I have a MacPro 10.4.11 and I have installed on my hard drive 4 versions of Adobe Reader. From version 7.0.5, to the latest one 9
I have found that very rarely will I be able to open a pdf file with the latest version it is always the older version that is able to open the document.

In each case when I have been installing a newer version it implies that it will replace the older one but it never does.

Should I be trashing the older versions or is it better to keep at least the oldest one in case the new version won't work.
Thanks
