Well, it's been a long time coming, but I finally had enough of the stupidly long load times for Adobe Reader. Like a lot of people now, I use PDF's a lot for printing (via CutePDF) articles for later review, print shopping receipts for online transactions, passing documents via email rather than paper and so on and so forth. PDF's are handy!
When you just want to check something within a few seconds, waiting 10 seconds+ for Adobe to fire up is a more than bit of an annoyance, and as I have become more reliant on PDF's, I have become more annoyed.
So I finally took the plunge and decided to invest some time in finding a lightweight, free reader that can give me basic functionality (such as search, various views etc.) and load as quickly as possible. After about 10 minutes, I came across FoxIt Reader, its reputation preceded it on many forums, so I figured it would be worth a look.
Well it has a good reputation for a good reason, its great, it simple, its quick, its easy. That's what a document READER should be, nothing fancy, just a bit of kit to read documents and be good at it.
Well done to the guys at FoxIt, great job!
