beeg is probably correct that installing FoxIt with Adobe Acrobat probably isn't a very good idea. But I can say that I am an IT professional with many years of experience and my professional opinion is to uninstall Acrobat and install FoxIt.

I'm hoping to finish up the fireplace surround/mantel tomorrow (sans painting maybe). I'll post pictures when I do. The next project after that is a bench for the 10ER!

I've been interested in it all my life and my dad was a DIY kind of guy, but his material of choice was metal. When we built our house when I was in ...
