Which Program for Adobe?

Postby Lester » Fri 2007 Feb 02 10:03

Downloaded and installed Adobe to view a PDF and couldn't because I don't know which program to use to open the PDF. Not sure if I have it. Win 2000. What program do I look for? Little weak in this area. Sign ---Which program do you want to use to open this file?
If Adobe is a program, why does it need another program to open it or run it? Does it act as an interface? Sincerely

Download from this page, install, try to view your pdf, and report back.

Adobe is a Company, there's a few products you could have downloaded. Reader, Shockwave, and flash. Adobe Reader is for viewing PDF. I can only assume you installed on of the others.

If Adobe is a program, why does it need another program to open it or run it? Does it act as an interface? Still doing OK----Sincerely

As cmptch said, Adobe is a company, just like Microsoft is a company. Microsoft = Windows as Adobe = Acrobat Reader (which displays PDF files).
