Story: Google Pack fails to impress
Posted by: Justin Dover (Wednesday 11 January 2006, 7:39 PM)
Foxit Reader is far superior to Adobe's Acrobat. Why did Google choose to add one of the most bloated and performance lacking pieces of software available? It's truly beyond me. For those of you not familiar with Foxit Reader, it is a small, fast and clean .PDF reader that is available for download here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/foxitreader/foxitreader.zip
No longer is there a wait time to view .PDF files if you don't already have an instance of your reader open. Ever since installing this software, I'm able to view 25Mb+ .PDFs in fractions of a second. Take my recommendation and download this application. Completely remove any sign of Acrobat, and you will be extremely satisfied and never look back. Foxit doesn't even require and install, simply run the .exe from the .zip and you're good to go!
