Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer.  That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed.  What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible.  I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version.  However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking.  Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download?  If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question.  Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player?  If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,

Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
  -- Windows XP 64 Bit
  -- Windows Vista 64 Bit
  -- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
  -- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file.  Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009?  IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

  • Silent install for adobe reader version 110003

    silent install for adobe reader version 110003

    Hi,
    I don't know your more details about how you pretend to deploy your Adobe Reader but I did this to my current deployment and many people on the company are happy with this:
    1- I extracted the contents from the Adobe Reader installer.
    2- I modified the MSI using Customization Wizard to hide some menus (Maybe you can skip this step if you don't need to customize it)
    3- On SCCM 2012 I created a Script deployment with a CMD file which contains the following command for silent install. (You don't need to have an SCCM infrastructure to deploy it but it will help)
    start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
    or
    msiexec /i "%~dp0AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="%~dp0AcroRead.mst" PATCH="%~dp0AdbeRdrUpd11001_MUI.msp;%~dp0AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp"
    - On my case I used %~dp0 because I'm installing from a server caching files on client machines but if you pretend to test and install it locally avoid using: %~dp0 and put your absolut path. Like C:\Temp or your MSI and source files location.
    - Start /wait - Will execute your MSI installer file and then once is finished will proceed with the next command if any.
    - Transforms- will force the MSI to apply the custom settings I did on Customization Wizard)
    - PATCH- command will proceed to install the patches you may have at the moment 11.0.1, 11.0.2, etc...
    Hope this will help you !

  • Is there a difference in scripting for Adobe Reader 8.0

    Hi,
    I started to create Interactive forms with Adobe Reader 7.0 installed on my machine. I had problems with dynamically growing text field so when I searched the forum, it was suggested that it is a problem for the Adobe versions 7 and lesser so I installed Adobe Reader 8.0 on my system but after installing that lots of scripts stopped working.
    An example is that the following print comman is not working now.
    xfa.host.print(1, "2", "2", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0); - I am trying to print the 3rd page.
    Can anyone tell me if the scripting has changed because it was working fine till I installed the newer version of Adobe.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan

    Hi Kalyan,
    No idea about Abode reader 8.0 but i suugest try to use Adobe reader 7.1.
    your scripts should work on 7.1. You can test the client side scripts using adobe life cycle designer standalone.

  • Will there be  iOS 8 Extension for Adobe Reader application in the upcoming version

    Will Adobe reader iOS app  provide extension which would allow to edit the pdf.So that we do not need to copy the file into the reader, instead we would use extension to edit the file.

    Thank you for your feedback. I cannot speculate on future releases, but we will take your feedback into consideration.

  • Is there a network management solution for adobe reader updates.

    Hi
    I'm looking for a program we can install on our update server to push adobe updates to +\- 300 users that don't have admin rights.  Anyone know of any software that would do this?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Doug:
    Since your options don't seem to be limited by pay vs. open source, you have a multitude of possible solutions. You could purchase the now outdated SMS 2003 product from Microsoft, or elect to go with their "latest and greatest" distribution management product SCCM. We have dabbled with another similar product here that shows promise: Altiris. An open source option that I ran across in my research is WPKG. I can not vouch for WPKG but it seems a viable solution. Keep in mind, with a paid product, you are paying for support as well as the software. If you elect to go with an open source option, support can be somewhat limited in scope.
    I hope this helps?

    To remove a password, you would have Acrobat (not Reader). Go to File > Properties, set No Security. Enter the password when prompted.

  • Per-user location for adobe reader plugins

    I am working on an installer which for a per-machine installation, copies a plugin to Adobe Reader's plugins directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins). But for a per-user installation, it won't have access to this directory. So, is there a per-user location for Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugins where this plugin can be installed?
    OS: Microsoft Windows 7

    There is no per-user location.

  • Cannot instal any adobe reader

    Hi there.
    To the point.
    I was trying to do my tax form when whole problem has started. First program asked to update adobe air to ver13 from 4. And it failed with a short message about error 0 and asking to try again with administrator rights.
    I ve tried about 3-4 times with the same sign at the end. and due to that i wasnt able to update polish goverment tax plugin for adobe air, as it has ask for newer version of adobe air all the time.
    But on their /ministry of finance/ website there is also a plugin for adobe reader allowing you to fill form in  reader and send it as ur tax return immeadetly. so i was trying to open various forms but adobe plugin for firefox wasnt able to open it. i ended up with document downloaded/opened in aprox. 5%-90% everytime.
    there is a note about changing ur settings in firefox /from use adobe in firefox to use adobe reader/ but both of those never worked.
    i was still able to open any other pdf on my pc /at least several those i ve tried to open were working/.
    but i have decided to reinstall reader...
    and after few tries i had to use adobe remover- finaly it was gone
    in the meantime i have removed adobe air using microsoftfixit - normal ways were unable to remove it.
    and now i m stuck with a note saying "Błąd 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\1a82882.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035." while i m trying to bring it back. Błąd = error.
    no matter if outpost pro 9.0 is turned on or off, if i m using older or newest amd drivers, or trying to use full download version or the one from adobe website - it ends around 70% of the process with a note from above.
    i ve tried both reader x/xi
    its win7 with all updates on fujitsu ah lifebook ...
    whats going on???

