I still prefer Foxit.  Get it HERE. (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/)

New version 2.2 now available free, and Vista compatible.

The download size of Foxit Reader is only 2.1 M which is a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.

It's all a matter of viewpoint, I guess.  ;)

It started out as 'Bishop', but I didn't want to be accused of bashing him.  ::)   :P

Bishop-bashing, Mo. This sounds like a new sport - tell me the rules. :)

Bashing your Bishop is a popular pastime, particularly among adolescents.  No rules as far as I know.  No holds barred!!  But over-indulging can cause blindness I believe.  :D

Before it gets subsumed, I'd like to also suggest using Foxit free pdf reader instead of the bloated Adobe equivalent.

Side-by-side, the difference in speed is actually quite astonishing when a pdf link is clicked.

The only caveat is that I currently use v2.0.2006.930 which is a standalone non-install version.

Personal view only, but unless you use pdf files to view intricate and/or technical graphic files, then there really isn't any point in installing Adobe Reader.

I just really hate bloatware.
