In contrast, my preferred PDF Reader, Sumatra, is 8MB and the PDF viewer embedded in the Chrome browser is 4MB. The software was installed to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0 which occupies 116 megabytes of hard drive space (this was a 32 bit copy of Windows 8). Following the prompts however, you download a 1MB pre-installer called "install_reader11_en_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" and you never see or deal with the main 48MB installer. The software was downloaded from the official location, /reader which said that the download was 48MB. On a Windows 8 machine that had no prior versions of the Adobe Reader, I did a fresh install of the latest edition, released last month, version 11.0.06. But, while researching the new issue, I ran across yet another reason not to like the software: it consumes mass quantities of hard drive space, at least on Windows. Yesterday I found a new reason not to like it, which I expect will be the next Defensive Computing blog. I'll come clean right off the bat: I don't like the Adobe PDF Reader.
