Dov, Although this takes the thread off-topic a bit, is there any way to configure Reader to be a "portable" ap that runs from a thumb drive?
I certainly don't disagree with your advice about not having Reader on an Acrobat system, but for many of us that isn't possible -- for example, if you work in a typical office, you probably use Acrobat as your default PDF product, but you still have to have the capability to test those PDFs in Reader. But if you only have one system..... Cheers, Art Art Campbell ? ? ? ? ? ? ? art.campbell at gmail.com ? "...
