Bey bey Adobe reader

Scott Hanselman has put me up for FoxitReader witch is a free PDF reader, but i forgot the link and therefore forgot about Foxit. I came across the name yesterday and thought: Oh yeah, i wanted to look into that....

Yesterday (late...) I did and it's "Bey bey acrobat!!". Man this tool is fast, has a small footprint and does not install any crap. So it seems i can stop installing Acrobat 5.1 (because that version does not install the 50.000 fonts to display my billing sheet) and i can stop clicking the Skip Update button at startup.

If you have not seen it: Check it out at: http://foxitsoftware.com/

Scott, Thankx a lot !!

Insanely handy! I'd put it next to Irfanview in the top of my favorite tools list, if I had one.

lol @ m2xdam :)

How about Winsnap, ACDSee (the early versions) and ZoomIt!? Most excellent tools that come to my mind. Also Refactor Pro! is great. And Media Player Classic, a killer!

Right :) ACDSee was favorable in the early days, but it sure went to the dark side. And indeed, Media Player Classic in combination with Real Alternative to avoid Real Player realy made my day.

That's why I still use ACDSee 3.1

Lightning fast and can still handle every format.

I've tried irfanview in the past, but wasn't really content with it. Perhaps you have some arguments to switch!? :)

Thankx Dennis... As my undertitle states: leave elegance to the tailor. :-)

Older versions are sometimes way faster than the newer versions. If only we could turn off the automatic update features :-)

Your undertitle? Is that Belgium for subtitle?! ;-)

And perhaps you should select a different skin, so the subtitle will be presented a little more subtle so people will notice it better! :)
