what do people use to read pdf documents.
at the moment I use Adobe Reader as I guess a lot of people do but are there any better ones. I seem to get bother with this. It freezes, hangs when shutting documents, seems slow etc.

I have always assumed Adobe Reader was the only one. I certainly haven't heard of anything else, but there may well be other compatible applications. Have you tried re-installing the latest version, Baz?

There's the
Foxit
software, which a lot of people recommend (I've not tried it as I have the full Acrobat).

Oldversion has all the previous versions of Adobe acrobat. Many of them do the same thing as the newer ones but without all the added features and other junk that tends to slow them down.

Thanks guys will try the Foxit one and see what its like. I dont use Adobe much but its one of those programs you need sometimes so I just went for that originally but like I say it seems to give loads of bother.
Yeah thats a good site Bob use that now and then also have you tried this one

I have used foxit for a good bit
it never fails its not bloated software and simply it just works when you need it
