• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Any recommendation for a PDF viewer besides the one from Adobe? I downloaded the Adobe installer and it wants to install about ten other programs, from AVG Toolbar (no) to something called Webcake which, they say will "sweeten my browsing experience" (yeah, right, no thanks) and I don't remember the names of all the other stuff. It's unbelievable. I just want a pdf viewer.
 
Just uncheck the unwanted....

Click to expand...

I got Adobe... and it works fine... just uncheck whatever it wants to "sell" and it will download just the PDF reader or whatever...
It is very sneaky... nowadays most "free" programs carry a bunch of crap... that, if you don't pay attention and read each menu that comes up during the download, will "enrich" your surfing experience....:isadizzy::pop4:
Like the Bing bar, etc.
or, after the download... you can go to the control panel and dump whatever it installed with the reader...
