Adobe Reader is the most popular program in the world for viewing,
creating, managing and manipulating PDF (Portable Document Format)
files. It is the standard that all other PDF readers are judged against.
Publically released in 1993, Adobe Reader was originally priced at $50
per user before Adobe separated its product range to offer Adobe Reader
freeware and their professional Adobe Acrobat versions. PDF became the
file format of choice for businesses thanks to its cross platform
flexibility and security capabilities.
Simple UI
Adobe Reader’s UI is simple and intuitive. Classic tools (text
selection, zoom, snapshots, find, etc.) can be accessed from the top
navigation menu and buttons. The latest version also includes advanced
Tools (create, export, send and store options), Sign and Comment
features. You can share iterations, comments and signatures by email or
using the Adobe SendNow service.
Security
Adobe Reader XI is the safest version Adobe have released. This is
mainly due the new Protected Mode which loads potentially hazardous
items and code in a sandboxed area, isolated from the rest of your
system.
Speed
There have been some criticisms over Adobe Reader’s speed compared to
other lightweight PDF readers. It’s true; Adobe Reader does have more
plugins and extensions than most PDF readers which can slow operation.
That being said the difference for the average user is negligible and
those add-ons can be disabled if they are not required. In terms of
general operation, Adobe Reader renders documents with high detail and
true colour reproduction quickly. Later editions have also had work done
to improve Adobe Reader’s impact on memory usage so you should find
multitasking takes less strain on your system.
