311012 2005-01-06 09:18:00 system requirements i found from pdfzone for adobe 7:

[i]Acrobat 7 is no lightweight contender for your electronic documents and forms publishing needs.
But is that talking about Acrobat 7 - the full PDF creation product, or what is being discussed here - Acrobat Reader 7 - which is a totally different beast?

311013 2005-01-06 09:50:00 Thank you, people
Er, um aah yes, I was actually referring to READER, but there may have been some who were interested in the whole damn shebang program, but I HAVE to use the reader for economic reports and it v.7 is just so damn slow I loathe to use it

Maybe I should just dig out and old cover cd and reinstall an early version.

At the office that would be a simple work around without going near the policy against non-main-brand product and no modifications such as PDF Speedup would entail.

311014 2005-01-06 10:04:00 I'd personally suggest you grab version 4.x from oldversion.com (oldversion.com) - it's got all the normal features you could possibly want for everyday use, but without the bloat. agent (30)
311015 2005-01-06 10:23:00 Just be aware that some PDF documents may not open in an older reader version. I've struck this at work where we have version 5.1 as default, and had to install 6.0 in order to view the document. Jen (38)

Pfft. Who needs the newer features anyway? Anyone producing PDF documents that aren't backwards compatible should be flogged. :p
