One would think that Adobe apps would be the best for handling pdfs. Sometimes they are, but in many, many cases, they aren't. In tests I ran over several years, the Jaws Editor usually did a better job displaying pdfs and often when printing them. My service bureau routinely chose Jaws pdfs over Acrobat when I gave them a choice.
I haven't compared Jaws Editor 4 and Acro 8 (the current versions) because I'm currently running an Adobe-free machine, and we have no need to upgrade Acro.
I recently installed the Adobe Reader 8 (the latest version) on my Windows XP-2 computer. That was a big mistake. What a resource hog! It constantly tried to "phone home" to see if there were any updates, and in so doing, it took up 100% of my resources, making my computer completely unusable. To rid myself of this troublesome priest, I had to boot into safe mode.
After I installed Foxit reader, I wrote Adobe an email explaining to them that I did not get my computer so it could do nothing but check to see if I had the latest Adobe reader. Sheesh!
