It worked for me too. if anyone cared to go through various 
other-list archives i was griping about Acrobat 5.0.5 quitting 
instantly on launch, months and months ago. It was fine when I booted 
into OS 9, but refused to load in OSX after one of the revisions. I 
finally set "Preview" as my default for .pdf files and added it to my 
"Adobe's got Photoshop and AE, and after that???" file.

I switched the same two languages in the international pane, and sure 
enough, after one failure to initialize the gargantuan number of 
"phone home' spyware, plugins that bloats Acrobat, it launched 
perfectly, and quickly too.

I had done tons of full re-installs. measured the entire app plus 
'Library' items right down to the Kbs,in both 9 and X, and did 
'checksums', etc...and nothing made sense, but the bloated Acrobat is 
back. because of a simple switch in languages in the International 
pane.. Believe it or not.
