked solved (for now)!
