FYI, Mac OS X might still default to Preview rather than Adobe Reader even if you install it. You might try:

Selecting a PDF file. Anything ending in .PDF
File-> Get Info
a little box will open with info about the file. Look for OPEN
if it says Preview, Click on it, it might or might not give you a list of other programs to open it with. Adobe might show up there. If not, select other than then look in Applications/Adobe Acrobat Reader and select the program there.

You can also tell OS X to open all files like that one with Adobe Acrobat Reader as well.

Will, if you are on Mac, there might be a "gotcha" here.

I tried to change the default program to open PDFs to be Preview (faster, smaller than Reader) and ended up defeating my abilities to read the manual from inside Finale. Finale NEEDS the manual files to be opened in Adobe Reader ONLY. Once I changed their defaults back to Reader, all was well, and I was able to access the manual from the Help menu of Finale, as I should be able to do.

What doesn't open -- Adobe Reader, or the Finale manual? Have you tried downloading and installing a new copy of Adobe Reader from <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html>?
