<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here are some quotes from Dov Isaacs of Adobe, one of our patron saints around here:<br>
<br>
><i> Although you CAN have both Reader and Acrobat installed simultaneously (assuming the same version), it is very strongly NOT RECOMMENDED for a number of very good reasons. It certainly does not add any functionality to one's system...<br>
</i>><br>
<i> </i>><br>
<i> - Dov </i>><i> </i></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
Here's a link explaining some reasons why: <br>
<a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/pdf@lists.pdfzone.com/msg03152.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/pdf@lists.pdfzone.com/msg03152.html</a><br>
<br>
> I am sure we will get the inevitable responses from members of this list that boast about how they have multiple versions and/or mixtures of Acrobat and Reader concurrently installed and somehow get some or most of the functionality to work for them. On
the other hand, there are a tremendous number of problems reported to Adobe that are suddenly cleared up when the user's systems are scraped of all concurrent versions of Acrobat and Reader, replaced by a single version of one or another. (Note that by "Acrobat"
I mean any and all pieces of it including the Distiller, the AdobePDF PostScript printer driver instance, and the viewing program!)
<br>
<br>
> But, some list members will complain, how do I know what the recipients of my PDF file will see on their systems if I also don't have a copy of Reader installed, or perhaps multiple versions of Reader and Acrobat installed? The response to that is to have
test systems (or separate test partitions of your one system) that have minimal software installations (especially fonts) and a copy of the target version of Adobe Reader. That is the only way to truly simulate the user experience. For that matter, old, slower
systems are even more appropriate! <br>
<br>
- Dov ><br>
<br>
I got the above results using "Dov Isaacs Reader Acrobat on same computer" as a search term on Google. There are more results.<br>
<br>
I think the bottom line is that putting Reader and Acrobat on the same computer is not wise, but if you risk it, make sure both are the same version. You would be better off to set up a Windows Virtual PC with only default operating system and fonts if you
feel the need to test a Reader view. Even then, which version of Reader will you test? Users use different ones. And don't forget to embed all fonts.<br>
