Dov repeats the by now familiar warning about installing and using multiple releases of Acrobat. This has been going on for a long time now, so evidently a good number of people have good reasons for wanting to retain multiple versions of Acrobat. Instead of making this the customer's problem (maintaining two different releases on different computers and other workarounds) why not fix it? If Adobe is in the business of satisfying customer needs, it appears that a significant number of customers want this to be implemented. And don't anybody say it can't be done. We need to go no further than our old mate FrameMaker. I have FrameMaker v. 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 installed on my computer and they all co-exist quite happily. They are there so I can troubleshoot problems that my colleagues may be having with the particular version of FM on their computers. So, not only can I run all three versions simultaneously, but when I impatiently double-click the destop icon too enthusiastically, I can have multiple launches of the ONE release running.
