PDF Readers

[thoengthaied]

Hi everyone. I have a smartphone which frequently shows a message that my PDF Reader is out of date and prompts me to fix it by clicking on a button which generally sends me to Play Store and a page which asks me to install the PDF Reader. It's now got to the stage where I am wondering what to do. It seems that all these PDF Readers are similarly named and I now have several PDF Readers installed, and when I get a message that my PDF Reader is out of date or requires updating I don't know what to do. Should I try to uninstall all of them? I have Googled and Google says that Adobe Acrobat is good. I have Adobe Acrobat installed. Advice is now requested here on what steps I should take to rectify this annoying situation please. Thank you in advance, thoengthaied.

try and uninstall them all and install Adobe which is the main one. I also use Office suite Pro, but you don't need pro

Acrobat is good, yes, but about a year ago the app required some user permissions. I guess that's so you can edit files? I tend not to use apps, if it can be helped, that require those permissions. To just read and save pdf files, pdf viewer is a basic, no frills option. No permissions requested. Free version does the job.
