I have not installed or tried this so can't vouch for any of the claims.

Foxit Reader 2.0 for Windows

Foxit Reader 2.0 is a free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size (only 1.5 M download size), breezing-fast launch speed and amazingly rich feature set. Foxit Reader 2.0 supports Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003. Its core function is compatible with PDF Standard 1.6.

In the past, you have to download a huge PDF Reader from other software company, go through a lengthy installation process and wait for an annoying splash window to disappear just to open a PDF document. Moreover, if you want to annotate a PDF document, you have to pay US$299 to buy certain PDF software.

Now with Foxit Reader 2.0, you don't have to endure such pain any more. The following is a list of compelling advantages of Foxit Reader 2.0:

* Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is only 1.5 M which is a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size
* Breezing-fast: When you run Foxit Reader, it launches instantly without any delay. You are not forced to view an annoying splash window displaying company logo, author names, etc.
* Annotation tool: Have you ever wished to annotate (or comment on) a PDF document when you are reading it? Foxit Reader 2.0 allows you to draw graphics, highlight text, type text and make notes on a PDF document and then print out or save the annotated document.
* Text converter: You may convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.
* High security and privacy: Foxit Reader highly respects the security and privacy of users and will never connect to Internet without users' permission. While other PDF Reader often silently connects to the Internet in the background. Foxit PDF Reader does not contain any spyware or adware.

I really don't use PDF files much. If I see that a link leads to a pdf file, I usually walk away from it. The few times I needed to read a PDF file, I didn't mind waiting for Adobe Acrobat to open. It's no slower opening than any other major program takes to open...

I think you have your replies/posts mixed up, Nightrider. This post of mine says nothing about PDF files.

I believe I got that automatically because as of late, all pdf files open as quick as any other page. I can't even tell, I have to look at the bar at top to see if its pdf or not. I use these all the time, mostly researching, but doesn't matter to me anymore of its pdf or not.
