Apparently the last Adobe Reader compatible Win98 version is/was 5.1. The last Win98SE version was 6.04. I get this info from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_R...roduct_history

Note: You can't download either of these versions direct from Adobe anymore. I even called up Adobe direct and Adobe themselves couldn't find copies of the file. When you try to download these older versions it tells you are going to download what you want, but instead it gives you the Adobe Download Manager, which doesn't work properly and can totally screw everything up. http://www.computergripes.com/AdobeAcrobatReader.html

I came to oldversion.com looking for both 5.1 & 6.04... too bad they don't have them so I would like to request them. I have 4.05 (oldversion doesn't) and I can contribute it.

Program Name: Adobe Reader (Adobe Acrobat)
Website: adobe.com
Current version: 7.05
Desired versions: 5.1 & 6.04
Description: http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=acrobat

BTW: oldversion.com has v5.05. HOWEVER there appears to be multiple versions of that file. oldversion gives acrobat505.exe (8770 kb) but the official download (http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adob...x/rp505enu.exe) gives a file that is 10188 kb.

I've decided I hate Adobe.
