Adobe Reader for Mac OS - please help!

Is the Adobe Acrobat reader for the Mac OS compatible with the Windows version? I have saved a document on my laptop as a PDF format, and need it to open on my iMac at home in order to print it out, as the printer only works with my Mac.
I have downloaded the latest versions of Adobe, and it just refuses to open my document - in fact it crashes every time. I know Mac has a PDF reader but changes the font and other minor but very important details, and it does not allow me to edit!
Does anyone know of a solution - either a way to make the Adobe reader compatible with the Windows version, or a way to edit the font, text size etc of documents using the Mac PDF? Any assistance would be very gratefully received!

PS The OS I have on my iMac is Leopard

There is no "compatibility" issue between Adobe Reader on the different OS's. It is just that, a reader. It will not allow you to edit on either OS. Acrobat Professional is what allows a PDF to be edited.

It sounds like the PDF itself may also be corrupt.

Agreed. One of the great things about the Portable Document Format - is its....portability ;D

If it is corrupt, surely it wouldn't work on the Windows OS? It opens fine with Windows

How are you getting the file from Windows to Mac?

Saved the file on a USB key, then put usb key in Mac

Can you open it using Preview?
