    Acrobat is a bit of a resource hog, plus it tries to install photo software which wastes even more space. If you simply need to read files, use Foxit Reader. A search on Google will give you download details; like Acrobat it's free.

    Both will read a PDF file. Acrobat will also create and edit a PDF; Reader doesn't . If you just need to read a PDF, download a free version of Reader and use that.

    Acrobat READER is a FREE program which you can download from Adobe which will let you read any .PDF file.

    Adobe Acrobat is a program that lets you create, edit, markup, and otherwise manipulate new and existing PDF files.

    both, I think, I have Adobe reader, but something isn't working with it so whenever I come across a pdf file I have to right click it and save it to my computer before I can open it.

    Download the reader. Be forwarned if you are on dialup, it is a somewhat lengthy downoad, so be prepared to do it sometime when you AREN'T planning on doing other online activities.

    You only need the reader. Though they both will work.

    Either one will work. I'm not entirely sure of the difference between the two though
