All you need is Adobe Reader 8.1.2 which can be downloaded from
Grants.gov site.

I have not tried this, but assume the Grants.gov site info is
correct.  Let us know how it works.

Hello All,

I am one of those lurkers who has been soaking up the collective
knowledge,
particularly as it pertains to Adobe and grants.gov.  I am preparing to
submit a proposal that can only go via Adobe but have run into a little
hitch.  I have Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and Adobe Acrobat 7.  I have just
tried
to get Adobe Acrobat 8 but my Purchasing Department is saying that can't
get it anymore - only Acrobat 9 which won't be available until after the
proposal deadline.  Can anyone make recommendations on how I can get
around
the fact that I do have and regularly use the lower version of Acrobat?

Many thanks.

Lorrie Anthony
