Adobe Acrobat Reader
in [Mac Applications]

From: Mirsky on 4 May 2010 00:39 Hi Every day or so, the Adobe Reader Updater launches and tells me to download version 9.3.2. Then after trying to download the update, it says "The update could not be completed because the Adobe Acrobat Reader application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again." Should I just trash Adobe Acrobat or was it installed with the Mac OS? I can't remember if it came with my Mac or not. But I never use it since I have Preview. Thanks

Preview is considerably better. Have just run into a pdf file that would not open in Preview, but needed Acrobat Reder.

It is far more trouble -- from its installer that doesn't recognize that OS X is a multiuser system to its security problems -- than it is worth. Every now and then you might find something that Preview won't handle, but there are lots of PDF readers out there that are faster, safer, and smoother than Adobe Reader.
