Just a world of warning as well, do not update Pro 8. Many people have found that updating (me being on of them) causes Acrobat 8 Pro to no longer load. I tried uninstalling and starting from scratch, ran through registry and removed every associated key I could find (took a good hour and a half). Ended up reinstalling Windows completely. I decided to not download/install/prompt for any updates. I figure it's not broke so I'm not going to 'fix it' with any updates. Updating 8 did the same thing, asked to restart over and over as well. I am waiting for Xournal to catch up on the PDF annotating capabilities of Adobe Acrobat Pro, then I can ditch this whole OS altogether :)

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional, not just Adobe Acrobat Reader. It
insists on occasional updates. After installation it will search for
updates, then it will bug you until you do them. Each update is more than
100 MB in size and it requires a reboot. So after installing the program,
to get it to work correctly you have to download hundreds of megabytes of
data and reboot *several times*. I think it was four reboots for me.
This is because every new update requires the previous updates, so if they
have four updates available when you install the program, you have to
download four updates and reboot after every update. This is on Windows,
but it's probably the same on Linux or other OSs except that you probably
don't have to reboot Linux, I would hope!
In the end I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.9 which Windows tells me
(in Add/Remove Programs) has a "size" of
674.00 MB (707 million bytes, I
believe). I assume that is the total amount of disk space I've given up
to this one program -- it is the volume of the Adobe Acrobat directory in
Program Files.
Ridiculous bloatware! This is the worst of all the programs I work with
regularly.
