Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is commonly known as Adobe Reader, is a software application developed by Adobe Systems and introduced back in early 1990. Despite its longevity, the app is still being updated today.
Update 23.5.0.27719 beta for Adobe Reader is available now, and you are free to grab it in the form of either a simple APK file or an APK bundle. The new update grants better performance and improves the stability of the renowned app, which means that grabbing it if you’re a user of the program is a ‘must.’
Minimum demand: Android 7
Unless your smartphone runs on Android 7 or any other version of Google’s mobile operating system released after, you can’t install the new update for Adobe Acrobat Reader. However, that’s more like a formal demand, as pretty much anyone nowadays should have a newer version of Android installed and running on their smartphone.
An interesting fact about Adobe Reader is that it was one of the first apps capable of supporting the PDF/A format, which is a specialized version of the PDF format designed for long-term document preservation. PDF/A can ensure that documents will remain visually and textually consistent over time, even as technology and software evolve.
Adobe Reader remains the most widely used program that people prefer when it comes to viewing, printing, and commenting on PDF (Portable Document Format) files. The history of Adobe Acrobat Reader began when Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock envisioned a universal document format that could be shared and viewed across different computer systems and platforms.
In 1993, Adobe brought the first version of Acrobat, which allowed users to create, view, and print PDF files. The app gained popularity quickly, as it provided a reliable and consistent way to share documents, preserving their formatting and appearance regardless of the software or hardware that was being used.
