Adobe Acrobat Reader (32-bit)

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on November 18, 2008

The new version of this indispensable product doesn't introduce revolutionary changes, but it doesn't have to. As the low-end PDF reader, it simply keeps up with Acrobat Professional and Standard. This release adds the ability to play back embedded multimedia files in MP3, QuickTime, Macromedia Flash, Real, and Windows Media formats, as well as to submit Adobe PDF forms. It also replaces some of the icons in the default interface with optional, dockable toolbars. You might as well install this now before a Web site you visit prompts you to download it, because you'll need it.

Publisher's Description

From Adobe Systems:

The Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view, navigate, browse, and print portable document format (PDF) files that have been created by Adobe Acrobat. It also enables you to fill in visually rich, interactive PDF forms. An ActiveX control for Internet Explorer and a plug-in for Netscape Navigator are included and automatically installed in the browser of your choice.

This latest version includes a host of new features, such as the ability to save copies of files downloaded in Web browsers; drag-and-drop toolbar icons, dynamic thumbnails generation, and other usability improvements; improved access to Web-hosted applications and online services; support for Adobe Illustrator 9.0 graphics that contain transparency; compatibility with previous versions of Acrobat Reader; better display of text on LCD screens using Adobe CoolType technology; and more. Plus, you can download Asian font packs that enable you to view Adobe PDF files that contain Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts on nonnative systems using Acrobat Reader 5.0. For a complete listing of updates, please visit the developer's What's New page.

Acrobat is a must-have for checking out elaborate documentation online. You can use it in your home or office to save paper and print out forms from the Web.

Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader's Web Buy feature, which allows you to purchase PDF files through online distributors, may transmit information about your computer to these third-party distributors. This information may include your internal computer ID, your storage device ID, and in certain circumstances, your logon name. You will be warned if additional information is required and may abort the transaction before any information is transmitted. As with any online transaction, your initial connection to the content provider's server may not be secure, and this information could be sent unencrypted over the Internet. This process does not occur when viewing normal, nonencrypted PDF files.

    "SNAFU: Adobe Strikes Again!"

    May 10, 2011  |   By BuddyS

    Version: Adobe Acrobat Reader (32-bit) 5.0.5

    Pros

    There are alternatives to Adobe I can check out! Foxit Reader Portable

    Cons

    Displayed fonts do not print properly.
    There is no Update option under Help.

    Summary

    Once again Adobe wastes my time uninstalling a working version, installing this junk only to discover it doesn't work, and now I have to uninstall v.X and reinstall v.9 on all my client's computers -- IF I can still find a v.9 deployment file. My client should send Abobe the bill for all my time.

    "The Worst - with no equal"

    April 25, 2011  |   By eam999

    Version: Adobe Acrobat Reader (32-bit) 5.0.5

    Pros

    None. Zero, Zilch.

    Cons

    Everything!

    Summary

    I've never written any sort of software review. I'm an end-user, and a finance guy. I CAN say, unequivocally, that I have NEVER had to endure as much grief and frustration as I have with the last few versions of Acrobat. I've worked with various systems for 15+ years now. NOTHING freezes, locks, and interrupts other programs quite like this pathetic attempt at software. Words can't adequately describe my burning hatred for this program and its "designers".
