Adobe Reader (the free download often pre-installed on computers) and Adobe Acrobat (the paid software to create and edit PDFs) can happily exist together on the same computer.

When you install Acrobat, it will detect Reader and will ask you which of the two you want to use as the default, for example when you open a PDF on a website or double-click an icon. Aside from that, the two programs will work entirely independently.
