"there are a bunch of things that are only implemented in Adobe Reader"
this is actually accurate (for ex how many know that the reader has a Javascript execution engine integrated into it?) - when people say that there are other free 'alternatives' anyway, most miss out on this fact. Like you mentioned, good alternatives cover 95% of the use-cases, so almost no one discovers this by hitting a wall.

- abhgh 12y agoWhy? I would be interested to know. My point is that (1) it has its uses (2) there are acrobat features that non-adobe readers don't support.
- readme 12y agoI abhor PDFs with embedded media etc. And I have to use them. :(
