Ultimate Predator Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yep, I switched when Foxit's search feature for words wasn't working on a document, but Adobe was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I recommend using Adobe Reader Speed-up with that, it disables a lot of the "bloat" extensions in Adobe Reader, makes it load much faster. Quick and easy to use, and just as quick to restore the defaults when you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Not compatible with the latest version of Adobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm using it with Adobe Reader 8 (the latest version), it works fine. The changelog for the last AR Speedup update says it should be good until v. 11. Why do you think it's not compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 I remember reading that it didn't work. I'll try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think that when Adobe 8 first came out, AR Speedup didn't recognize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Works like a dream. Glad I'm using it, so much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synapse Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Do you mind posting the PDF that you were trying to search for text in?.. I've tried the search feature in Foxit on multiple occasions, and have never had any problem doing so... Then again, everything i read in a PDF is usually all text. Also, is Adobe Reader still a like 20 meg installation? been a long time since i've used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/pdf/humedial.pdf It just didn't work for me. I've also noticed that its easier to scroll (its a bit glitchy on Foxit for some PDF's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapse Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 hmmm yea can't do searching on that PDF... wonder why.. it's pretty much simple plain text. searched for about 5 random words, found none. and searched for "e" and found the first one at the bottom of the first page lol. If i wasn't so picky about the size and bloat of Adobe PDF i'd consider using it, but a standalone 1.8meg exe is just too good to pass up for just a searching problem in my opinion.

Ultimate Predator Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Generally I would agree, but as I'm approaching exams and reading and searching through PDF's is becoming important, I gotta keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
