I personally don’t find the last developments of the Adobe Acrobat Reader (now v7.0) very interesting: a huge package to download (hey guys, it is a *reader*) – about 27 MB for WindowsXP, a huge memory footprint and a quite bad performance. Adobe solved a part of the issue by….uploading automatically the whole application in the memory at the start of Windows. Great…..

Since about one month now, I am testing a promising alternative to the Acrobat Reader: Foxit PDF Reader, realized by FOXIT Software. It is free (for non-commercial use), *very* fast, very small memory footprint and great performance. Just a .exe to place somewhere on your disk (2.4 MB) and …let’s go!

Worth a try!
