Foxit PDF Preview Handler

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Wow, it’s PDF day. Exciting.

Tim Heuer has written a PDF Previewer for Outook 2007. And just in time too, as I was about to shell out $300 for Acrobat.. mainly because it had a previewer.

So after spending well over twenty minutes uninstalling the Adobe beast, I’m up and running with Foxit for free. Like Sumatra, it’s lickity split fast.

Thanks Tim!

Sumatra PDF

While getting document viewers deployed onto Japanese handsets I’ve consequently mucked around with more than my fair share of PDF utilities over the last three or four years. Sumatra has got to be the best one I’ve come across. Simple and lickity-split fast.

Now if it just wouldn’t crash on Japanese documents.
