How can I determine the version of Adobe Reader?

Question

How can I determine the version of Adobe Reader?

Answer

Through online script

See the System Information tool for a quick and easy way to determine your version of Adobe Reader and if your browser supports reading PDF files.

Note: This script only supports determining the version of Adobe Reader if you have 7.7 or higher installed. If you're using an alternative PDF reader, it will detect PDF support but will not show the name or version of the PDF reader you're using.
