As Dave Stamm pointed out, it is highly likely that your problem was caused by conflicts between multiple versions of Acrobat/Reader; and Dov Isaacs, Adobe's PDF guru, has warned against multiple installations countless times. If you have Acrobat, do NOT install Reader! http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/problems-installing-removing-acrobat-reader.html -- "Acrobat and Adobe Reader have numerous components that have similar functionality and can cause conflicts on a machine. The most prevalent among these conflicts involves the plug-ins for rendering PDF files in the browser, PDFMaker inside Office Applications, and the Adobe PDF printer."
