ML, you're gonna LOVE this! (assuming you're not all that pleased with Acrobat Reader, of course) For a program that does nothing but allow you to open and read a certain type of file, Acrobat Reader is one of the largest, bulkiest and obtrusive monstrosities on the planet. I still use PDF files a lot, but I haven't installed Acrobat Reader in a couple of years. Instead, I install the free Foxit Reader and I couldn't be happier. It's SO much smaller and less obtrusive than Adobe's reader and I have yet to find a PDF file that has any problem with it. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php Peace, Gman http://www.bornagainamerican.org "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask" ----- Original Message ----- From: "ml" <my2punkin@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 4:06 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Another reason to drop Adobe Acrobat Reader > ANOTHER reason??? so what is the other reason? and if one does drop it > what > else do we use in it's place??
