Adobe Acrobat Vs Foxit

Hey it's me · 01-15-2008, 08:45 PM

I was wondering what you guys all thought about the diff between Adobe Acrobat reader vs Foxit reader. Tech geeks out there are saying Foxit is better because Acrobat is bloated. I agree. I mean 67mb vs like 2mb's??? I'm going to give a try. what do you guys think and know?

Adobe is bloated, I use Foxit and it is fast but it suits my needs only and that is for reading PDF's. Maybe Adobe has more going for it if you need to use it to it's full extent but for the casual user Foxit does the job.

Started using foxit recently after seeing it mentioned on this forum. It's a lot quicker and I've not had any issues with it.

Acrobat is extremely powerful when it comes to managin pdf.
i don't like foxit, it has issues when you print (to pdf) 50+ pages , it crashes.
