Hi Mike,

I would suggest uninstalling all the Adobe junk and install Foxit
Reader.

Hi Bert -
thanks for the link. I did set my Soft Scan 3.0 PDF Converter software as a
default for now, and i do like it better than Adobe. It has afew glitches;
your print options do not include current page only or a specified page
range. I do like the coverter features - although it takes awhile to "warm
up. I think it is conflicting with another program at start up; maybe
remnants of adobe(?) I saved the link to foxit and i will use it if needed in
the future. thanks again! Happy 2006!
Mike

Hi,

Glad you like it. And yes, there are still some glitches, but no more
than Adobe Reader. <g>

Also, released is a new beta version of Foxit Reader Pro, which includes
a lot of new annotation features. Eventually we will merge Foxit Reader
Pro with Foxit Reader standard version, so, we recommend everyone to try
the new Pro version (including everything in Foxit Reader, and more.
