Mike - if your concern is the load speed of Acrobat, be sure you have v7 of the reader. Previous versions were very slow on load due to a bunch of "certifying dlls" that went on every time it was launched. v7 adds "Acrobat Reader Speed Launch" to the users start-up folder which eliminates the delay.......
