| 156549 | 2003-07-02 11:31:00 | What about Acrobat 5? I've got Acrobat 5 (not Acrobat Reader 5)installed; do I have to uninstall first before installing Acrobat Reader 6? | bk T (215) | ||

| 156551 | 2003-07-02 23:25:00 | You would NOT want to remove Acrobat 5, because you create PDF's with it, rather than just read, so yes, I agree with keeping it :-) | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 156552 | 2003-07-03 04:49:00 | Running Win XP Home Edition. Had Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 installed. Have just installed Adobe Reader 6.0, had same problem that there were no instructions to delete 5.1 but deleted 5.1 after installing 6.0 Had no file association problems as the same file AcroRd.exe is used in both versions. My only grizzle is the 43 Mb for 6.0 against the 15 Mb for 5.1 One other item after deleting 5.1 on opening 6.0 got advised opening a pdf in a browser was disabled, followed the instructions to re enable. Hope the 43Mb means there is a lot more facilities available. Re Backward compatability read 6.0 ReadMe file. |

| 156554 | 2003-07-04 01:53:00 | It takes about 7 seconds to open the reader and download a 32 page pdf document. Not a serious problem compared with trying to get onto the browser via Xtra at around the heavy traffic times of 9am, 12noon, 3 and 6 pm. | FrankS (257) | ||
