Adobe Reader Lite is a bloat-free version of the PDF viewer, Adobe Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader is free, and freely distributable, software that lets you view and print Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
Yes
- Removed PDF Shell integration
- Disabled "Create PDF using Acrobat.com" also in the embedded reader in browser (thanks to cybpsych for finding the registry key for that)
- Disabled "Check for updates" by default

Adobe has a "Lite" version on its public FTP (no AIR/Acrobat.com)... "AdbeRdr910_en_US.exe"
this is somewhat unnecessary. the other features like disabled update checking are nice, though you can make your own customized Reader installs using Adobe's own Adobe Customization Wizard which adds an mst file and custom setup.ini to the install files and lets you change everything down to removing individual files and registry entries that the installer creates.

Aegis69, pay attention some time...
it's not from Adobe...
it's an unofficial "liter" version. Adobe Reader ain't lite anyway.
Foxit reader is not always 100% compatible with advnaced pdf features like interactive forms and application-launching, embedded links. for Joe PC user it might be fine for businesses Reader is an absolute must. 9.x is a LOT faster than 8 and is close to the speed of Foxit even with the "speedlauncher" disabled.
