How do I install Acrobat Reader on a computer with no Internet connection?

I have an elderly friend who does not have Internet access. She needs to be able view PDF files on her computer which is running Windows 7. I attempted to download Acrobat Reader install file and put it on a disk to take to her computer and install it there. When I opened the file, it did nothing. It just sat there. When I opened the file a second time, I got a message that it had errors. She lives 35 miles from me, so I need to get it right the next time! I would appreciate advice on the following:
What (free) Adobe PDF reader product / version would be best for her?
How do I download the necessary file(s) via my computer & Internet connection and copy them to a CD or USB thumb drive, then take the file(s) to her computer, install and get the reader program up and running for her?
Thank you for your help!

You can get the full Reader installation from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/
This is the XI version, which I think is more suitable for a computer without internet access, as the DC version will just nag you about connecting to the cloud and enabling "mobile link", which you obviously can't do without internet access.

How do I install Acrobat on a new computer?

The same way you would have on an older computer. You run the install program from the CD or the download you saved. You will need the S/N to complete the install. If you are no longer going to use the old computer, be sure to deactivate Acrobat on that machine.

You have to use the installer and serial number from the original purchase. You cannot transfer software by copying files.

Installing Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 with Vista 64bit

Hi
I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat reader on vista 64bit, but after install the Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 takes over all of the Vista desk top and windows apps.
I've searched for workarounds and found none, I cant be the only person with this problem, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have seen reports of this: what seems to happen is that for some
reason Reader gets associated with the EXE extension. It may be worth
searching for fixes for "vista exe association"

How can I install Reader on a computer with no internet?

I have an old Dell laptop with XP on it. It can not hook up to the internet. I want to put Reader on it so I can use the laptop to open shop manuals I have that are Adobe (PDF) files. I've tried several times to download different versions of reader (on my new computer which I then put on a thumb drive) and it tries to install them but eventually towards the end seeks to connect to the internet to look for updates or whatever. There must be a way to download a copy of reader (probably an older version like 9) on my new laptop so I can copy the file to the old laptop and install it without the program needing to go to the internet for something. HOW???

Thank you Claudio. I tried your suggestion. It did not work. Here is what happens: once I double click on the saved (on a thumb drive), downloaded file (reader 9.5.0) it starts to install. When it gets to the end, a window opens that says "downloading MSI update..." which of course it can't since that computer will NOT connect to the internet (this is an old Dell 600 with XP unknown service pack on it). Then I get the error window: "Adobe bootstrapper for single installation has encountered a problem and needs to close" which stops the installation. Then another window with "error code 150210". This is what happens every time with every downloaded version of Adobe reader I've tried. Any other suggestions? Thanks a bunch.

Good day Geoff,
You can download the Adobe Reader 10.0.0 installer .EXE file from here:

How can I install a jre on client machines with no Internet Access

Hi
I have a lot of client machines located throughout the country which are connected to a central network (Oracle) application server. The client machines do not have internet access. The application now uses an applet which is accessible from the network. I would like to use the <jsp:plugin> tag to automatically download and install a jre on the client browsers that don't have a jre installed, when they access the jsp page. Unfortunately, even using iepluginurl="http://server-address/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab, the client machines still need to access the internet to install the JRE as the cab file needs to access files at the Sun site.
Is there any online jre installer, that can be used on a network where the client machines do not have internet access? Or do I need to install the JRE manually on each machine? The browsers are all Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Thanks
David

Thanks for your reply ChuckBing.
Unfortunately I had already copied the instructions I found in the Sun documentaion to the letter and it still needed access to the internet. In the end I solved the problem by pointing the iepluginurl to a non existent file and putting a URL, pointing to an offline JRE executable on the server, as the message that appears when the applet cannot be loaded. The clients then have the choice of downloading the JRE or installing it online by clicking on the URL.
Thanks anyway.
David

How can I install Mac OSX on a computer with no OS

I just bought a PowerMac G5, but it has no OS and the graphics card is shot. I have tried booting via Firewire, but nothing showed up in Start Up Disks. What can I do?

Try to find one on e-bay but if you buy the gray disks be careful as they are machine specific and will have to be for a G5.
If you buy the full retail version these are black and will work on most machines.
Just ask questions or find out what OS X version your G5 came out with.

Is it possible to download firefox onto a jumpdrive so i can install it on a computer with no internet connectivity?

Hi, after the auto update ruined my internet explorer in windows, I am unable to open any kind of browser window, I cannot get to the Internet Properties from my computer or the programs. I am unable to uninstall ie8 because of missing files that came from microsoft update. I still have a connection to the internet, however, with no way of getting to it...So I am wondering if it is possible to download firefox onto a jump drive and install it on my otherwise, useless, computer.

You can download Firefox 4.0.1 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/ directly to a USB drive provided there's enough space and then move it to your PC. The installation file is only 12MB

How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

Hello!,
I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
Thanks,
Marcus Bale

Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than I thought!
Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
Thank you!

I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
How can I post here the install.log file?
Thank you so much!
PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

Trying to install acrobat x on 2nd computer at home

How do i install acrobat x on 2nd computer at home. i find it on my adobe but there is no download.

Do you still have the downloaded installer on your original computer? If so, transfer it from there.
If not, try downloading the installer from http://technolux.blogspot.jp/2011/02/adobe-direct-download-links-less-akamai.html
You must follow the download instructions some two pages down from the top; otherwise you won't be able to get your download. The download links start some further two pages down.
