That is a major pet peeve of mine as well. I hate it when people/ 
sites state that you have to have "Acrobat to read this document."  
Baloney. You have to have a PDF reader/viewer to view the file; of  
which there are many.

Another pet peeve is that people refer to Adobe's free PDF viewer as  
"Acrobat." Acrobat is the for-cost PDF creations/editing application.  
"Adobe Reader" is the free reader/viewer.
