Adobe has released a new version of Adobe Reader, a popular software to read PDF documents on your computer. The new version of Adobe Reader XI is available for download from Adobe servers. If you have already installed Adobe Reader, you will be able to update it through Help –> Check for updates menu.
Adobe Reader XI comes with some improved features. Some of the features include the following:
- Improved Sign files with e-signatures
- Improved Comment using the PDF annotator
- Improved Fill out forms
- Ease deployment
- Manage security compliance
- Protect your system
Adobe Reader XI comes with complete support for Windows 8 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion. This means that the users will be able to use the PDF reader on touch enabled devices.
Now you can convert your PDF documents into Word or Excel online for free. This feature is free for one year. The PDF annotator is also an amazing introduction as this will enable teams to collaborate on the same PDF file and the collaboration remains within the file itself.
The performance of Adobe Reader has always been questionable because it took large amounts of memory to open a single PDF file. This alone has forced the users to switch to other PDF readers like Foxit Reader and Nitro PDF Reader.
I tested the memory usage of three PDF Readers, Adobe Reader XI, Foxit Reader and Nitro PDF Reader. The results were quite satisfactory for Adobe Reader. I opened the release notes PDF file in the three readers and here are the results:
- Adobe Reader XI memory usage = 40.5 MB
- Nitro PDF Reader = 55 MB
- Foxit Reader = 11.5 MB
This is quite an achievement for Adobe as the same PDF file was taking 80+ MB with Adobe Reader X. Please note that I had downloaded the file before opening it in these readers.

adobe xi crashes in my IE 9. What could be the reason?
You may try re-installing Adobe Reader XI. Otherwise you can use any other browser other than IE9 to avoid crashes
chido banda !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Thanks man!
An easier solution to downloading the correct version of Adobe reader for yourself is to go to this page:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Enter your Operating System, language and version of Adobe reader which you want to download and click on the Download now button. This will download the offline installer for Adobe Reader.
Another easier solution would be to go to this FTP address:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x
Open the appropriate folders and download the offline installer files for Adobe Reader 11 latest version.
By the way, I hate Adobe online web installer. It takes to much of memory which can be useful for other purposes.
The sole purpose of web installers is to get the latest version of the product installed and update the product automatically when an update is available.
What is the difference between Adobe reader XI and Adobe reader 11?
Both are the same XI is a Roman letter which translates to 11 in decimal
Thank You. Really, is a sh.it go to other pages to download ADOBE SOFTWARE, why you help me, and adobe NOT. Fuc.k ADOBE. Thanks a lot http://www.technize.net
I read your every post, I use foxit reader free for two years, last version of Adob that I use is 8. It slow dowan my PC. So I go to foxite, now after reading your Post I want to Adob Reader IX. Hope it impress me.
Thanks a lot for being a loyal and regular reader. We would like more interaction and more comments from your side

I have tested the latest Adobe Reader XI. It is definitely faster than the previous build but if you have less memory in your computer then Foxit Reader is the star. This is because Foxit Reader takes very less memory to operate but Adobe Reader 11 has more features than ever.
Thanks a lot for the offline installer

Thank you!
One note … “Adobe Reader XI (11) offline installer Russian (ro-RO)” is Romanian, not Russian
I had downloaded Adobe Reader XI Pro with kegen + crack from another site but the crack is not working. Is there any working activator available for Adobe Reader 11 Pro?
We don't recommend cracked apps. You can read my article about keygens being the most dangerous tool for hackers in hacking modern systems.
