Adobe developed the Portable Document Format to standardize electronic document handling. Despite competition from simpler tools, Reader remains the standard the others are judged against. We looked at the latest version of Reader, Adobe Reader X. Reader X's familiar interface opens with a quick-start file manager from which we could open a recent file or log in to an existing Adobe Online account. Reader rendered each document with high detail and faithful color reproduction. Clicking the Sign icon on Reader's toolbar let us digitally sign documents by adding text or attaching a signature via a wizard. We could also Print our document or e-mail it as an attachment or via Adobe SendNow. We could highlight text, add Sticky Notes, take a Snapshot, and attach Comments. Reader adobe reader update free some extras that stripped-down competitors can't match, such as its Read Out Loud tool, which can read documents to you if you have sound capability. A Tracker tool monitors updates to Reviews and Forms. Under the Edit menu, entries labeled Protection, Analysis, and Accessibility let us manage security settings, check document accessibility, and analyze data using the Object Data Tool and Geospatial Location Tool. Reader doesn't lack support, either, starting with the sort of extensive Help file you'd expect from an Adobe product. Clicking Tools toggles open the online extras. Lighter, simpler tools are available, but Adobe's free reader remains the one to beat. Do not install this software. Summary Computer decided to update to this new software version. Had to uninstall this am due to inability to save a document I received without starting a paid account. I want to be able to open and save a document. Going back to Version 11 if possible. I have a ton of work to do today and this has put me behind 2 hours already as I have to save a legal document before I can continue. I created an account specifically for this. User functions are an absolute minimum. Absolutely peice of sht program. Summary I would love if this company went out of business. This version does not even deserve one star. Best solution I found on the various forums was to change the security setting in the Adobe Reader preferences. But how can I do that when the program doesn't even open. Summary I'm tired of wasting my time troubleshooting something that should be no trouble at all. Cons Primitive looking and missing features adobe reader update free earlier versions. Summary Doesn't get my vote. I'll use my Nuance for more capabilities. In both cases Adobe Reader then refused to either print the completed forms or save them. I actually had to fill out both of them by hand, and then scan them so I would have a permanent recordthus wasting even more of my time. Summary My experience with Adobe Flash player as well as Reader, and Adobe Acrobat is that it takes very little pride in the adobe reader update free of its products. Cons Crashes, all the cons of the other reviewers. Adobe is probably working on fixing it. Cons This is the most unstable piece of software on my computer right now - it crashes frequently so saving is more important than ever. It always directs you to save to the cloud first and doesn't remember your saving preferences. Viewing preferences are also not saved so I have to close side panels and navigation panels each time I open a document - very annoying. Summary I've lost all sorts of data due to crashes which is lowering my productivity. Seems to start up rather quickly Cons It is very, very ,very bloated. As large as 3D video games were in the late '90s, early 2000s. Has processes running in the background to quick start the program because it is so large. As big as, say the video games Half-life 1 + Opposing force + Blue Shift. I can do the same thing with Fox-it Reader 2. Or have these features as plugins, so during the installation process, users can choose what features they want, and which they don't.
