    Permissions with SMB Sharing

    Acrobat 7 Pro crashes on launch

    Hi Ok silly question, if you have CS3 and CS4 why use Acrobat 7, you have Acrobat V8 and V9 in the CS3/4 packages? I would guess the reason why is because you have multiple versions trying to use the same app support files, Adobe do not recommend this as it causes issues.
