Where Adobe Acrobat Reader keeps its logs

Adobe Acrobat Reader logs to %TEMP%\Acrobat_Diagnostics\Output\ on Windows. 2 other Windows log locations are recorded below.

Adobe Acrobat Reader logs to ~/Library/AcrobatDiagnostics/Output/ on macOS. 3 other macOS log locations are recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Adobe Acrobat Reader writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
