    Default Alternative to Adobe?

    Windoze/XP & Adobe Acrobat
    Acrobat seems very slow to me.
    Is there an alternative to Acrobat?

    Thx & 73,

    Foxit reader. Adobe is slow and bloated.

    http://www.foxitsoftware.com/

    The free version works just fine.

    Another vote for Foxit reader.
    And ditto on the Adobe comments.

    Foxit is a good basic PDF reader and I have used it. But it lacks a few features that Adobe has and I switched back.

    The trick with Adobe is going around the DLM and getting JUST the reader without the other crap - sooper turbo speed laucher and acrobat dot com, toolbars, etc. - which seem to be just resource hogs that do nothing useful. I'll allow a hook to load a file from the browser but what all that other stuff does I don't know.

    I agree with Mr Two fingers upstairs, Foxit is better than Adobe, takes up less space,
