Freeware Update: Adobe Reader 8.1.1 Released
If you haven’t been informed from your updater application yet, Adobe has made available a new version of Adobe Reader (8.1.1). Personally, being on a Mac, I prefer Preview because it seems a ton faster, but Adobe Reader is great for viewing, saving copies, and even adding security (passwords) to PDF documents. [Lots of] Designers use PDF documents regularly, and Reader is a good way to view these documents, (before delivering them to press for example), without having to run the bulkier Acrobat. (it launches noticeably faster than Acrobat too, from my experience).

As a Mac user, I’d have to say for viewing multypage pdf’s I’ll keep upgrading my Reader. Sure, it might take longer to start up, but once it does the document viewing always seems faster and crisper than Preview. Preview has always felt like the bastard child mac app, IMHO.
I make a dozen or so PDF’s for client review everyday, Hopefully this will help speed things up a bitt.
I love PREVIEW and **used to** use it for all my PDF needs (even distilling from postcript files or converting from eps) but since PS CS3, PREVIEW doesn’t show type unless it’s been rasterized which is a hugh p.i.t.a. so i’ve been using READER more and more. I wish READER was as lightweight and as speedy as PREVIEW but i also wish you could join/add pages to PDFs without having to use ACROBAT.
very good
thanks.that’s good for me
good…
