How to Downgrade Adobe Reader
You can downgrade Adobe Reader by uninstalling the present version and reinstalling an older version. Often an older version of a program proves to no longer be sufficient. Or a newer upgrade may not work as advertised. When either scenario occurs, it is often necessary to undo the upgrade. Fortunately, many older versions of a program like Adobe Reader are available on the Web.
