[X4U] Acrobat Annoyances - Multiple "open with" entries.

[Brett Conlon]

There was a time that I had ALL PDF's opening in Preview until I kept 
finding PDF's that just didn't open right. I could see whole chunks of 
pages missing. I'd then open them into Acrobat Reader and the pages would 
preview properly.

I've gone back toReader, even though it still takes WAY longer to launch 
and open PDF's.

I also like the added features in Reader's Print dialogue.

Cheers,

Coj

ps. I only see the one entry in "Open with..."

Print Options are superior in Adobe Reader compared with Preview.
