Yes, you read that correctly. Instead of Adobe Reader XII they named it 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC', where DC stands for 'Document Cloud'. 

 

More information here. 

 

Download: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC v. 2015.007.2033

Wait edit PDF with the reader?

Several sorts of PDFs are actually fill-in forms (such as certain government forms) - this was supported in Adobe Reader starting with X. It is, in fact, the last advantage Adobe Reader has over Microsoft Reader when it comes to PDFs in Windows 8 or later.

After many years of being an Adobe Reader supporter/user, I finally just gave up on it late last year and switched to using SumatraPDF for my PDF reading duties. I know some browsers can do PDFs natively but I prefer to have local copies of such files in all situations (so I download them whenever I encounter them). It loads in the blink of an eye (far cry from Adobe Reader's bloated infrastructure even with tweaks), is deadly efficient and small and just gets it done well enough for my needs now.

 

Just 'cause storage space is cheap and computers are fast(er) nowadays doesn't mean code needs to be so incredibly bloated and wasteful which is exactly what happened with Reader over the years. This new "document cloud" crap, I'll pass, thanks. :(

Did they ever fix it where you have to reboot your whole computer just to update the stupid thing? I haven't used Adobe Reader in forever because of that..That, and how slow it was..

 

I just updated via Creative Cloud and it did not reboot. I was previously on Acrobat XI Pro.

I'm sure he has a lot of other reasons why he doesn't use Adobe Reader. But lets keep talking about the ridiculousness of the frequency of updates and the requested reboots that should be unnecessary in 2015, because it really is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as someone defending it.

Updates every few months and no reboots. I even went from XII to DC without a problem. Adobe certainly deserves its share of critiscm but people should stop complaining about stuff from years ago. Also the new version seems to be faster and slimmer (not that I ever had any issues with the last few versions).

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