    Hi again.
    Yes i m aware that those 2 are totally different things made for different purposes, so  code used in both programs must be totally different. But for me, more important thing is that i cant use/install both of them when i need them (tax return in poland have to be send to proper tax office before 1st of may); they are both made by the same company so probably installer used in both works in similar fashion /air wasn't kind enough to show error code/ and it seems that i have some problems with that.
    So maybe someone much wiser then me will be able to figured out whats going on or had a chance to see/know some sort of similar situation previously.
    I'm not saying that all adobe products are broken /flash update went without problems/ but it might be something in my registry that is not able to receive some directions from that specific kind of installer /thats why i ve placed whole error message with error code/.
    Other programs are fine - uninstalling firefox and installing 29 from mozilla installer went smooth...
    Pat, i appreciate your effort to help, but  different version of basically the same installer doesn't change anything.
    Program is already running, all files are unpacked and installing proces is already in motion. At aproximately 70% so nearly at the end that message appears and it ends telling me it wasnt done properly so i have to try again...
    As i said before i have tried various sources to download it /6 so far to be exact/ and it always ends in the same manner.
    Besides - just to let You know - Adobe still didn't make any official language pack /i m talking about polish one of course/ for version later then 11.0.1 so patching polish version to 11.0.6 will make it whole english .
    edit: in an act of desperation i ve tried to install reader 9.5 but with the same ending....
    during the weekend i ll try to dig depper in the registry - i think i wont screw it much more then it is right now... in the end i can always reinstall windows as TestScreen sugested

  • How do I create a silent install for Adobe Robohelp 11.0? AAMEE fails

    I have tried to create a silent install for Adobe Roboehelp 11 using AAMEE v. 3.1 but after inserting "product installation folder", "package name" and "save to" and choosing "next" the picture just greys out.
    If if choose "next" again I get to the options page but it is empty.
    I tried using an older version of AAMEE and here I can create an unserialized build but it wont accept the my license code (which works fine if I install manually)
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
    Best Regards,
    Christian Roejbaek

    Hi Christian,
    You have to use Creative cloud packager (CCP) to create the package for RoboHelp 11, AAMEE will not work for the latest version. CCP will be available in your LWS website(www.licensing.adobe.com) . Download CCP from LWS website and create a package for RH 11.
    Please refer to the below link for more information of CCP:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html
    Once you will reach "The Application and Updates screen " on CCP window then you have to click on "Add Offline Media" and select the "product installer folder" as RH 11 might not show in the list of products on that screen.
    After creating the package:
    Steps to follow to deploy silently on single machine:
    1. Open CMD in Administrator mode.
    2. Give the path till inside the build folder of the package. For Example if the build is saved on your Desktop the path in CMD should be as below:
    C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\Packagefolder\packagename\Build>
    3. Now type the following installation command: msiexec.exe /i packagename.msi /quiet
    4. Launch Task Manager.
    5.There will be three process of “msiexec.exe”
    a)   6.One will be under System
    b)   7.Other Two will be under [username].
    8.Installation will be completed once both the process of msiexec.exe under the [username] are finished.
    9.The installation process with take 5 to 10 minutes

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

  • Is there a download for Adobe Reader 11?

    Is there a download for Adobe Reader 11?

    Reader 11 isn't supported for Vista (although it has been succesfully installed).
    To get it, you need to choose the option for a different language or OS and select an OS that is supported. Then it wil give you the option to download 11.
    But again, not supported.

  • [SOLVED]Gnome 3 | There is no application installed for _any file type

    I just installed arch and gnome 3. I'm trying to open files via nautilus, but get "There is no application installed for ..." for any type of file I try, including plain text files, binaries, etc. Do I have to configure gnome manually for it to open these files? I've read the arch beginner wiki and the gnome wiki, but this problem is not mentioned there. Any help would be appreciated.
    EDIT: Solved
    There were three things I needed to do to get this working correctly:
    1. $ pacman -S gnome-mime-data
    2. For text files, pacman -S gvim #This conflicts with vim, but the package gvim now contains vim (and vice versa, but nautilus won't open files unless gvim is installed instead of vim)
    3. Binary files: I tried running some binaries I programmed on Ubuntu, but they wouldn't run until I recompiled them. Duh.
    Note: I still have a small issue when opening a file that has no mime data associated with it. I can click "select application," but I am forced to choose from a very limited list, and there is no option to enter a command or browse for other programs.

    Cheers.
    Regarding your music player, I recently had a struggle deciding which way to go.
    Banshee, no, pulls in gnome and mono stuff (running as pure a Xfce desktop as I possibly can here). Exaile, have tried and really don't like it. Rhythmbox, again, too ingrained with gnome libraries for my liking. Amarok, unfortunately the love affair ended with 2.0. Clementine (read Amarok pre 2.0), yes please, but a gtk port would be nice, I have no other use for Qt. Songbird, yes please again, but no longer linux supported. Nightingale (read Songbird fork), seems to have lost momentum.
    Of course, this is all just my personal opinion, but you can see the problem I had. There does not seem to be a 'large project' desktop agnostic music player/organiser for linux. They all seem to be deeply tied into Gnome or Kde.
    My solution, if you want something lightweight, is MPD and Ario. MPD is just your background daemon that looks after managing your library/database, and Ario is a gtk 'frontend' that will let you search and sort your MPD database, and create the playlists to be played with MPD. The beauty of this system is that you do not need a music app to be running to play your music. Just the lightweight MPD daemon. Once a playlist has been loaded, you can close Ario and just let MPD do it's stuff.
    I know Xfce has a panel app that lets you control MPD and even launch Ario to change playlists. I'm sure the other desktops will most likely have some sort of panel app too (I have even written a simple little python script that monitors MPD track changes and diplays a notification).
    Anyway, just my thoughts on the issue. For more MPD info, see the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpd
    Cheers.
