Anyway, back on top...

When comparing the two, it's obvious how much bloat there is in Adobe Reader (Adobe's ~50MB vs. Foxit's <4MB) and Foxit will do pretty much everything most people need when it comes to PDFs (aside from editing, which Adobe Reader won't do either).

Sorry for this post. I thought my comments added a small amount of humor.

But no humor was seen.

I hope ImnoGuru is up and running.

p.s.  ImnoGuru,  pdf is separate Adobe  product and is not part of Windows office.

I don't have investments with Adobe.

Then why state that you do ? ?

Are you just looking to argue ? ?

The numbers stated by Quaxo back up the premise that Adobe is bloat...period.
If you disagree please post facts to backup your assumptions...
Otherwise don't start a pissing contest just because you disagree.

Patio,

I have removed my offending posts. 

It is difficult for me to convey "a tongue in the cheek remark."

I will not direct any further posts to you.  I will try my best to avoid any comment about the information in your posts.

    Me too. Just so long as I can read my docs, I dont give a '..  :D

    By todays standards though isnt 50 MB against 4 MB just a little inconsequential?
    Given that computers come out from manufacturers now with hard drives of 1 Terabyte or so.

    Crickey my DVD recorder has a 250 Gig drive.


    Just a distraction

    Thought you might be interested
    The VW and Merc debate...(analogy)  there's a car called Veyron (I think it is), supposed to be really quick, super safe and so on.
    I'll have a peek see if I can find something for you.
    Its a VW.  I found this.

    I don't think I'll be able to afford this VW. ;)

    That doesn't make it ok for the programmers to be lazy. Besides, the RAM requirements are far different- and just compare their startup times!

    lazy programs = lazy products/ Lazy products = less $$ or wasted time (if product intended to hit freeware market)

      Yes BC_Programmer, I agree that they shouldn't just fudge it up for the sake of filling gaps on paper.( or a screen as the case may be.)

      2x3i5x especially if it's for the freeware market. They are wasting their own time too if that's the case.

        neelchauhan, this topic is 7 months old.  Why are you resurrecting it?

        Anyway, the topic title is somewhat misleading. What the OP  wanted was a way to open and read PDF, not create them. CutePDF creates PDF's; it is not a PDF reader.
