theweaselkingI need a PDF reader that doesn't suck.
1. Adobe Reader is terrible, and, like all Adobe products, is full of security holes that are never patched in a timely manner.
2. Foxit Reader used to be pretty good (if annoying - it kept resetting customisations to default on updates) but now inescapably bundles the "Foxit Cloud" malware.
3. SumatraPDF can't handle forms.
4. Don't get me started on the PDF handling of Google Docs.
5.Telling the entire world to stop using PDFs because there are no non-shitty readers is sadly impractical.
Right now I'm using Sumatra because it displays simple PDFs just fine, but I occasionally want some of the more complicated features available in the format and I'd like a reader that handles them without also being complete shit. Anyone got something?
