Foxit is OUTSTANDING for use outside the US!  ;]

Me and IRS/turbo-tax doesn't have that much to do with each other (I live in
Sweden), so I'm going to interpret that Foxit Reader is good enough forr
non-US users. 8-)

Here's one problem that I've run across.  When you install Adobe Reader, it
modifies header data that your browser sends in http requests and says,
"Yeah, I'll accept PDFs."  Either the Fox It software doesn't, or it has
different header text from Adobe's.  When I went to use Turbo Tax
(Web-based) this year, the site wouldn't let me continue because I didn't
have Adobe Reader installed and would need it at some point.  Now, this is
NOT  a problem with Fox It, imo.  This is Turbo Tax being very narrow-minded
and poorly-designed, I think.  Although aside from that and the fact that
you have to CLICK the login button, Turbo Tax is a pretty damn impressive
Web app.
