Acrobat 7 Prof. along with Adobe Reader 8

There were some problems when Reader 8 came out that would crop up if a user had Acrobat 7 Professional and Reader 8 installed on a computer at the same time.

Our departments are still using Acrobat 7 Prof. to make new PDF's, etc. but we've thought about having them install Reader 8 as well to take advantage of its new features.

Is having both Acrobat 7 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 on a machine at the same time still causing issues?

Hello. What kind of issues were you plagued with?

After having deployed Reader 8, one user has reported problems with the PDF buttons in Word not working properly. However, I am unable to replicate this problem on my own workstation...

If anyone knows of these kinds of problems with Acrobat Pro 7 and Reader 8 please post your experiences here.
