Editor's review of Adobe Reader 7.0.8

• 5.0 stars

• "A must-have"

The latest updates to this indispensable product haven't introduced revolutionary changes, but they didn't need to. As the standard PDF reader, it simply keeps up with Acrobat Professional and Standard. Version 7 added the ability to play back embedded multimedia files in MP3, QuickTime, Macromedia Flash, Real, and Windows Media formats, as well as to submit Adobe PDF forms. The latest versions include performance enhancements for loading documents and zooming, and version 7.0.8 expands Adobe's connection with Yahoo by adding Yahoo Contextual Searching. You might as well install this now before a Web site you visit prompts you to download it, because you'll need it if you ever want to view a PDF file.

  "talk about fatware!"

  by CogentConsulting on July 14, 2006

  Cons: it gets bigger every version! What's up with that? It's a READER, not a composer.

  Try Foxit Reader instead!

  "Good Tool for Users"

  by John.Moore. on November 2, 2006

  Pros: While still very large, Reader loads exponentially faster than 6.0 did and--for my lean 184 mb memory laptop (Win2000)--it actually removes itself from memory when I close it down. Almost heaven!

  "A new free Acrobat Reader"

  by Jeffery Hopper on November 2, 2006

  Pros: New features in version 7 include improved search capabilities, an enhanced selection tool, and the ability to add/review comments and apply digital signatures. With Adobe Acrobat Reader I can also complete and submit PDF forms online, a handy tool as more and more companies begin to embrace the technology.

  "Talk about bloat"

  by nightmunki on October 24, 2006

  Pros: It does read PDF files

  Cons: Why is this program 16.4MB? When I had it installed it used up 60MB on my PC! What for!?!? I've never bothered to try to work out what use it's special functions are for the average PC user... all I know is that for opening PDF's, you should download a PDF Reader, not Adobe Reader. It is well known that with each new release of Adobe it gets fatter, slower, and persistantly bugs you to download more and more updates. Updates for what? Why? I use Foxit Reader. It is a 1MB download! You don't even have to install it. Foxit will open any PDF documents and allow you to view it very easily, with a nice clean interface, in a matter of seconds. Adobe can take minutes to load on slow machines, is full of bloat, uses way too much RAM, and is a massive download for what should be a small & simple program. It's a shame that PDF format has become Adobe format. Most people aren't aware that there are alternatives. I'd strongly recommend you uninstall this & get FoxIt Reader. MUCH better.
