Hi, Usually, web-sites that say that they require Adobe Reader don't actually "require" Adobe Reader. All that they require is that you have a pdf reader installed. Normally, Preview or pdfpen would do the job. Adobe Reader also installs an Internet Plugin that takes over Safari and other browsers making it so that Adobe will often open within Safari in an embedded fashion which is unusable to us VO users. You can remove this plugin by going into your Macintosh HD, Library, Internet Plugins and removing the Adobe Reader Internet Plugin. Adobe will still work, it just won't force it to be opened within your browser.
