Gravatar I notice you don't list Adobe Reader 6.0.5 or 6.0.6 under either vulnerable or immune, can you confirm it one way or the other please? I have a lot of installations of 6.0.6 because it's much lighter weight than either 7 or 8.


Gravatar Is Foxit as good as Adobe?


Gravatar Foxit Reader is a capable .pdf reader, and is noted for loading up much quicker than Adobe as well as having a small file size.


Gravatar Is does it cost anything?


Gravatar free


Gravatar I've never found a PDF that FoxIt couldn't open. I haven't used Adobe Reader for about 3 years now -- it got too bloated.


Gravatar Just downloaded Foxit. Only uses 5.54 MB, as opposed to Adobe Reader, which took up 86 MB or so.


Gravatar Foxit Reader supports Javascript and there is no config option to disable it. This IMHO makes it very dangerous to use, as AFAIK most of the recent PDF exploits have used Javascript. SumatraPDF does not support Javascript in PDFs, so it's probably a safer bet for displaying PDFs downloaded from the Internet or received in e-mail from untrusted sources.
