Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader on same client

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Hi, Tammy and Fred.

I know about the dire warnings on installing both Reader and Acrobat on the same system, but I have done this without any issues for more than five or six years now (since Reader 7 onwards, as I recall).

I always install Reader first, and then Acrobat afterwards - so that all the defaults, files, etc., are from Acrobat. Even when updating later (on Adobe security and other releases), I do them in that order - although the Acrobat updates seem to lag the Reader ones sometimes by days, so I wait. Meaning, I do not use auto-update without my express selection.

This has prevented any problems for me - the default action is that Acrobat is used for normal PDF display, etc., but I can still manually use Reader to check out how my PDF files work with it.

All,

I have heard on many  occasions that you should not have Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader installed on the same client, but I need to test something in Reader before I  pass a PDF off and all three of my available systems already have Adobe Acrobat Pro loaded. Is it possible to load Reader at all just for some brief testing and then uninstall it after the testing is complete, or will I encounter any issues by doing this?

Thank you,

TVB
