Staying with Adobe would be preferable - but I've heard rumours they're going to start charging fees. |

I use Foxit. I use foxit too. No problems version 5.1 FoxitReader514.0104_enu_Setup.exe I looked at the newer version, but was turned off, but don't remember why. May have been additional crap they wanted to install. |

Adobe has been demanding, from what they deemed to be business customers, "fees" on a yearly or monthly basis depending on subscription level chosen. They get away with it via their "update" that replaces an old reliable freebie with a new freebie that demands a subscription else it will die. This has been going on for at least 3 months now. |

The W10 upgrade seems to include a PDF reader in the browser, but it is not in any way satisfactory. Usually I download stuff on the W10 machine, its reader is just about good enough to see whether the document is worth moving to my XP box for further study. Maybe I'll just put up with that, but sounds like if I need something better - Adobe is worth giving a miss. |

Downloaded from Tucows, the file I got is about 14Mb - is that the full redistributable install file? |
