I had Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 on Windows XP. I updated to 7.0.1 and finally
to 7.0.2.

Next, I installed Acrobat Pro 7.0 and the installer asked if I wanted
Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader to be my PDF file Reader. I said I wanted
Acrobat Reader 7.0.2 to be my PDF reader.

I ended up with Acrobat Pro installed and the version said 7.0.0. No
problem, so far.

When I ran the two updates (7.0.1 and 7.0.2), one after the other, I was
amazed that Acrobat Pro did not show 7.0.2 as the version number. It
remained 7.0.0.

As a last resort, I uninstalled Acrobat Reader 7.0.2 and reapplied the two
updates and now Acrobat Pro shows the version number to be 7.0.2.


NOTE: Its very confusing the rules for mixing and matching and
advantages/disadvantages of these two applications co-existing.

Also, the update files (7.0.1 and 7.0.2) seem to work for both products.
Yet, there seems no way that both products can reflect the two updates being
applied simultaneously. Seems that Acrobat Reader would reflect 7.0.2 and
Pro would stay at 7.0.0. This makes me wonder why Adobe allows both Acrobat
Reader 7 and Acrobat Pro 7 to co-exist. Maybe they should uninstall Acrobat
Reader 7 when Acrobat Pro 7 gets installed. If not a bug, certainly a
GOTCHA. That having been said, I believe that if you had Acrobat Reader 5 or
6 installed that Acrobat Pro could be updated to 7.0.2 and co-exist with a
lower version of Acrobat Reader. I have not tried it, its just a theory.


QUESTIONS:

Can you have both AR and APRO installed with both showing 7.0.2 as their
version numbers, and if not, why?

Is there any value in having both AR and APRO installed, when APRO also
allows reading of acrobat PDF files?

Am I correct in assuming that the two Adobe update files for Acrobat 7 are
both for Acrobat Reader 7 AND Acrobat Pro 7?
