Oh! I had forgotten all about this. The answer is that, if you
have both Adobe Reader and Acrobat (the writer) installed, a PDF link
in a Web page opens in whichever of these two was the last to be
installed.
Not quite so simple, but close.
After installing both programs, the user can go into the Windows file
type options and set either one as the default for handling PDFs, and
that setting will overrule the order of installation.
But in the most common scenario, where the user doesn't take this
explicit action, you're right. Whichever one you install last will take
over by setting itself as the default handler for PDFs (unless, of
course, the advanced user deselects that option during installation).
When I had both installed, I had some really quirky behavior, and when I
ditched the Reader, things quieted down. Good advice.
