Not sure if this will work but what i would do is throw away 5 that is in the trash and then use get info on a pdf file and then choose acrobat six to open them from the list and then click change all. Richard Yup. It was opening up the program from the trash. I didn't think that was possible because I can't open files that are in the trash, but whatever. Thanks. Acrobat is hist. As you were everybody. Pep
