how to update to the latest version of adobe reader

I want to find an older version of Adobe Acrobat without discovering that the offer of an older version is really the DC version. It is connected to the CLOUD, it is as simple as that. Thanks, Adobe, for forcing non profits and fixed funding agencies (grant programs) to waste time and money to get back up and running. Get us hooked on your products and then pull them out from under us so we 'can't live without them' and are forced to buy in. This impedes work flow and efficiency, and creates a financial burden to my organization (grant funded-not commercial) and therefore will have to spend extraordinary amounts of time reworking the budget to accommodate this unexpected change, which will cost money to spend the time to do this, which will slow work flow processes, and impede flexibility.

What good is adobe acrobat if you have to suddenly pay for all the features that were previously included in adobe acrobat? I don't have the budget to pay for these additions, but the tools that are integral to my work processes are now out of reach, not available. I can answer that.all the previous capabilities are now an 'add on' or 'open' by purchase.
