Here's a novice's quesstion for the gang:
I always thought (until recently) that PDF's were an "Adobe" specific format, much like Word docs are their vendor's (MS) specific format. Were they and now something has changed? Did they always leave them unprotected so that their format would have wide acceptance?

It seems that their are now many different PDF programs that create, view, and manipulate PDF's. So what's the deal with them? I like many people received a free copy of Adobe Reader with the machines here in our office. Will installing these other more complete programs mess with our Adobe programs? Same Idea, Jon and AC have installed some amount of Adobe in the AC file, I gather for reading PDF's in the imports and the like. If we activate one of these other programs would AC then use it to view and work with PDF's or again might this jam up the works? Can anyone enlighten us on this?
