I want to revert to Adobe Reader 9

Question

I allowed Adobe Reader ro update tonight to version 10.1.1 and the font quality is absolutely horrible. The density (boldness) varies in the characters of a single word. The first few characters might be so light as to be almost unreadable, but the next character may be bold. Some characters vary in density when comparing the left to the right side of the single character.
Will I be able to revert to an earlier version by downloading it and installing it?

No doubt that many people can do it the way you did. However, I have also seen many reports of persons who couldn't remove Reader completely by any of the standard methods. I therefore tend to offer the longer route, knowing that it may be unnecessary. As a matter of fact, several persons to whom I have given the same advise have found that their problem is solved just by using the alternative download site offered.
Claudio, that utility has been replaced by this one: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Running that worked on this occasion for example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4048255#4048255
Using the utility you suggested risks damaging Microsoft Office if you happen to have that installed. Microsoft withdrew it because of conflicts with Office 2007 whereby the latter installation no longer worked after running the cleanup utility.
