I'm trying to figure out how to open PDF files offline without getting hit with a subscription offer from Adobe Acrobat. Every time I try, I get this annoying pop-up asking me to subscribe or start a free trial, and I'm pretty sure I should be able to view my downloaded PDFs without any charges. Am I missing something?

Remember, Adobe Acrobat Reader is free - you only need to pay for premium features. But if you just want to view files, almost any modern browser can handle that! No Adobe products necessary.
You can totally view PDFs without Adobe! Just right-click the PDF file, choose 'Open with,' and select your web browser. It's super straightforward!
If you have Adobe Acrobat installed, try uninstalling it. Most major web browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox come with built-in PDF viewers, so you shouldn't need any extra software just to view them. Editing is a different story, though!
Exactly! That's how I always do it. Plus, browsers load PDFs way faster than some standalone software.
