Adobe has desensitized me to updating their software, since every time I open Acrobat it asks me to download a new version. It's like the boy who cried wolf, but since this sounds serious maybe I'll get over this mental hurdle.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoActually, every time you open Acrobat it's had a new security issue. At least, it's that way for me (though Windows is not my primary OS, so I don't open Acrobat that often).
- Niten 16y agoEven if Windows is your primary OS, there's no reason for the typical user to have to run Adobe Reader on a regular basis. Just use a nice lightweight viewer like PDF-XChange, Sumatra, or Foxit instead. Windows is my primary OS, and I don't even have Adobe Reader installed.
- nitrogen 16y agoI've found Sumatra to render extremely slowly when zoomed in past 100%, particularly on PDFs with high-res images and/or vector images. Are the other non-Adobe readers better at this?
