I'd echo Syed's point here - We Tech Pubs folk have a habit of repeating something Dov Isaac's said over a decade ago like it's some kind of holy writ, but 10 computer years is about a century in real years ;) Things may well (and certainly ought to) have changed since then.
I'd like to see a list of the actual DLLs and registry entries and blah blah that are involved before accepting that Adobe still haven't fixed this. (lol but then again, there are so many corners of FrameMaker that Adobe haven't fixed since they ported it off the NeXT, so who am I trying to kid... ;) ) The standard solution for this kind of issue is to have a virtual machine on which to test your customer experience. If you have Windows 8, it comes with "Microsoft HyperV" built in, you can create a virtual machine with a few clicks, install Reader in it, and play away to your hearts content. (Shock news: Windows 8 actually does have some useful new features in it, see? :) ) Another handy free virtual machine is Oracle's www.virtualbox.org Give one of these a try and never mess up your precious working environment ever again!

Or maybe it is my approach of always installing Acrobat after Reader ... <shrug> Works for me (and I ain't boasting ... merely reporting. :) :)) *** Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including any associated or attached files, is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
