I used the windows add / remove programs. it looks like i did a good job
getting rid of everything - i looked in the hard drive and, though Adobe was
listed as a file, it was empty. Multiple versions...I think the 4.0 version
came with the computer, no idea where v.5 came from, and v.6 and beyond where
upgrades. I have a Scan Soft 3.0 PDF converter on my computer, should i just
try to use it as a default?
