I use Foxit almost exclusively for times I need to read a .pdf document. It seems much faster and has fewer errors opening files.

Good day all. Thanks for the input. I'll give it a go. Worst case, I go back.

You won't go back. You'll end up loving Foxit so much you'll be scrambling for instructions how to get rid of Adobe forever
 , all of it, gone, for good.

Foxit is defintely the way to go. Slimmer, more options, etc.
One really nice feature is an instant text conversion for copy/paste. With Adobe, you need to copy the entire doc to a clipboard and then into your destination doc - Foxit is much more convenient.

I usually use Foxit too. However, there is occasionally a file that does not render properly in Foxit, and I have to use Adobe to see it properly. I keep Adobe on hand for those few occasions.
