Adobe Reader X

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.

    "Crash with a little more crash added for good measure"

    April 25, 2012  |   By ZEUS_GB

    Version: Adobe Reader X 10.1.3

    Pros

    Smooth interface and installation is reasonable quick

    Cons

    This thing crashes like I don't know what.

    I've had crashes while scrolling through PDFs and even while trying to open PDF files. It happened so often I had to uninstall and go back to version 9.

    Summary

    In my opinion Adobe should be embarrassed by this version. It has far worse stability than version 6 had and that's saying something!

    Stick with version 8 or 9 until Adobe fix this thing!

    "1/2 star is far too many"

    April 19, 2012  |   By gedmage

    Version: Adobe Reader X 10.1.3

    Pros

    Program is OK, if you are into sadism

    Cons

    57% freezes (as above). Everything slows or will not work at all. Program was so bad I had to uninstall it and go find Adobe 8, which works just fine.
    Have no idea what these people were thinking. Did they let ANYONE who did not work at Adobe try this before they released it?

    Summary

    Discard this POS and go get release 8 (or something else).
