Open Word

I yesterday stumbled upon pdfreaders.org where they are offering some nice banners as alternative to Adobe’s “Get ADOBE® READER®” you see all over the Internet. Here’s an example:

The site seems to be a campaign of Free Software Foundation Europe.

Well I’ve never heard before about Sumatra PDF, but as it’s listed on the website I thought I would give it a try. After using it for a while I can confirm it’s fast. In fact it’s like a rocket compared to Adobe® Reader®. I highly recommend everyone on Windows to give it a try!

Plug-ins for Firefox and Internet Explorer are currently missing, but Sumatra can be set as the default PDF viewer and instructions to prevent Adobe® Reader® from stealing PDFs inside browser are available.
