Hello everyone.

So I really hate adobe reader. It's ridiculously huge when all I want to do is 
read text, installs a speed launcher in memory that I don't want, and crashes 
almost every time I close it. There are a number of other programmes out there 
that sensible people use, like PDF XChange viewer, but I haven't heard much 
from jaws users on this subject. This list is pretty much my only contact with 
the screenreading community in general and I don't really have the time or 
inclination to try a bunch of programmes until I find one that works. I know 
adobe reader has special accessibility features and so abandoning their 
horrible software might not be as easy for us as it is for sighted users. Any 
thoughts? Thanks.
