An alternative PDF reader to Adobe Acrobat Reader

Are you as Sick and Tired of Adobe Reader Updates as I am?

I found a great alternative that’s:

  1. free.
  2. doesn’t bug you for updates.
  3. every bit as good as Adobe’s PDF reader.
  4. knows it’s place on your desktop as a minor app that doesn’t need it’s own system tray icon.
  5. doesn’t speak unless spoken to.
  6. Isn’t a huge bloat of an install.
  7. doesn’t install an app that’s ALWAYS RUNNING LOOKING FOR UPDATES!
  8. doesn’t require you to read 100 pages of legal text every couple of days, displayed in a tiny, scrollable window.

You can get it here at FoxItSoftware.com.

You’ll find an actual working version of it at the bottom of this article.  Please click the appropriate buttons in it to let your friends know about this article so they too can rid themselves of the constant Adobe popups, legal agreements, and hogged resources that make up Adobe’s PDF reader.

Check back later for updates too!

Good Luck!

Google+ (Google Plus) You Should Most Definitely Leave Feedback

Google+ is still in trial mode, which means they’ve brought us in to help them work out the kinks.  It’s really important that you report any bugs or funkiness you experience using their easy to use “Send Feedback” feature.  You should do this often.

How To:

In the lower right corner of your browser, is a “Send Feedback” button:

Click that and you’ll immediately be put into screen capture mode.  Your browser page will go gray, except for the new feedback box that opened.  Use your mouse to draw a square around the area of the screen that’s relevant to your issue (if it’s relevant, if not, just skip the screen capture and go straight to entering the text of the issue).

In the image below, I drew a box around Larry Page’s post.

Next, enter a description in the big text edit box they give you, then click “Preview”, then on the preview page, click “Send feedback”.  Note that they do not have a way to go back and change your comment, even though they give you a preview of it.  THAT should be reported too, but you don’t have a feedback button on the final feedback page, heh.

G+ is awesome, but it is in trial mode and this is the part where we help them fix the remaining bugs in their officially “unreleased” software.

You’ll find an actual working version of it at the bottom of this article.  Please click the appropriate buttons in it to let your friends know about this article so they too can share their feedback with Google!  The +1 button, as you probably already know, is a Google+ button to share it on your G+ “+1” tab.
