Ok, sad to read only 5 languages are supported. Also a littlebit dissapointing even the US version is not updated to the latest version but only to the latest full version.

But thanks for the reply anyway.

I did some investigation and found out PatchMyPc is using this file for the downloads:

http://patchmypc.net/freeupdater/definitions/definitions.xml

In this file there is a section for Adobe Reader:

<AcrobatReaderDCName>Adobe Acrobat Reader DC</AcrobatReaderDCName>
<AcrobatReaderDCVer>18.009</AcrobatReaderDCVer>
<AcrobatReaderDCDownload>
https://patchmypc.net/freeupdater/applications/AcroRdrDC1800920044_en_US.exe
</AcrobatReaderDCDownload>
<AcrobatReaderDCDownload_DE>
https://patchmypc.net/freeupdater/applications/AcroRdrDC1800920044_de_DE.exe
</AcrobatReaderDCDownload_DE>
<AcrobatReaderDCDownload_ES>
https://patchmypc.net/freeupdater/applications/AcroRdrDC1800920044_es_ES.exe
</AcrobatReaderDCDownload_ES>
<AcrobatReaderDCDownload_FR>
https://patchmypc.net/freeupdater/applications/AcroRdrDC1800920044_fr_FR.exe
</AcrobatReaderDCDownload_FR>
<AcrobatReaderDCDownload_JP>

</AcrobatReaderDCDownload_JP>

I suspect PatchMyPC downloads this file to update. But there are two problems updating this way:

1. This is not te latest version. For example for the latest US version after installing AcroRdrDC1800920044_en_US.exe you need to run the patch AcroRdrDCUpd1800920050.msp to get the most recent version.

2. The 1800920044 update (AcroRdrDC1800920044_en_US.exe) is not available in dutch (AcroRdrDC1800920044_nl_NL.exe). To get the latest version in dutch you need
    AcroRdrDC1500720033_nl_NL.msi (or exe) and patch it with AcroRdrDCUpd1800920050.msp. To do this i use the fowowing lines:

START /WAIT MSIEXEC /I AcroRdrDC1500720033_nl_NL.msi ALLUSERS=TRUE REBOOT=ReallySuppress EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES /QB-
START /WAIT msiexec.exe /update AcroRdrDCUpd1800920050.msp /qn

I download all the updates from: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/

A better way of updating is to download the right language version from:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/1500720033/

This version contains all language versions. Aftherwards patch this version with the latest version available. Now (17 december 2017) the latest version is:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/1800920050/AcroRdrDCUpd1800920050.msp

Maybe this indormation can help to improve PatchMyPc !
