Resolved Question

Adobe Reader (free) upgrade

Aug 12, 2011 6:10PM PDT

I want to upgrade Adober Reader free ver 9.4.2 to ver 9.4.5 without Adobe Air.
In the past, I used ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/ "en US" Directory for my downloads. Now there does not appear to be an option for US English.
If someone could take a look at that site's Directory list for ver 9.4.5 and tell me which one to use, I sure would appreciate. Adobe can be such a pain!!!!!

It is possible I am confused LOL

Thank you so much for your reply. At first glance on Adobe website, I saw the 10.1 was an "X" version, and for some reason I have been avoiding the "X". Is the 10.1 version on the ftp site an "X", too. If so and because you suggest, I am ready to install an "X"; if it is not an "X" that's O.K., too.
Is it necessary to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.2 before going to the 10. version?

I Usually Uninstall Previously Numbered Versions First, But

....Adobe usually does a good job of uninstalling any previous versions before installing the new, so it's probably not required.. It's up to you.

Hope this helps.
