Okay, not sure if you notice or not bout Adobe Acrobat Reader is one of the biggest overbloaded pieces of software out there.  I'm VERY happy to say that I've made the switch, and encourage you all to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader and install this instead.  It's also free (open source), uses FAR less memory/RAM and loads PDF's like a summabish, much faster than Adobe could.  Plus, it's not bloated.

Note:  If you're using Adobe Writer, you need to get your paws on Foxit Creator... and it's AFFORDABLE!  Adobe's Writer can run you $99 for the upgrade and $299 for the full installation..  Foxit Creator?  Anywhere from $20 (100+ user licenses) to $35.  Oh SNAP!

It's virii free, no nagware.  It's the REAL DEAL.  Get it while it's hot!

Just loaded it. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. Does it open PDF file automatically like AA?

You'll have to tell it to remember your decision the first time you use it.  After that, you're set.  Just remember to update it regularly.

How do I do that. I tried to set it as the default reader and it gives me a window that says:
  To reset the default PDF reader to other reader, you need to run the other reader, and set the default PDF reader over there.

WTH
