(Solved) ~ Adobe Reader not working in IE7 or Chrome
(15 posts)- Remove Solved Status
I have an idea -- dump Adobe Reader and get FoxIt Reader. I made the switch just recently and now I wonder why I put up with Adobe Reader for so long.
You could also try PFD XChange. Both are small and available in a portable version (no installer). FoxIt has a Firefox plugin, if that's your thing.
ScottW, It's funny, but I just got Foxit too and dumped Adobe Reader and wonder the same as you. Especially since Scott had suggested I switch about a year ago, but I never got to it with my "old" system.
Aleeve, Foxit is really nice and has a lot smaller footprint than Adobe - and maybe not all those constant updates that Adobe was bothering me with.
And even more odd is that I've just given up Foxit !
The Firefox plugin constantly crashed Firefox and sadly, Foxit is now getting bloated.
I've gone back to the future with Sumatra PDF which has a minuscule footprint in comparison to Foxit.
You should uninstall Adobe Reader with extreme prejudice!
The only caveat would be if you are in love with viewing document previews in the Preview Pane in Explorer. If that's your thing, see Sarah's post about keeping the preview:

Haha
I do get the general idea that Reader is hated in most places I look!
Nope - very rarely actually have pdf files downlaoded, I just use it as an online pdf file viewer - most frequently the bus timetables :P
Also, I think you mean 'discrimination'
Prejudice = An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.
Discrimination = Putting prejudice into practice
:D
@LH: Well that article you linked to would certainly explain this:
[ Should be video of Seattle, WA December 2008 bus crash with three buses but I couldn't find it ]
Aleeve, I knew that this "extreme prejudice" expression likely had an American origin, but I figured it would be fairly well known in the UK due to it's use in American movies and TV. I took a beat to wonder if there was a similar expression that was British and, though I have seen every Bond film made, I couldn't think of one. Any suggestions?
