Vista - Adobe Reader

01-31-2008

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?

01-31-2008

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.

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.

there is adobe the full program that can EDIT pdf files
and there is ADOBE reader

compatible

he is probably not talking about the adobe reader, but the adobe editor.
