I prefer FoxIT PDF Reader

I prefer FoxIT PDF Reader it's like hmm less than 10 meg ? (installed!) loads in a second unlike crapobe

light?

what is light about 63mb?? foxit or sumatra do a perfect job and they are standalone also..

Yeah

But as the author described and I had also experienced myself these light-weight PDF readers have some issues rendering and correctly printing some PDF's.

It works fine for me

great

thank you so much for getting rid of the excess bagage :)

BUG!

Great program! One point of note tho, this program does not not work correctly with the pdf preview handler on 64 bit systems with the reg fix applied. You will need to install foxit preview handler to get it to work!!

Nice

Like this program.
