5 Things to Think About Before Deploying Adobe Reader or Acrobat X ...

Do you want to have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat installed?

Prior to version X, Adobe did not support a configuration where both Reader and Acrobat are installed on the same system; this is now a supported configuration. If you want to deploy this way, you’ll want to decide which product is the default for viewing PDF files before you deploy them both. When deploying Reader on systems with Acrobat, the installer sets Acrobat, the more functional of the two applications, as the default PDF viewer. If the Acrobat application is an early version such as 6, 7 or 8, opening PDF files can be significantly slower than with Reader X.

If you are an end user and you want to install both Reader X and Acrobat X, install Reader first.

If you are deploying Acrobat and Reader across your enterprise, the upcoming Customization Wizard X will allow you to define the default viewer. I’ll announce the availability of the Customization Wizard on this blog. Please stay tuned.
