Dave, we also depend on PDFs for many custom workflows, and need can't use Reader software like FoxIt. (Personally I stay far away from that product).
We also need to move to Acrobat X. However, I've had some big issues with deploying X to my small test group. I've had major issues with 9 AND X that I've shared here, and I'm at the end of my rope with them. Trying out NitroPDF Pro right now. Each seat will cost my about $70 instead of $200ish for Acrobat. The sales team at Nitro was kind enough to give me 3 free volume licenses to try it not (Not demo/trial licenses). So far, the users are loving it. As soon I can confirm it integrates well with our automatic workflow processes, I'm purchasing it in bulk. Food for thought.

If only one, then I'm not sure that you'll find a better option.

I can disable the PDF Add-in but what I really want is to change the association in IE to point to the newer reader instead. The only fix I found was uninstall/re-install Adobe Reader X, anyone have a better solution?
