Who ever uses Adobe Reader in the first place? Hey, I don't know who in here still uses PCs (though I think a good portion of y'all still do) but how many have ever in their lives use Adobe Reader? Unless they needed to have PDF files for work or something, I don't know who uses them. I can kinda see how they could be important but I've never used it unless I have to. Today I had an annoying update thing. So I was just wondering who uses it and who doesn't. | |

I use it daily at my job. I also use Adobe Writer to convert Word and Excel documents to .pdfs before I email them.

The ones that use it, do y'all do it for presentation values for work. I wonder if it's required. | |

had to use it to view and print the Prince tickets for the concert yesterday and it's great for scans of magazines etc | |

I can see how that would be used for that. Usually with Acrobat lol | |

We use it all the time. Not Reader - Acrobat. Our specs are PDF'd. Our proofs are PDF'd.
But then, we use the entire Adobe suite - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

For me, the primary reason is so I share static versions of my documents that can't be changed. You never want to share training materials (and most business docs) unless they're PDFs. | |

A lot of the files we work on and with come from a variety of sources. Having them scanned as a PDF improves our workflow. Being able to edit them with full Acrobat completes the job.
Do you have a job Timmy? | |

A great deal of resource material on the web is presented in PDF format also, this is where Reader comes in and does a great job of what it does. | |

Nah but I was just wondering. I could think if I did get one that has to do with business, then it's a better alternative.
Thanks guys, just wanted to know lol | |

Although there is a program (writer?) that allows one to convert .pdfs to word and then you can edit the document and convert it back to .pdf. I used to do that at my old job -- I would convert the exhibition catalogue essays to word and copy the text only (leave out the images) so it would take up less paper/space in the overall resource guide.

lol. Yeah, it's use is more work oriented than anything, but it does still come in handy. Update and keep it IMO. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Oh I'm keeping it. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
you are so silly.
but yeah I use it daily.
Timmy not fooling me. He's just tryin' to figure out if this will give him more HDD space to create more videos and upload music to his computer. I'm sorry, I busted you out. Yes, keep it. | |

Well I did move it to a new drive. I had an error trying to uninstall it so I can reinstall it because I did something stupid. But I got it back and put it in another drive (which has more free space). So everything's right again.
I didn't really wanna tell the real reason I asked lol | |

I use it pretty regularly for this sort of stuff, too. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Strangely enough when I was in college for computer courses, the topic of PDFs were NEVER brought up. (Maybe it's because I was in a community college lol) | |

leave out the milk, please? | |

do you also unclude the acrobat reader plug in for your web browser? since you need that often I'm finding, to read stuff.
I receive and create PDFs daily for my work. | |

Adobe reader is essential. Untill there is better semi-universal fomat for saving documents, Adobe PDF is it. | |

Even when it came out, I hardly heard my teachers talk about how to use them for work. They just taught us the basics. | |
