I had issues with 7.0.9 on internet Adobe files with IE7, which came on after the last IE7 update. Trying to open a .pdf file on the internet instantly crashed IE7 sans error message. I uninstalled 7.0.9 and installed 8 with difficulty, having to install it in safe mode, which should never be. Version 8 works fine if the .pdf is on my computer, but if I try to open an internet file, it fails (although it does not crash IE7). However, if I manually open Adobe Reader 8 first, then it works fine for internet .pdfs. For some reason Adobe 8 is not recognizing the file type to open the software. I have updated versions of Adobe from version 3 on with all intermediate steps, and this is the first problem I've ever had. I called support, and they wanted to charge me $40 to fix it. I don't think so, Adobe! Not to correct YOUR screw-up.
