Re: [OT] Adobe Reader 8 and Vista... - an alternative?



Hiya Phil,
If the only thing your using Acrobat Reader to read/print PDF files, you
may want to try Foxit PDF reader. Its free (as is Acrobat) but its WAY
smaller than Acrobat, and a lot quicker to load up when you need it - no
more bloatware.

Maybe worth a look if the only thing you do with a PDF is read, search
and print.

have fun!
Wayne.
