Hi there,

I need to be able to verify that produced PDF files are displayed properly in different versions of Acrobat Reader (5-7), in what will usually be a Windows Environment.

I know that it is possible to install the three different versions of the Reader on my PC, but I notice that they each use shared files, so I am presuming that the last installed version of Acrobat may have overwritten these files. This means that the previous versions may not be functioning as it would normally. Is this a fair assumption to make?

My question is there a way of having multiple versions of the Reader program to verify produced PDF's display properly and be comfortable in the knowledge that having multiple versions will not affect each other in terms of how they work.

Many Thanks For Any ideas or thoughts
