The Software I Use – Foxit PDF Reader


Foxit Reader IconI hate Adobe Acrobat! It's slow to load, slow to open files, and even slower to close and go away.

The only thing it does quickly is crash Firefox!

The good news is that there's a solution, Foxit Reader from Foxit Software. Foxit is free, lightweight and portable. While you can certainly install it on your local PC you can also easily run it on a flash drive.

For PC installations you can simply download the installation .exe file and start it. If you want to run Foxit Reader from a USB drive you can simply download the .zip file and extract it to your USB drive.

    What is the ram you are working with on your system? That might be a reason why adobe is slow for you. It is a resource hog but I have never had problems with it slowing down my laptop with 4 gigs of ram.
