Hi Fred and Alison,
Thanks for the info. Ouch, Fred. That doesn't sound like fun. OK, I will rethink my options. Thanks, TVB From: Fred Ridder [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 11:56 AM To: Tammy Van Boening; [email protected] Subject: RE: OT: Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader on same client There's no other machine anywhere in your company where you can test the file? One of the issues that can arise if you do what you propose is that when you uninstall Reader it might remove a DLL or other resource that is also used by Acrobat Pro. If Reader's install and uninstall scripts are really foolproof, they will keep track of any components that pre-existed when they were installed so that they know not to delete those on uninstall. Where things get really iffy is when there is a pre-existing Reader installation when Acrobat Pro is installed. Our company's standard desktop configuration includes Reader, and the last time my hard disk was replaced I forgot to have the IT tech remove Reader before installing Acrobat Pro. When I later removed Reader, it hosed the Acrobat installation and I had to do an uninstall/reinstall. -Fred Ridder _____ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: OT: Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader on same client Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:39:00 -0700 All, I have heard on many occasions that you should not have Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader installed on the same client, but I need to test something in Reader before I pass a PDF off and all three of my available systems already have Adobe Acrobat Pro loaded. Is it possible to load Reader at all just for some brief testing and then uninstall it after the testing is complete, or will I encounter any issues by doing this? Thank you, TVB
