adobe reader alternative
.rm Alternative .mov alternative... PDF Alternative?
Real Alternative and QuickTime alternative Rock. Could there really be a PDF alternative? It would make life so much Easier for those horridly slow oppening ebooks.
FOXIT!
I'm absolutely convince that Foxit Reader is much much BETTER than disgusting ADOBE Reader.
Not only is it just way faster loading, you have to understand that ADOBE when opening it's stupid ADOBE Reader launches several application. One tries to connect to the ADOBE website to look for updates and the others are something like "ADOBECLEANUP.001" that stays in the computer ram forever long, because adobe, sucks arse. It's horrid slow. Version 7 of the adobe reader is supposed to something like 20% faster, but again it opens multiple applications and sucks.
If you're using it with internet explorer or firefox the adobe plugin, when you open a PDF, will eat more memory during the remainder of the time firefox is open, and won't be unloaded until you close and restart the program.
Couple that with the firefox memory leaks from people having massive lists of extensions and it's just another hassle. One extension even prompts you, asking if you'd like to open it, knowing adobe's notoriety of lacking the uck out of your computer when accidently not noticing the file you want to open is a PDF.
My Recommendation
Uninstall ADOBE Reader and it's MESS it has in the registry. Some junk will still remain, well a lot of junk will, in the registry so you'll manually have to use regedit to search for entries.
Install fox it instead (link above). Once you open a pdf it will quickly load in an exterenal program (not your browser), and leave your browser being what it should be, a friggin browser. Opening files is incredibly fast with fox it. Screw you, Dick Cheney.
Happy PDF'ing
Search google for your choice of keyword plus "filetype:pdf". Enjoy the awesome efficiency in comparison to the evil that was before.
