HELP! I downloaded Republic Techs recommended download for Acrobat 5.0, well almost. FYI, using XP Pro.
However, instead of update/patch to 5.05 the update was 5.07. I installed that from Adobe.
Bad news, while I do have Acrobat 5.05 installed on my computer, and I can open existing pdf files by opening Acrobat first, I can no longer open an existing pdf from Word nor can I make a new pdf directly from Word.
What I get when trying to open an existing pdf via Word is a long string like this:
%PDF-1.3

I ended this on page 2 of 565!!!! pages. This is only a two page doc.
I see the word “linearized”, and it certainly is.
ATtempted these fixes:
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 5.05. No change.
Next I backed up all of My Docs and uninstalled & reinstalled MS Office. No change.
Any recommendations to correct or uninstall it? I believe this patch goes to several areas of XP and Acrobat. It is not available as a software to uninstall.
Thanks & Be Well,
Gary
