    "It actually works!"

    August 3, 2012  |   By burdebc

    Pros

    It opens PDF files and doesn't crash within 10 seconds like Adobe does.

    Cons

    You have to worry about the toolbar installations and the crap with ask. For people who don't understand computers and let installers do as they wish this program may cause them problems, but no issue for those who pay attention to what their computer is doing.

    Summary

    I used Adobe forever, not really thinking that there was a better option out there. When Adobe started crashing moments after opening for every PDF file I tried to open I searched for another option, and this program opens PDFs which is what I expect out of a PDF reader. I will now be getting rid of Adobe.
