Adobe Reader

Why do so many companies insist on you having Adobe Reader to read their PDF`s? I had to get an itinerary for a friend`s flight home and the airline sent it attached to an e-mail. I had to download Adobe Reader to get it.I`m only going to un-install it again soon because I have Foxit.Surely it should not matter which program you have.

I'm not sure why you downloaded Adobe to read PDF's if you already have Foxit.
Surely you can just download the PDF file and either have it automatically open with Foxit or right click -> open with Foxit or open Foxit -> Open the file in question.

As Fusion says, Foxit will read any and all PDF files. Just because a web site says you need Adobe Reader doesn't make it true.

Yeh,my mistake. I`ve uninstalled Reader and made Foxit the default for PDF`s.
