Adobe Reader

I have found that some of my professional materials which used Adobe 5 are
not compatible with Adobe 8 which is included in Vista Home Premium. I
notice all the problems installing Adobe in Vista. I have been told to
remove Adobe 8 from my computer and install Adobe 5. Is this a good idea in
the opinion of this group?

I use this reader (Foxit) with VISTA. It works great and is much smaller than
Adode

Another responder who doesn't know the answer so he answers a question
that wasn't asked.

Tired of MS Office and their shananigans?

And I suppose your answer helped or are you the Forum police?

I do not believe Adobe 5 will run on Vista.

It is a question for Adobe, not here, but the guy gave good advice. Foxit is
a far better program.

Oh, and MS Office is a better bet than Open Office too..

The distiller/printing driver part of Adobe 5 is not compatible with Vista
and Adobe has no plans to update it.

I am glad to hear that Adobe 5 will not work with Vista. I won't install it.
However, I wonder if the material I have in Adobe 5, some of which is on CD
Rom will work with the Foxit program you suggest.

compatible
