Mikko Hypponen, research director F-Secure, said nearly half of all pirate attacks this year exploited holes in Acrobat Reader, while six vulnerabilities have been discovered that the objective of the program. He warned people to stop using the Adobe Acrobat Reader and go to the aid of an alternative PDF reader.

It is important for all future users of PDF. Adobe is the founder of the PDF and the first option with a PDF solution. Maybe some people have started to consider switching to other tools that Adobe products. I do not know how. The following will give you options when you stop using the adobe.

Read PDF

Even before the security issue, I I use Adobe Reader and found alternative PDF reader. Because it takes a long time before Adobe Reader loads completely. It uses many system resources, and then the computer slows down when you use Adobe Reader. There are many other readers and the light PDF and I recommend the best of the three:

Foxit Reader 1

Foxit is the most popular alternative to Adobe Reader. This is approximately 2.9 MB and expenditure immediately. It also allows you to edit bookmarks in a PDF file fill in PDF forms. The software is completely free for noncommercial use.

PDF-Xchange Viewer 3

The reader PDF-Xchange is smaller, faster and more feature rich Adobe. You can add comments and annotations or custom stamps The free PDF. Another advantage is that large open PDF files quickly and easily load pages as they marched.

Create PDFs

In addition to viewing the PDF, we create our own PDF. Above all you are an ebook writer, or simply create a PDF form and email to colleagues. Then you need a PDF creator. Yes, you can use Adobe Acrobat Pro is the software problem is too expensive. What if we can get some at a lower price, or better yet free? I found some of these summarized as follows:

1 Microsoft Word 2007 Add-in

Microsoft offers a plug-in FREE Office programs to convert to PDF. Maybe you did not know no. So, as you have a legal copy of the latest version of Microsoft Word, then go to the download page and download the Microsoft Office Add SaveAsPDF – "and get his word directly to PDF.

But in the new version of Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2), Microsoft Save PDF Add-in has been built into it. Users no longer have to download and install the plugin separately.

Edit PDF

What if you want to edit PDF or remove pictures and paintings to the reuse PDF? Adobe Acrobat? No, it's $ 299.00 + tax (standard edition) or $ 449.00 + VAT (Pro version). Personally I do not use PDF editor, because there are too buttons and custom functions. PDF and publishers are not usually cheap. Therefore, finding a better way. Convert PDF to prefer, such as Word, Excel, edit the new file and then convert to PDF. Let me give you some tools can convert PDF files to other formats.

A Free Word PDF Converter
