It gets the job done, but I'm simply stunned at how large and resource intensive this application has become. I don't want all that fancy collaborative editing stuff in a reader. I don't want multimedia elements and don't want code and application execution to be features of a reader. All I want is a PASSIVE, read-only type of application. One that cannot interact with any other aspect of my operating environment. So something like Sumatra PDF tends to be more to my liking, and it's barely over 1 meg in size. However, if you need the advanced features included in the Adobe Reader, I would expect you would be glad that this version, no matter how large, is available. It would be nice if Adobe would release a much more basic, reader-only version, but I need to focus on rating the product that is presented here. I feel a rating of 3 is fair given the balance of features vs bloat. I am glad it is free, because I don't think I'd want to ever have to pay for it.

Note that this installer, AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe, includes Adobe Air and a beta version of acrobat.com, a web-based limited version of Adobe Acrobat that runs browser-less using Air. A smaller installer, AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe without these two extra apps, is available from Adobe's FTP website at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu Both acrobat.com and Adobe Air can be removed using Add/Remove Programs on XP, or the equivalent on Vista.

To "slim down" the size on the disk, just delete the setup files the installer puts in the "Setup Files" subfolder. No wonder that its so huge after installation.

blah blah, if you aren't going to actually provide a "Review", then just don't post at all. Just putting that you prefer something else, is NOT a review. Been waiting for v9.0, glad it's finally out. Install was easy, works as advertised! For PDF Reading, nothing else compares!

I'm not wild about it, but I'm going to install it. If you're to use the PDF format, it's not like you have many choices unless you want to shell out serious dollars.
