      Hi! Ed,              On 10/15/2014 01:53 PM, you wrote:               EV> I have been using the FOXIT PDF Reader for some time now and liked it        EV> until this last Update.       [ ...trimmed... ]        EV> Are their any other Free PDF Readers than the three I've tried already?              I asked a similar question over here in a local echo, Ed. Basically because I       was disgusted with the long start up time for Foxit, seeming to take longer &       longer to start every time I went to use it. (This is in my wife's XP-Home       VirtualBox, BTW.) Even when it was loaded, the user experience was like       moving & navigating in a fishbowl, with an awkward menu presentation. It got       so bad that I was moving PDFs to a LAN share & using some sort of unnamed       Linux PDF viewer to read the file(s), just to simply peek into them.              Well, one of the blokes over here clued me into a neat _little_ viewer called       something like PDFXViewer or PDF Xchange viewer, by an outfit called       (unfortunately-named...) Tracker Software. It's installed at 31Mb! It loads       up in a jiffy, and feels great.              Try it. Of course, be careful with any additional 'overhead' software they       may include... I can't recall what happened but I develop a nasty shoulder       twitch whenever I download & install stuff in Windows these days, taking       particular care with all the 'wizard'-like prompts, and I forget whatever       hoops & hurdles I had to dodge with that one. I hope you like it too.              Cheers,       Paul.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.6.0        * Origin: Paul's Puppy 4.2.1 multiuser vBox - M'boro, Qld, OZ (3:640/1384)    |
