Adobe Acrobat 7.0 for PDFs

Posted by

It's true; the seventh version of the Acrobat Reader is light years better than 6.0 in terms of speed and UI snappiness. PDF is PDC (pretty darn common), so having a good PDF viewer is essential. If you haven't already done so, go ahead and grab Acrobat Reader 7. I've got it installed alongside Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 and both are running without a problem (independent of one another, however – doesn't look like they can be run simultaneously). Took me all of two milliseconds to decide to make Acrobat Reader 7 my default PDF reader. Truly, putting 6 (and even 5) to shame. I wish they'd unleash Adobe Acrobat Elements to the mainstream – much like they have with Photoshop Elements and (unseen by myself) Premiere Elements. Perhaps it'll happen down the road – with a complete bundle / starter kit for beginner desktop publishers. Still not sold on the Adobe Photoshop Album product, though.
