Is it as dreadfully slow to boot-up as version 6 ? :horrified Are there any alternative "readers" that perform briskly and handle pdf files ? ;) Happy New Year I believe version 7 does load faster but still slow.

| 311007 | 2005-01-06 01:45:00 | Slightly off-topic - is version 7 any reason to upgrade from 5? I wouldn't say so. Upgrading to 6.0 was a mistake - bloat ++ and all the automagic updates, and features this, print servers that. |

| 311008 | 2005-01-06 03:43:00 | I'm still using Acrobat Reader 4.0, I went back to it after finding version 6.0 far too slow. | agent (30) | ||
| 311009 | 2005-01-06 04:13:00 | I've just done a 5-minute evaluation on an oldish (450mhz PIII with 384mb RAM) machine and it seems to me that Adobe Reader 7 is as fast as PDFReader, and it renders text and graphics better. In addition, in the document I was looking at, PDFReader did not use the correct font for some of the text - why I don't know and haven't tried to find out. It also may be (although I can't check this), that documents created with Acrobat 7 will not be readable by PDFReader, unless they are very quick on their toes about keeping up with Adobe. |

| 311010 | 2005-01-06 05:04:00 | system requirements i found from pdfzone for adobe 7: Acrobat 7 is no lightweight contender for your electronic documents and forms publishing needs. Here’s what you need under the hood--at minimum--to run it on Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, XP Home or Tablet PC Edition: * Intel Pentium-class processor * Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2; Windows XP Professional, XP Home, or Tablet PC Edition * 128 MB of RAM (256 MB recommended) * 385 MB of available hard-disk space; optional installation files cache (recommended) requires an additional 385 MB of available hard-disk space * Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 * 800 x 600 screen resolution * CD-ROM drive * Internet connection or phone call required for product activation |
