As if we didn't know that. I go on this hacking forum and all i see there is Adobe exploit, lol it's so vulnerable. So many zero-day exploits.

Foxit is much better.

May be it is a time for a change, gonna try out Foxit soon

[saturn]

I didn't know about it.Then again I don't be on those forums I'll definitely take a look at Foxit.

Adobe Reader is a BIG Bloatware. I would recommend either Foxit Reader or Sumatra PDF over Adobe Reader to normal Users.

I would love to switch to an alternative PDFreader, but the problem is that I use indexed text files which Adobe Reader can handle, but PDFreaders as Foxit not (at least I have not found one yet). As you cannot two two different PDFreaders active at the same time I am forced to stick with Adobe, alas.

I've been able to run Foxit with Adobe, Kees, with no programs.

and I use Adobe Reader Lite, with it forbidden to access the internet. That means if anyone has an exploit in a file, it can come in, but you can't get the info back since it's not going out

Definitely. I have not installed Adobe Reader for years already ever since I found out about Foxit.

Yes i also change to Foxit for 2 years . That's good tool!
