Is Acrobat Reader 32 or 64

We have a problem with our customers with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

The point is that many programs instaled on customers PC use Acrobat Reader ActiveX object to display PDF documents, and as they are 32-bit so they must have installed AcrobatReader 32-bit version as well.

It has been happening for some time that Acrobat Reader is updating to the 64-bit version and we have to connect to the client and reinstall Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Is there any way around this problem? How to prevent Acrobat Reader 32-bit from updating to 64-bit?

Set in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown, the value of the item DWORD-32 bUpdateToSingleApp to 0.

This should disable the upgrade to 64 bit.

PDF Reader and Editor on the same computer is a must. I use 5-6 computers every day, and open several PDFs every day too. At the same time I also edit, convert or export a PDF a few times a week. In periods I use PS, PR, LR and ID on either my home computer, laptop, workshop computer or one of the office computers. It's really a hassle having to log in and out only to open a random PDF, and even more so if you have to annotate or sign one. It doesn't make any sense for Adobe not to promote using both plain reader and pro versions on the same box. Appears very backwards. There might be a technical hitch in the way, but it must be possible for Adobe developers to get around it. Please Adobe Santa, can I have it for xmas?

Is there any advantage or disadvantage in installing the 32-bit version on 64-bit machines?

I noticed that when you select the English option on https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ you only have a 32-bit installer. In order to get a 64-bit installer, you need to select MUI?

There is no disadvantage to using a 64-bit application on a 64-bit machine.

Yes, using the MUI installer would work fine.

Is Adobe Reader only 32

NetDocuments works with the 32 bit version of Adobe, not the 64 bit. Adobe recently changed its web page so by default it downloads the 64 bit version. There is still a way of downloading the 64bit version.

What is the difference between Acrobat 32

The real difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these products is the ability to use much larger address spaces with the 64-bit version.

Is Acrobat DC available in 64

Yes, it's fully available now. If you get the current installer it should be the 64-bit version. The Creative Cloud and (I believe) Technical Communication Suite install the 32-bit version by default. You can uninstall it and install the 64-bit version.

What is the size of Adobe Reader?

Adobe Acrobat.
