I never thought I'd disagree with you about much of anything, but I have
to jump in on this one. I do so only because I've always really hated
Bookmanager. I have used it as Tom mentioned, for the search
capability. I agree that this is now no longer an issue with Adobe.
The enhanced search capability was available in version 6, but you
needed to download a special version that had the extended
functionality. It wasn't obvious on Adobe's site that there was such a
thing.
I also recommend you loose version 5. You must have been incredibly
lucky to not have run into 'some' PDF files that version 5 can't handle.
It 'may' open them, but some PDF files now take advantage of
capabilities that version 5 simply cannot handle. I don't know if I've
run into this reading IBM documentation, but I certainly have for other
things.
Oh, and Bruce... You can cut and paste information from Adobe PDFs just
as from a Bookmanager document.

Needs vs. wants. Adobe 5 works fine. I've never run across
a PDF I can't open with it (although some give you a warning
about not supporting newer features used). At any rate, in
many (most?) cases, it doesn't matter. When I was a full time
consultant, there was certainly no point in trying to fight the
red tape on these types of things. It just makes you look bad to
your client. I ran into road blocks all the time that affected
my productivity. That was when I started developing my own
tools or using freeware tools.
