Windows would never do that, but if Adobe is compiling Adobe Reader and Acrobat for 64-bit and ARM64 on macOS, they should do the same on Windows. Microsoft deprecated the 32-bit version of Windows 10, following literally everyone else and they finally started virtualising x64 on Windows on Arm, likely inspired by Apple lol.
The Database uses Reader DC because almost no one on the network has Acrobat Pro. Yesterday Adobe updated my 32-bit Reader to 64-bit without notifying me. It broke the Database because the necessary library was removed. I found the new 64-bit library and updated the Database. But now EVERY computer on the network must use the 64-bit Reader DC.
For instance, if I wanted to install Acrobat Reader, I would enter the following code (where Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit is the name of the 64-bit version of Acrobat Reader in Windows Package Manager): winget install Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit. The latest version of the application will be downloaded from the vendor’s servers and then installed. Michael, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that would not be the answer. Do you happen to know why there is no 64 bit version of Adobe Reader? Also, do you know if there are any plans in the works for Adobe to come out with one? Thanks, --Brian

For example, there are currently issues with regards to various PDF file manipulation operations in Acrobat involving very large and complex PDF files in which Acrobat runs out of memory space in the
