This morning I tried to open a PDF file (through Firefox) and a message came up asking to update the Reader because the pdf file might not display properly. I went to the Adobe/Acrobat website and downloaded & installed Adobe Reader 9. Now I have both "Acrobat Reader 5.0" and "Adobe Reader 9" icons on my desktop. I also checked under "Start/All Programs" and under Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" and I have both programs. I'm afraid to delete what I think is the older version of the program (Acrobat Reader 5.0) because I don't know if the two programs differ in scope or whatever. Is Adobe Reader 9 the new version of Acrobat Reader 5.0? If so, how come the new version didn't delete the older version? Thank you for any help you can provide. Luis

Yes, they are both the same product although version 5 is super old. I don't know why it wasn't uninstalled by Reader 9. You might get away with just uninstalling version 5 but I'd be inclined to uninstall both and then re-install 9 just to be safe. Les

Sounds good, Les. I will do as you suggest and uninstall both and re-install 9. Thank you for the advice. Luis

Hi, I have a problem with Reader 9.1 When I print a pdf document from it, the page is filled with 'gobbledy-gook' characters, but in the correct positions. (ie. the lines are in the correct place and roughly the right length). The characters are the same every time, but NOT in ASCII, they are things like copyright symbol, fractions, upside down question marks, foreign accented chars etc. The pictures on the page print correctly. I have tried printing the pdf from ghostscript and it's fine, so therefore I can rule out the printer and the document. I also cannot print a pdf file correctly from IE or Firefox. Can Anyone help ? Regards, Vista x64 SP1 Adobe Reader 9.1 Epson C900 colour laser
