What else instead of Adobe Acrobat for PDF's

thedoc46 · 17 Dec 2012 at 21:02

I'm having a problem with Adobe Acrobat X and Sharepoint thanks to a new feature of Acrobat wanting to check-in and out files when accessed over an intranet.

What other corporate solutions are there for just reading a published PDF on an intranet?

Thanks

PDF-XChange,

only concern is the above mentioned program trying to install the Ask toolbar.

In spite of the Ask toolbar issue, it's a good viewer as you can manually uninstall the ask toolbar afterwards

Trying ? or does it give you an option?

Cos Adobe tries to trick you into installing McAfee if I'm not mistaken.

Foxit?

Foxit

Sumatra PDF as well...

Another vote for Foxit.

Foxit, used it for years.
Adobe reader is pure bloatware!

This is what I use

No BS, it just works.

Foxit has too much junk and pointless features that I'll never use.

Sumatra is nice and sleek. The website looks criminal, but the program itself is exactly what you need.

Nice !!! Like the location BTW... I'm up there a few times a yr. Love Monterey. I actually live in FL, but fly back and forth over to the Pacific Coast. Go there every yr for the GP. What took you there?

Do you just need a reader, or editor as well? For editing I use NitroPDF

Sumatra is what I moved onto from Foxit too. It's what Foxit used to be.

Sumatra

Just be aware that Sumatra wouldn't open PDF's inside the browser

(Windows8 Firefox)

I live in the UK, have never been to Laguna Seca, I just love the race track on Gran Turismo

Would love to do this!

It downloads them and opens them in the program instead. I prefer this method, less likely to crash or stall your browser if it's a big PDF.

+1 its an option I use for Foxit.

Foxit has, unfortunately, become bloaty and has *terrible* font rendering - so if your documents are of a technical or design/proofing nature, I'd avoid it.
