    My dad has Windows 98 on his work computer and often needs to open PDF files. Recent versions of the Acrobat Reader no longer support Windows 98, so he has been having trouble opening newer PDF files. Is there an alternative program that would work with Windows 98 to open the newer PDF files?

    I use Acrobat Reader version 5.0.5 on my Windows 98 machine, which is the highest version that you can download that is compatible with Windows 98.

    I think Corn Dog's problem is if a .PDF file is created with a later version of the Acrobat software it is not possible to use version 5.0.5 to read it. His question is, if you cannot use 5.0.5, what can you do?

    V6.0 is the latest version that works on win98. 5.05 was the latest version to work on Win95. Trust me, I just installed v6 on a win98 machine not 5 minutes ago.

    Yeah, the file I'm trying to open was made with Acrobat 7 (I think...). Are there any other alternate programs to read Acrobat files?

    That would be Windows 98 Second Edition. I have attempted to install 6.0.1 on Windows 98 original edition and failed and the latest for this operating system is 5.0.5 as I have stated. Corn Dog needs to state which variant of Windows 98 he has.
