I'd never get away from this thing, Noel and you would be out of a job bg.

How would I know, unless I asked, Noel.
Thank you very much

Harry.

Oh boy, Noel, here it goes:
When I mentioned plugins, I was referring to the files with the

Acrobat
icon. As I opened them, the warning message about missing plugins was
displayed. In my thinking, those files were plugins, but that
apparently
is
wrong.
Where do I look for the "plugins" to delete?
Hopefully I don't 'bore' you.

Harry.

Uninstall the plugins for Adobe first - then the reader

To All:
By now I am able to answer my own question(s):
Apparently that message was due to the presence of the plug-ins

for
the
Acrobat Reader. Once I removed and then reinstalled the Acrobat

Reader
and
reassigned Foxit as the active Reader, those pesty messages were
gone
and
Foxit is in its element. But Acrobat must still remain as a

program,
or
the
plugins will become just 'word' files.
If there is a way around this, I would like to know it.
Thanks.

Harry.

Foxit works mighty slick, Mike, but I get this error message,

that
windows
cannot find a pdf file, even though it found it, so I just click

it
'off'.
But why the message? Should I simply ignore it?

Harry.

Thank you Mike.
What will happen to the existing Adobe files after I'd change
to
Foxit? Can it open them?

Harry,

Yes. Foxit can read most if not all pdf files generated by

Adobe
Acrobat
and other pdf generators.

That may sound illiterate to you, but it's a question for me.
At any rate, I am going to try the desktop method first.

Best of luck,
