Adobe Acrobat Reader has become a bloated PIG!  It's a large download, slow to open, and on many machines unstable to use.  They're also constantly issuing updates and patches for security flaws for parts of the program 99% of the people NEVER use.  Those updates and patches are also large.   A great alternative is Foxit Reader.  It can open PDF files just as well as Adobe Acrobat Reader, but does so QUICKLY and with a SMALL amount of memory as compared to Adobe's offering.  Also, it's a MUCH SMALLER download.  I've switched over and know many other people that have switched to Foxit with no trouble what-so-ever.  If you just need to open the occasional PDF file, REMOVE Adobe Acrobat Reader and try Foxit Reader.  It's also 100% FREE.
