    Nothing huge, I came across this bit of software when I was on www.cnet.com, and let me just say Foxit is by far the best PDF reader I've ever used. It's so extremely efficient and fast, not to mention its a much smaller program (5mb install vs. Adobe 80+mb).

    Give it a shot (no licensing of course, this is entirely free) and let me know what you guys think. Personally, this is now my preferred choice, I can't believe I've stuck with Adobe Reader for so long.

      To be honest I couldn't care less about PDF files, but I'll try it out anyway.

          Tried it. Instantly hate it because it lacks live scrolling. :P

            YES. I love this program. It's around 9 million times faster than Acrobat, and it can directly edit PDFs.

            The Set to Default Reader option seems a little wonky, though, as Acrobat will periodically hijack PDFs.
