nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more... I probably will use it anyway. 
I also cheat on my taxes, some.

I paid for a registered copy of Acrobat 5.x . After a few months, it 
quit working and I had to reinstall
it. It wouldn't install! It wouldn't take the passcodes they sent me 
over the phone! I had to rip it out.
When Acrobat 6 came along, because 5 wasn't properly installed, I was 
unable to "upgrade" to 6.
Finally I ripped 'em all out and looked around for a clone. You might 
try an Acrobat clone that I like.
It isn't free but almost ($40 USD, if I recall). Its called "PDFWiz". I 
LOVE it.
