Well I guess I've totally lost all cognitive abilities either that or I'm going to have to knock a larger hole in my AV.
Trying to launch the pdf995 thing I find it is not a standalone in the usual sense Opened up the program drop menu for sxtracting an existing pdf file on my PC First had to kill acrobat reader so it wouldn't try an override because every file I tried to open with the pdf 995 thing acrobat would create a null fill out of it. 995 thing wouldn't open them so Restored all of the files to previous versions uninstalled everything that was related to PDF 995 deleted every known and unknown entry associated with PDF995 completely from the registry restarted the PC downloaded the 2 step process again paid close attention to what it asked tried it again on files already on PC same results
In PDF995's defense it has a lot of nice features that I feel I will like once I get it if I get it working.
