If you don't want to spend money to buy the latest Adobe Acrobat, download and install the freeware Adobe Reader. The latest version is 11.0.4. There is no conflict in having both Adobe Acrobat (the writer) and Adobe Reader both installed on the same system. If you install Adobe Acrobat before installing Adobe Reader, then the latter will be what is used for displaying PDF files downloaded from the Web. -- David E.
