Carla,
I was able to download and install the trial of FM9, but haven't played with
it yet. The download should give you two files: a 1.17 MB .exe file, and a

My understanding of the review feature was that the reviewers only need
the free Acrobat 9 reader. But maybe we would need the pro extended
version of Acrobat along with FM 9 to get the full functionality? That
