Works fine but uses around 90-110% of CPU on my MacBook Air, causing it to get really hot. Adobe Reader PDF Web forms in Safari is broken also.

Be prepared to LOSE 8 and 9! The workarounds are annoying (since you have to interface with 'application no longer works' popups) and enter your system's password just to see a document.

Works "ok". But web browser plugin (safari) is broken - mainly on the use of pdf web forms. Doesn't seem to work at all.

Reader v 9.0.0
Install OK, No issues w/ Safari (so far in very light testing on MBAir 1st gen). Processor activity fluctuated greatly from <10% to over 80%, even while idle.

Just installed Lion and Adobe will not allow downloads of Adobe Reader 10. Try to download it and the status wheel just keeps spinning
