The Bits 2.0

Spare your sanity. If you don want this to happen, never ever install Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a Windows Vista system with UAC enabled and Microsoft Office 2007 installed:

No amount of reinstalling solved the problem. You could either disable UAC, which leaves a big security hole in your system because almost everything will be running with administrator level permission, or you could reinstall Windows. I ended up reinstalling Windows because this Adobe piece of wondrous shit is making me go crazy.

IMHO, Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional just suck! It’s a freaking bloatware that takes up several gigabytes of your hard disk space installing nonsense and bloated libraries. The best thing to do is to get rid of that bloated crap. Here are your options:

1. Use Microsoft XPS – Comes installed with Windows Vista and .Net Framework 3.5
2. Can’t live without PDF? Use the open source PDF Creator. It creates PDFs and its free!
3. Use Foxit PDF reader - It reads PDF, its free and its only 2.2MB
