Yes, check for the system hanlder for PDF; if it's found, check the file properties tomake sure it belongs to adobe; then grab the file version.

You will check for a PDF viewer, then be sure it's Adobe's; then check the version #. NOTE: There are many other PDF viewers, so you may want to ask your user if they want to install Acrobat before you arbitrarily overwrite their choosen viewer.
You will need to use:
File.GetDefaultViewer()
File.GetVersionInfo().CompanyName
File.GetVersionInfo().FileVersion
