Adobe Reader 9

The new version of the Adobe reader (version 9) is now available as i found while hunting the Adobe site to try to figure out why Adobe Reader 8 can only print 12 pages of a document at a time.

I found out the hard way though that the instructions that are on their site for downloading using Firefox are utter garbage. I followed their instructions and it used the Adobe download manager to download the file and then stupidly tried to install it automatically (which of course failed since you can’t install it from a limited account on Windows (and no one would be stupid enough to access the internet in a web browser on an administrator account unless they are trying to collect viruses). When their download mangler couldn’t install the file which it had just taken ages to download it either deleted it or hid it so well that I can’t find it. I have ended up having to download the entire program AGAIN because of their stupid download mangler. If you are going to download Reader 9 using Firefox then make sure you DO NOT allow their download mangler to run and use the regular download manager in Firefox to download the file instead.
