Free PDF reader: stop those browser crashes
by Jen (October 15, 2006)
I hate reading PDFs in my browser because it usually freezes until the whole thing downloads and is just a miserable experience in general, so I save the pdf file to read in a stand-alone application. Acrobat reader generally sucks — when it takes longer to launch the application than it does to read the PDF, you know there’s a problem — so I am now using an alternative called Foxit Reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php). It’s small, it launches very quickly, and it lets me do what I need to do — read the freaking document.
Oh, and it’s free!
