New Adobe Acrobat reader - should I install?
Anyone tried it? Even worse then the previous version. Slower, less convenient controls, more eye candy, updater that constantly tries to connect to Adobe website and cannot be muted (you can try to, but it will be reinstaller on the next launch of Reader) ... I gave up on Adobe Reader and recently found a nice replacement - Apparition: http://ccxvii.net/apparition/ (main page) http://ccxvii.net/apparition/download/ (download) No installer, ultra fast, minimalistic interface - only PDF document displayed (use mouse and keyboard to navigate). |

New Adobe Acrobat reader - should I install?
"John Rowland" wrote in message ... Anyone tried it? I've been running Acrobat Reader 8 for a few months without any problems on my XP system. There was an initial problem of getting used to the revised user interface and that some of the options have moved and aren't necessarily as obvious, but it didn't take long to find the options I wanted. |

Alternatively, Foxit Reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php Also really fast - I used to dread finding that something was a pdf when I used Adobe Acrobat. |

It's not on mine by default, but by using "Tools" - "Customise Toolbars" you can add it, and most anything else you want. -- Cheers for now, John from Harrow, Middx remove spamnocars to reply |
