Worth a shot, but Not sure how well it will work with jaws. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jose" <crunch1@xxxxxxxxx> To: "real eyes list" <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 11:02 AM Subject: [real-eyes] Trojan impersonates Adobe update, targets XP machines XP Question Corner Do I have to have Adobe? QUESTION: I don't like Adobe as a company, and I don't like the Adobe Reader (used to be Acrobat Reader) on my machine because of all the security issues and constant updates. But of course lots of web sites put documents up in PDF format so I have to have some way to read those. Is there a free alternative to Adobe or am I stuck? Thanks. - Mark L. ANSWER: Although many folks think PDF and Adobe are inextricably entwined and that you have to have Adobe's software to read the format, there are actually a number of alternate PDF readers and some of them are far more functional than Reader. The one I use is called PDF XChange Viewer and it not only allows you to view PDF files but also lets you do simple editing: add comments, text, notes, draw and highlight and more. I also like that it will integrate with translation software. With this program, you no longer have to have Adobe's Reader installed on your machine at all.
