    My needs are simpler than what this product can provide, but in testing I still find that for accessing / viewing PDF files, this product is not as smooth and consistent as I would like it to be. Sumatra PDF 1.0 provides a better experience for me, though Foxit is no slouch. It's just that it's not as good as I had expected, given the recommendations that I have fielded from fellow users.

    Suggestions and feedback has been sent in the hopes that the programmers will take them into consideration. There is little use complaining if you do not make an honest effort to help see the product improved, I guess.

    Here's hoping.

    Program works fine, no problem with rendering most PDFs, but have had problem on Vista, the UAC keeps popping up with the most recent releases when program launches. Hmm. Did not do this before.
