Dangerous Security Hole in Adobe Reader


A huge security hole has been found in Adobe Reader, a critical program your computer uses to read PDF documents. Avoid opening PDF files from unknown sources. Until there's a fix, use this free, powerful PDF program instead. >>
PDF files are a handy tool for sharing documents. They display information exactly as you want. And they can be viewed on almost any computer.
Unfortunately, making PDF files can be tricky. The full-featured programs are expensive. And the free options aren't very powerful.
Nitro PDF Reader changes that. It's a full-featured PDF reader and creator that is completely free. You can create and edit PDF files in the program. Plus, it has better security than Adobe Reader.
You can create PDFs from several file formats, including Office documents. Just drag a file into the Nitro PDF program window. There are also PDF annotation tools and a signature feature.
Cost: Free

System: XP, Vista, 7

Have been using Nitro PDF Reader for several years already. RARELY use Adobe Reader anymore.

Also associated with Nitro PDF Reader is the FREE Primo PDF for creating PDF files that installs as a printer. This also is one that lets you create single files out of multiple by printing the first one to a new named file, then print the added ones to that same new file name and it will allow you to 'append' to the existing new file name.

GREAT couple of programs from the people at Nitro/Primo !!

Those are the reasons I use it to, along with no patches needed.
