These utilities will let you manage your downloads, including
resuming broken downloads and speeding up download time.
OTHER DOWNLOAD OPTIONS
Planet PDF -- via our ePublish Store -- is an official Adobe mirror site for downloading copies of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader -- for Windows and Macintosh -- in several languages.
If you continue to have downloading problems from the Adobe.com and/or Planet PDF Web sites, we suggest you try the appropriate FTP link(s) from Adobe:
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 for Windows
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 for Macintosh
OTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
If you are still unable to download the free Reader using the
information above, there are a couple non-downloading options:
- Check any software CDs you may have purchased recently, as many
companies now distribute product documentation in PDF and provide a
copy of the free Reader on their CDs. Note that you may not be
getting the most up-to-date version of the free Reader via this
method.
- A number of computer-oriented magazines now include CDs with
freeware and shareware products, and often include the free Adobe
Acrobat Reader. If you're able to obtain or purchase a current
magazine with a CD that does include the Reader, the chances are
better that you'll be getting a current version of Reader.
