Adobe Acrobat Reader
Mirsky
download version 9.3.2. Then after trying to download the update, it
says "The update could not be completed because the Adobe Acrobat Reader
application contents were modified since the original installation.
Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
Should I just trash Adobe Acrobat or was it installed with the Mac OS? I
can't remember if it came with my Mac or not. But I never use it since I
have Preview.
Thanks

And Skim is better still.

And in what ways is Skim "better still" than Preview?

Have just run into a pdf file that would not open in Preview, but
needed Acrobat Reder.
Rare, but it does happen.

Yes.
It is far more trouble -- from its installer that doesn't recognize that
OS X is a multiuser system to its security problems -- than it is worth.
Every now and then you might find something that Preview won't handle, but
there are lots of PDF readers out there that are faster, safer, and
smoother than Adobe Reader.

I rarely read top-posted, over-quoting or HTML postings.

I've run into that too - maybe not so rare.

Can you suggest any (apart from all the ones that use the same PDF
engine as Preview.app, so don't really help)?

This is the approach I took several years ago. It meant that I had to
revert to pen and paper for some pre-printed forms, but that wasn't
really a hassle (and I saved on both paper and printer ink).
