Thanks for the tip... pdf vue is really slow though if i open a file more than a couple pages.. maybe it's my computer?

http://www.pdfescape.com seems to have a LOT more features and runs much better on my computer with large files... just my $.02

I like foxit viewer. I don't think it has the same annotation features, but I've never had the need for it. It's just a slim & fast PDF viewer.

Bottom line, the more Adobe crapware you can get off your system, the better. It's just like Norton or Apple software, or the old netscape browser- More like malware than useful applications.

Oh! if you like Foxit Reader you may like to check out Sumatra PDF Viewer is extremely fast, free and open source

When my trial period of Acrobat expires (I decided the price is not worth it for me!), I will give this a try. Thanks for the tip!
