Question

How do I know Adobe Reader is installed on my computer ?

Community Answer

If you've gone through the entire install process, it should be on your desktop. But if it's not there, check Explorer/Finder's "Downloads" folder. If it isn't there, the application hasn't been installed.

Question

I can't find the installation file in the desktop. Where can it be?

Community Answer

It is probably on the download files check This PC>Downloads. If it's not there, then you didn't download the program.

Tips

If you want the software for the sole purpose of reading PDF files, then Foxit Reader is preferred, as it is faster when loading, but has very few features.

Thanks
