So I still don't have any way to account for the reported observation of a 6GB
folder. I don't doubt it, I just can't attribute it to the normal installation
footprint of Adobe Reader.
It would be interesting to know what folders within the 6GB Reader folder are
the largest and what they appear to contain.

It appears to be a bug in Windows 7, when you first take a properties
reading on a folder, it displays the disk space used by the higher level
folder that it is part of and not the size of the folder you are
clicking on. the Adobe folder was 6.2 gigs, the Adobe reader folder was
in fact 181 megabytes. apparently to get an accurate reading, you have
to click on a sub file and then go up to the folder you want.

Back to discussion, what's with all the PDF hate.
Actually I don't hate PDF, I use it frequently and as such I am glad
that OOo and LO have the capability of outputting in that format. My
only real complaint is that Adobe has let their reader application
become unnecessarily bloated, see below.

Where do you get the 6 GB?
I simply right clicked on the folder that contains adobe reader 9 and
nothing else, the rest of the Adobe products are in a folder one level up
that also contains the reader folder, in any case when I click properties,
that is the size it lists, in fact to be more exact 6.2 gigabytes. I did
the same with the folder containing LibreOffice, and it listed the size of
that as 475 megabytes. So I am pretty much forced to believe it. Perhaps
Adobe is going in the right direction again in the transition from reader 9
to reader 10, and dumping some unnecessary crap.
