Adobe PDF Reader 9 or X?

[Chopie]

Altho I use PDF-Xchange Viewer, I like Adobe Reader.

Am still using Reader 9 on a old slow XP machine. Avoided Adobe Reader
X because when it came out last year some users reported it caused
system problems which couldn't be solved by an uninstall. Is Reader X
less troublesome now?

What's the advantage of Reader X anyway?

What I'f really like is a free PDF reader that indexes a bunch of PDFs
so it searches quickly for keywords. ISTR an old version of Reader
could do this but I can't find that function any more.

Both Reader 9 and 10 are supported and updated so its your call.

I haven't had any problems on any computer with Adobe Reader 10.x and I have dealt with
many.

BTW: news:adobe.acrobat.windows is for Adobe Acrobat, the software used for creating an
manipulating PDFs while news:adobe.acrobat.reader is for the PDF viewer.

Adobe Acrobat can do this, not Adobe Reader.
