Upgrade problems (AGAIN!)

This seems like the third time in a row that I am getting multiple 
semi-random errors after "upgrading" Adobe Reader.  In previous cases, I had 
to remove the application and re-install it to get it to operate without 
error. This time I have already removed it and re-downloaded it (~50MB!!) 
twice, but still getting errors virtually every time I open a PDF document. 
Even documents that opened without error before.  I am getting these kinds 
of errors constantly, typically at random (i.e. not the same errors in the 
same places even when opening the same pdf file more than once.)

* A drawing error occurred.
* There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this 
document (135).
* An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. 
Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the 
problem.
* Cannot extract the embedded font 'SKSMBI+Arial-BoldMT'. Some characters 
may not display or print correctly.

Frankly, I'm ready to dump Adobe completely and seek a 3rd party solution to 
viewing pdf files. I will certainly never "upgrade" Adobe reader again. You 
would think that I would have learned from being burned the last two times.

I am running factory-installed Windows 7 Home Premium on a Sony VAIO 
VGN-NW270F. But I have had the same problem on other systems, so it feels 
like the problem is with Adobe Reader and not with the OS or the hardware. 
I can't see that the behavior is any different opening a document within a 
browser (I use IE and Chrome) vs. using standalone Adobe Reader.
