Re: Version 5.05 server address information warning

Re: Backup SmartCard for Disaster Planning

We have just installed Adobe Reader 9 because we need the ability to print Japanese fonts. This is subsequent to (i.e. after) our recent upgrade to V5 of the patent filing software. Now, when we try to use V5, we get the error message "Adobe Reader not installed". I guess V5 is looking for...
