I have to deal with pdf's a lot and although ADOBE does have a lot of features it is a huge bloated pig of a program. So I stumbled across this

The pdf veiwer is only 1 meg and doesn't even need to be installed. They also have a pdf editor that you can use free (leaves a watermark) or pay $99. The pdf editor isn't as robust as Acrobat. For example I haven't found a way to create fill in the blank style pdf's. But for just general editing and manipulations it will do the job and I prefer the way it handles text editing over Adobe. I also found it easier to move graphics and text around in general.
I haven't uninstalled adobe yet, but I also haven't used it in a month at work. At home I haven't even bothered to install and have had no use for it.
