Adobe Acrobat PDF Viewer is Bloatware
AJ Jorge July 6th, 2008
That’s the consensus in the interwebs these days. Version 9.0 is already out and it is a staggering 33mb download compared to version 8.0′s 22mb download. Acrobat’s installer is just getting heavier and heavier.
I’ve been using FoxIt reader even before version9.0 went out. It’s a very decent alternate for mighty Adobe. Light and compact. It gets the job done and no useless crap installed within it.
FoxIt, please put a ‘refresh’/'reload’ shortcut! When I’m editing using pdflatex I’d like to be able to see the output right off, and not have to close the PDF file and reopen. That’s all I ask!
