For those of you who don't know how to obtain the full version of the adobe reader, or if you want it in a language other than english, check out this Link to Adobe's downloads.

WOW! All-In-One page.

[DisabledTrucker]

Yep, thought others who may have a hard time finding it, could use the link. That has all the 6.02 versions there, the full and the update for each language that's listed.

Tobe has already provided that link in this thread a few days ago.

They don't. Those are only downloads for their FREE reader.

It's a very uselful link, so I think posting it as a separate topic is a good idea.

[enuffsaid]

It's the best! Every topic with regard to Adobe Reader should have that link.

nice link thanks..

Why are only the Central European versions updated to 6.0.2?

[edbro]

What is the difference between Central European English and the "normal" english?
I assume they are different. If you go to the normal download page and tell it you want English then you only get 6.01 and they advise to patch it.

I was about to ask the same question.

[enuffsaid]

Central European English vs. American English

color vs. colour
lift vs. elevator

anyone got more?

[mazin]

If the difference is like enuffsaid said, then there's no problem. I think menus, messages, help file, and other stuff would be understandable. Unless, there's something else I don't know.

[DisabledTrucker]

NO there seems to be no difference in them, just that they are packaged for the europeans, but it seems to use U.S. english in them, as I have always used those links to download reader and never had any problems out of using it. There may be small discrepancies when looking through the software itself, but the files that your reading in them are going to be the language that it's written in anyways so it shouldn't matter. For me it really doesn't matter if they spell color, colour, or refer to the bathroom as a John for that matter, it has no bearing on the functionality of the program itself. Being that it's more or less a shell, it really doesn't matter if it's using the "formal" english or the U.S. derivative of it. It's more or less like the Explorer browser for .pdf files, so there really's not much to worry about, if you don't understand a specific wording in the program there is always www.dictionary.com. The .pdf files themselves, if written in American English will be able to be read in that language.

It looks like they just posted the regular English installation package for 6.0.2. Here is the direct link:

Adobe Reader 6.0.2 for Windows

[RyanVM]

Sweet, thanks for posting the link.

[Lolly]

I got a good link:

Clicky clicky

... I am using the 6.0.2—English (Central European) for Windows, 11.8MB

[Professor Frink]

Well, some people might not want those little "CE" markings on their Reader.


But I have to say I'm having a hell of a time installing AdbeRdr602_distrib_enu.exe silently. I've tried extracting and not, I've tried different switches, nothing works right. I'm sure there is a way, I just can't find it. Any thoughts?

[Lolly]

Whats the CE for?
I hope it stands for Big ePeen? Foot long...



Well, this is the first time im trying that CE version, unattended silently and all that.

I did install it as a test on VM, had to get that .msi file etc. but I doubt my first attemp will
work.
