Yeah I can read PDFs from my browser, Firefox automatically has it because it was installed for free on my computer. | |

PDF's are invaluable at work.

You had the update too? Man I had to turn my updater off. Once I reinstalled it (yeah I found a way ), I went to the updates section and after it scanned for an update, I went to the preferences and turn the "automatic updates" off. That was what got on my nerves Friday. | |

Also, just like you can download movies and music from the web, you can also download books, in PDF format. Most any officially written thing comes in PDF, as well as it's hard copy version. So instead of having tons of thick reference manuals piled up on a shelf somewhere, you can have your PDF files saved in some little folder tucked away on your hard drive (or other device).
Adobe Reader is a pretty valuable tool, Adobe Acrobat is even better. I swear by the entire Adobe Suite. | |

I wonder if any music biographies are available on PDF files... | |

I bet there are. I've downloaded all sorts of books in PDF format , though it's been a while (last "regular book" I downloaded was "If I Did It" by OJ Simpson).
Just did a quick search of my files and I have about 260 various PDF files. Mostly manuals for various computer programs, reference books, a few comic books, and...er... "magazines", lol. Plus, a lot of Government and legal documents come out in PDF format. Moreover, you can customize your Adobe Reader client in very cool ways. It's a program well worth learning.
If you use the torrent sites, be sure and check the "books" search option (if there is one on your particular favorite torrent search engine), or otherwise be sure to include "pdf" when using Google. There's tons of material out there in PDF format that you wouldn't want to be missing out on... TRUST. (wink wink, lol). | |

I use it almost every day, but I don't see why it needs constant updates. It seems like a pretty simple & straightforwad thing.
Same goes for MS Office. I get thes 100MB updates constantly! What are they changing? Nothing as far as I can tell. My Legacy

The updates are usually closing newly discovered security threats. | |

Wow! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had that problem. Thank God I was able to locate all that mess and delete it. The updates slow your computer down and make it more vulnerable for any attack on your computer's security. I had to disable automatic updates on Windows for that reason. | |

I use it home pretty regularly. Catalogs, some scanned books, some scanned comic books, government information is often in the PDF file format (like, if you want to download the Federal Budget). I don't go out of my way to use it (at home), though. And that update request is annoying if you haven't used it for a while and it still pops up. | |

SCNDLS said: I use it almost daily. Me too...I create and read them for work everyday. It's also extremely useful for making a webpage printable with ease...and they also make massive documents manageable in terms of data size. Couldn't live without it | |

As long as you're staying on top of what those security updates are, and then installing them at your earliest convenience. Because what's going to leave your system more vulnerable to attack than it being slow, is not installing those Windows Updates.
Then remember, aside from "automatic" updates, there's also an option in Windows to schedule those updates to occur at a specific time, preferably at some time when you know you're not going to be using the computer. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
That's just it though, there's already doubts that the updates will protect us anyway. Nothing has happened yet and I turned them off about two years ago. | |

Ah, I see. In that case, I wish you continued success. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Thanks. Plus my computer's running extra fast now.
