There is a difference between Acrobat reader and Acrobat. Acrobat
reader is that low tech version that allows you to read PDF files,
Acrobat is what allows you to read and write them. WordPerfect 3 now

also a cheap version of Acrobat provided by Nuance (the successor to
PaperPort scanning software). And, as KV says "and so it goes." one of
the most eloquent statements I have ever heard.
