PDF is a format intended for reading, not editing. What are you trying to do? The reader I mentioned will read them the same as Adobe Reader.

I picked the .exe file, works fine, but you should pick the one you understand how to install it.

If the previous PDF reader doesn't work, no reason to believe this one will. It sounds like you're running on a machine without admin rights, so you can't install anything.

Here's a portable one that has a version that doesn't require installation. http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_...ls/pdfx_viewer
