I have tried to install Reader 9 to my "new" iBook G4 (10.4.11) several times, with no success.

I downloaded the proper file, un-compressed it <AdbeRdr90_en_US_ppc.pkg> and began the install. It stopped, and said it couldn't be installed.

Just in case the file had been corrupted, I downloaded it again. Same result.

Called Adobe Customer Service, they said I had to uninstall v4 and v5 (OS 9 versions). Mac doesn't have a Windows "uninstall" program, so I dragged both apps to the trash, and tried to install v9 again, SAME RESULT.

Customer Service rep directed me here....

Hell, I'd be happy to have ANY recent version that works on 10.4
