Version: Adobe Reader 9
"This time, I have to agree with the editors review."
Pros: I've used Adobe Reader for so long I can't remember when I didn't. This new version, like the older is big @ 202 MB installed but it's well worth it if you have the space. It loads faster & the new flash support makes it stand out above the other free ones in this class. It also seems to be very good on my Vista Ultimate system. No matter how many free alternatives I try, I always come back to Adobe Reader.
Cons: I'd like to see a toolbar for IE, like with Acrobat. Other then that & it's 202 MB size, I have no complaints. It does what I need a PDF Reader program to do better then other free options & I've tried many..

"Why Bother, way too slow with too many Mega Bites."
Pros: I use Adobe Reader 6 for a long time from Windows 98 to my now Windows XP. I didn't really try to search to see if there was anything else. Adobe is fine if you like a extremely slow upload the fact that it will eat up your memory with way too many mega bites. Adobe Reader 6 has 99.52 mb. Adobe 9 says 33.5 mb but you'll probably have three times as much on your computer.
Cons: I found something better after reading W Macaulay's comment on Foxit Reader. I downloaded Foxit Reader 2.3. So far so good it performs fast just like this person commented on say it performs. Thanks so much.

Version: Adobe Reader 9
Pros: Adobe Reader has all the bells and whistles for those who make use of _all_ of full-blown Acrobat's authoring capabilities.
Cons: Adobe Reader has mushroomed into a beast of a program, with plug-ins and extensions without end. Loading is slow, and viewing is slower than it used to be. Foxit Reader is a much smaller PDF viewer with tabbed browsing and faster display performance. I would highly recommend it over Reader.
