So this PDF could be considered a somewhat larger one, containing many pictures and weighing in at a total of 15 MB. Foxit handles the same document in a breeze. They just make the document look worse, not render faster.
Not even disabling the various smoothing and filtering options have a real effect. I'm on a bloody quad-core i7 processor and 32 gigabytes of RAM, so why is it not possible to scroll fluently through a PDF? Give the mouse scroll wheel a good spin, and it will take Adobe Reader ages to slowly step through the document. Or try to, thanks to the infuriatingly and inexplicably slow scrolling.
No such issues in Foxit Reader.įinally, the document is open. Nobody at Adobe ever bothered to fix or even acknowledge it. The bug has been known for years and years. This happens if a recently opened document was stored on a network path or external drive which is no longer available. I will base this review on one of the simplest tasks you could imagine wanting to do with a PDF file: opening and printing it.įirst, Adobe Reader almost always freezes for several seconds after opening a file. I don't know how they managed to make it worse, buggier, more unstable, more cumbersome to use, larger and slower with every new version, without ever fixing any of the bugs people have been reporting for often 10 years or longer. However, the state of affairs is particularly sad when it comes to the Acrobat Reader. Adobe is always good for examples of particulary bad software.
