Which is best to download .pdf?

RockmanForte · April 12th, 2008

I know about Adobe but i dont like it. What about Foxit Reader??

Phil · April 12th, 2008

adobe is the best, imo
i havent looked that much into foxit..

NamesSolidSnake · April 12th, 2008

What's wrong with Adobe? I never had any problems with it...

RockmanForte · April 12th, 2008

Thanks but I dont think adobe is the best to my opinion. Nothing's wrong with that. I didn't say that. I just don't like it. Thanks for your reply. Anybody else ?

cottonvibes · April 12th, 2008

i think adobe made-up the .pdf file, so it should be the best program to use it...

i don't like them cuz you can't edit them, but at least the program works...

Care to explain why you don't like it? I think it's a very good program and in fact, actually it is best program for pdf files because, like cottonvibes said, the format was created by Adobe, which means that it will always support every feature flawlessly because Adobe made the format and software to support it, while the other programs made to support pdf files may not. But if you insist on trying to find something better, good luck.

Not with the Adobe Reader but you can with Adobe Acrobat. If it's password protected, just use the VeryPDF PDF Password Remover to be able to edit them. Works like a charm for me.

thanks for the info :O

Duh, I have that problem just now: I want to modify some pictures on a .pdf (wich is actually only made of scans) so I've tried with 'illustrator' but it won't let me do a thing.
Strangely the .pdf doesn't seem to be protected...
Wtf ?

TheCloudOfSmoke · April 12th, 2008

Send the pdf to me in a PM and I'll see if I can figure it out. I usually don't have a problem importing pdfs into Illustrator (I do that to steal vector logos from pdfs

) and I would be interested to see why it won't work.

Adobe Acrobat costs plenty $$....I think on my of german demo+full version discs may have had an old version on it though...I should reinstall it.

You can't modify a PDF while without it...that's just the way the format is designed....

And rockman...downloading has nothing to do with viewing....

dreampeppers99 · April 13th, 2008

I guess the adobe is better... however the FoxIt is faster (mainly to load a big document with many pages)... I use the FoxIt (I just read, and to read FoxIt is better)
My personal opinion.

Exodus · April 13th, 2008

I hate adobe reader (I haven't successfully found an alternative though). The default reader for the mac is quite nice though.

RockmanForte · April 13th, 2008

TheCloudofSmoke,

I think i will get Foxit Reader but thanks for reply as well.

Schumi,

I didnt say about downloading and the viewing. Adode loads big document slower and Foxit loads it much faster from what I was told.

imlost · April 13th, 2008

^Your thread title did say "Which is best to download .pdf?," so that is why Schumi posted that comment.

RockmanForte · April 13th, 2008

Oh yeah.. Sorry about that.

I find this Foxit Reader the best.

RedLion · April 13th, 2008

I agree with you Rockmanforte: open documents more faster than acrobat reader, take less place on the hard drive (130 Mb for adobe an 4Mb for foxit!).Well Foxit got my preference too.

NamesSolidSnake · April 13th, 2008

Wow, never realized Adobe used 130mb
