Acrobat Reader 7 certainly did a nice job on me ...
I have Acrobat 5.05 (Reader, Distiller & Writer) on my PC. Sometime ago I installed Acrobat Reader 6.0 in a separate diectory and all lived happily. I could do all my PDF creation work and view in 6.0 those PDF files containing elements version 5 could not read.
I heard of 7.0 earlier today and installed the reader in yet another folder. It's been a fun day! When I try to run 7.0, 5.0 starts up and 6.0 has vanished. Yes, 6 has vanished.
I ended up going through a number of 7.0 downloads/intalls (I can't see how to get 6 anymore) and uninstalls/installs of 5 (CD) and the 5.05 upgrade (CD).
After a few frustrating hours of uninstalling/downloading/installing/rebooting (and round and round), I do believe I am back in working order with 5.0 to create and read PDF's and 7.0 available for those who create non-backward-compatible PDF's. I think ...
I used to downloade Acrobat software with my eyes closed knowing them as responsible installers. Adobe is now on my beware list ...

No need to uninstall previous versions - the bloody V7 install does it without asking, if you use their install program. Talk about your ill-behaved installations.

Sherry, When I first downloaded Adobe Reader v6, it would not work...period. I had not, at that point, uninstalled the earlier versions. It was then that I found in Adobe's FAQs the "recommendation" to uninstall all earlier versions of Reader before installing v6. Once I did that, I have never had a problem. (If memory serves me correctly...grin...you'll find similar comments from me on this subject in the archives.) It was because of that experience that I suggested uninstalling all earlier versions before installing v7. On the other hand, is there a compatibility issue between Adobe Reader v7 and earlier versions?
