Favorable Review
The best free software application I ever installed

Bottom-Line: The of the program's ability to edit Adobe Professional generated forms is reason enough to upgrade to the newest version of what still is a free download from Adobe.

I love Adobe Acrobat; the Reader and the Professional program(s).  The document collaboration software has made my life easier...

the free version is great to view pdf files. adobe really sets the standard in this field.  but the program is slow on any computer that isnt top of the line.  also a con is that they bundle it with all sorts of software that you will never use.  almost everything from adobe has a few extra processes... read full review »

Sorry Old Adobe, I'm Leaving You for a Younger Version.

This reader is like driving a good car. It is so smooth and effortless. The last version I had got stuck as I tried to use it and the Internet. Also, when trying to find a word on the document, instead of constantly pulling Find from the Edit Menu, there is a search box on top. It has a better look with more colors and a sleeker design. As a freelance writer, I constantly get PDF files whether it's through writer guidelines or job contracts. I may also use the files for research. Thanks to the latest version, I can quickly do my job without the computer getting stuck and having to start all over...

I like the new feel of the Adobe Acrobat Reader FREE version. The interface looks smooth with easier navigation. I'm a small business owner, and I open pdf files on a daily basis. I use Acrobat  everyday. I wonder why any other company would create a pdf reader to compete with the Acrobat Reader. Adobe seems to have a monopoly on this market.

The adobe free upgrades are also a pretty nice deal. Easy use. Makes business a breeze. One of the very first experiences I had with Adobe products was the Adobe Photoshop many years ago  which is also a great online/offline editor. Adobe offers alot of great tools for pc users. Enjoy!

My computer's pretty ancient (read: 2 years old) - so was a little apprehensive installing the new update - but was surprised to see adobe reader gel well with the rest of the system - no longer have trouble opening pdfs inside browser windows - smooth scrolling, no more hangs!

I rarely use Reader, now that Apple's built-in Preview application is so quick and has so many features.
