    I tried 6.0. It is an absolute dog. It installed OK but when MSIE calls it to view a web page, it takes over two minutes to open. Back to 5.0.5 for me...
    You have to rem also, that the pdf file has to download as well, to your computer, without a fast connection it will take a long time to load.
    and give an impression that Acrobat takes forever to load. when in fact it is still downloading the file off the server
    But i do agree that acrobat is taking longer and longer to load.
    have to disable the automatica search for updates, to speed it a bit.

    you best bet is to right click a pdf file, save to HD then open the acrobat reader, THEN point it to the file you want to view.

    don't forget you can also use Ghostscript to view PDF's. Adobe Acrobat is not the only game in town for pdf's.

    The current version of Acrobat reader is now 6.0.1.

    Based on posts at other message boards, there are more complaints about this one than there were for version 6.0.

    Unless you have a better source, as of 3/24/04, Version 6.0 is still available at:

    I have found that the "basic" version of adobe reader 6.01 loads up much faster then the "full" version of the reader and is only an 8mb download you can find it here:

    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html

    It doesn't have all of the features of the full version but if you just want to read pdfs then this is the best one to get.

    :unsure: I have tried to download and install "Acrobat Reader 5.0 and 5.0.5" and the newest version from Adobes website with no luck at all. I got a message saying"Corrupt Cabinet File" when I tried from this site and another saying the downloaded file was corrupt when I tried it from the Adobe site. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. Thanks.

    with problems like this it is far easier if you add the details of the system you are running (ie) processor ram and windows version etc, if you add this info you may be far faster at getting a reply..

    I'm sure version 5.0 is OK because I'm using it, but As far as I know any version of Adobe Reader is compatable with Windows 98.
