So I tried using Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 today for the first time in a long time. I just wanted to see if it could help make a pdf smaller and still readable (as compared to print-to-pdf from Photoshop).
I fired it up and opened the pdf in question. Instead of an Acrobat window coming up, I got the updater. After a long time downloading, the updater told me Acrobat had to be quit. But Acrobat was frozen. I had to force quit it. Then the updater hung about 90% complete. So I force quit that. And then--delayed by about half an hour--I went back to simpler ways to make a smaller pdf.
Later, I decided to check Acrobat for updates. Choosing Check for Updates in the Help menu, I found six updates it suggested. Being busy, I selected them all and went to dinner. After dinner (a nice bit of wild salmon with coconut rice, thank you very much), I came back to a dialog telling me that there was nothing to update. I quit the updater again.
Being a curious sort, I went back and chose Check For Updates again. It gave me the same list, but the final update was the version I already have. Sheesh! (This *is* a family list, after all.)
I've never had even remotely the number of problems from Apple's OS updates as I routinely have from Adobe application updates.
