Preview had been the defacto PDF / Image viewer for me after I started using my mac. I remember having an Acrobat reader installed sometime initially but never used it as Preview is open most of the time on my Mac and I did not want to burden my CPU with one more Application. But suddenly a few days back when I tried to open a PDF on my Preview it showed nothing but a small PDF watermark on all the pages and nothing else. I tried opening the PDF in Google Chrome and Firefox using the Acrobat plugin and they just display the contents with no problem, thats when I wanted the Acrobat Reader back on my Mac. I never thought it would be so difficult to get it back. I kept trying to download the Acrobat Reader from Adobe site and got nothing but a switch off your Antivirus message but nothing else. I couldnt get through that - neither the Apple communites nor the Adobe forums could be of any help and finally Google came to the rescue by showing me this site - http://www.oldapps.com/mac/adobe_reader.php. I am now back with the reader, even though I am still continuing to have Preview as my default PDF viewer :-) Thanks OldApps.
