Agreed - I always save every install file so I can reload if necessary, and if you want a copy of version 6 I can send the install file to you. But of course Adobe only allowed you to download V6.0 directly, updates come as a "do you want to update" question with no option to store the file. So I don't know if the file will currently load later Acrobat Reader V6 versions rather than take you straight to V7, which I will avoid like the plague until Legacy can deal with the problem.

Ouimet Sent: 22 December 2004 00:45 To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Acrobat Reader 7 Acrobat Reader 7 certainly did a nice job on me ... I have Acrobat 5.05 (Reader, Distiller & Writer) on my PC. Sometime ago I installed Acrobat Reader 6.0 in a separate diectory and all lived happily. I could do all my PDF creation work and view in 6.0 those PDF files containing elements version 5 could not read. I heard of 7.0 earlier today and installed the reader in yet another folder. It's been a fun day! When I try to run 7.0, 5.0 starts up and 6.0 has vanished. Yes, 6 has vanished. I ended up going through a number of 7.0 downloads/intalls (I can't see how to get 6 anymore) and uninstalls/installs of 5 (CD) and the 5.05 upgrade (CD). After a few frustrating hours of uninstalling/downloading/installing/rebooting (and round and round), I do believe I am back in working order with 5.0 to create and read PDF's and 7.0 available for those who create non-backward-compatible PDF's. I think ... I used to downloade Acrobat software with my eyes closed knowing them as responsible installers. Adobe is now on my beware list ...
