I can't believe that anyone still uses Adobe anymore...
I notice you can fill and save forms with Foxit now.

All the technology bloat that adobe provides only to find you can't use it till you buy a fee version. All you really want to do is look. For that Foxit Reader does that and more and the add ons allow you to modify PDF docs. It is great.

Does anyone encounter any problem when you try to copy texts in PDF sometimes in Foxit Reader? It only copy texts partially (missng out some words/characters) for some reasons. The PDF isn't locked at all.

I've been using Foxit for some time - it's much less piggy than Adobe.
Gotta keep things lean...off course saying that I think of the OS I'm using on this notebook...

I dont see why adobe reader needs to be 82mb plus.
