Download the latest version of Adobe Reader 8

On Windows I used to use version 5.0.5 as I remember because version 6 was very heavy for my system.

Is this new version any better?

 

I use Foxit Reader: stable and fast. Some users report incorrect rendering on certain documents
There is a tool for customizing the Adobe Reader

 

i secound foxxit reader
would never go back to the bloated adobe reader.

Foxit here also

 

Thanks for the heads up!!!

 

Just downloaded Foxit Reader. I've NEVER heard of this program before. Just a few quick questions:

1) Should I uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0 now that I have this program?

2) Is this ONLY compatible for the FireFox browser, or is it a standalone program?

3) Is it recommended to install the Adobe Reader SpeedUp application as mentioned above by lucas1985?

Thanks.

 

1) You can keep Adobe Acrobat
2) It´s a standalone PDF reader
3) That app. is for speeding up Adobe Acrobat Reader. It removes the unnecessary plug-ins during the load of Acrobat Reader. This way, Acrobat speeds up a lot

 

an alternative to having Adobe reader and Adobe Reader SpeedUp, is to use Adobe Reader Lite. it already has several plugins removed and thus the installer is smaller.

i havent tried it as i use foxit, but id like to hear any feedback.

 

Thanks for the info. I went to the site but I did NOT see a download link for the Adobe Reader Lite. Any idea where I can d/l this from? Thanks.
