Adobe Reader Enterprise Edition

[Nowhere]

I'm sure many of you have noticed that latest, 7.0, version of Adobe Reader is tremendously faster in startup times...but it still has some things I don't like.
Enter Enterpise Edition, without Yahoo Toolbar, to start

I noticed it was fast too, but i attributed that to my fast, new hardware (mainly my 10K Raptor drive).

Nope, it's very fast also on quite low-end today 80GB Barracuda 7200.7 with 2MB of cache (and other things in this league...XP 1700+ and 256MB of RAM for example)

Newer version of Adobe have a startup program ... uh ... Adobe Quickstart, or something like that, which starts with the computer. It loads a bunch of crap at startup, so when you launch a PDF it pops up faster. So you lose time at boot and system resources, but gain time when Adobe Reader starts.

I turned it off. It's still much faster (did soe lenghty "startup time optimisation" during install...)

Foxit is still plenty fast for me.

It's fast, but it doesn't print for me.

[Marshmallowman]

It's a great little program for .pdf files. If you try it, I doubt that you'll ever use Acrobat Reader again.

I used to feel that way. Foxit is great, but it can't print the damn documents. Reader7 is much faster than 6. Slower than Foxit, but not by too much. Reader also has a much better document search, and can print, so it's my default now.
