I was confused by this post since older versions of Adobe Reader don't
create files.  But I downloaded Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and it seems to come
up as the program of choice when you opt to "print"  - i.e. save a file
as a PDF.  Does version 8.1.1 have functions that are more like Adobe
Acrobat?

We will be submitting next week via Grants.gov so my interest in this is
more than academic.

Thanks,
