    "Bloat-tastic!"

    January 29, 2012  |   By WonderWoofy

    Pros

    If you dislike free space on your hard drive, this is the solution for you!!!

    Cons

    >400MB!?!?!? To view a pdf... Although that is with the plug-in. It is ~225MB for the actual application... sooo ~200MB for a plug-in!?!?!? What in gods name do they put in there?

    Summary

    If you are using a Mac, and you don't need 3D pdf support... move along. This is just more horrible free proprietary software from Adobe. It is unfortunate that 99.9% of people think they need this and Flash.
