Or before you do that, you may want to clarify and question Mike's opinion on version compatibility, which I think is different than Adobe's.
Mike's take is that Acrobat and Reader interact in some way that can cause problems. And I disagree. As far as I know, Adobe has always recommended that only one version of Acrobat be installed on a system. This is the key point. Acrobat requirements do not equate to Reader requirements. Reader is a separate product that doesn't conflict or inter-operate with Acrobat binaries. It's common practice to have a couple versions of Reader installed on a box so that you can test your PDFs with multiple versions. I've run multiple copies of Reader on a number of systems and it hasn't produced any errors or crashes that I'm aware of. As far as I know, Reader installations don't remove previous versions of Reader unless a known conflict exists, and don't touch Acrobat installations at all.
