Well, then, thanks to the list I will change my default pdf viewer to Nitro and see how that goes. I'm a little leery of using a product where the vendor tells me I need an update and I don't get the update. Thanks all for your input.

I Adobe Reader because it's the standard. Turn off the auto updates and it won't nag you. Apparently no one that uses other pdf readers is worried about pdf exploits so why not? Every other pdf reader I've used also need updates because nothing, it seems, is exploit proof. (I actually have an updater service that checks on all of my MS and 3rd party products so I turn off all auto-updaters.) BTW Windows 8 has a PDF reader built in so you don't need anything additional. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 9:45 AM To: List Subject: [dba-Tech] Adios Adobe? Adobe Acrobat has updates seems like 3x a week. Why? Well, never mind - if it's security problems, I don't want it. Anyway the constant updates are getting real annoying. I have Nitro - seems to work well. I'll make that my default pdf viewer for a while and see if there's anything wrong wiht that. Meantime, is there any reason why I should not uninstall Acrobat Reader? Does anyone have a more preferred pdf viewer?
