I use what my clients use, as there are a lot of add-ons to Acrobat that get used by them. Still, I have never had any problems with it. What don't you like? |

It is like inviting a cleaning service into your house. Everything seems wonderful at first. Then you start to notice subtle little things. Something got tossed you wanted to keep, other things got moved a bit this way and that. New cleaning supplies in the closet that really aren't what you would like being used. And you can't go back to the way it was before you invited them on... I can understand businesses that use Acrobat (paid for) to create documents but there are plenty of good readers available nowadays that don't rearrange your system as they see fit. -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

I can understand businesses that use Acrobat (paid for) to create documents but there are plenty of good readers available nowadays that don't rearrange your system as they see fit. I've been using 'SumatraPDF' for at least a couple of years now. It must be okay for general reading because I've never thought about looking for an alternative in that time. As you say, there's a number of good free alternatives out there, especially for just reading files. |
