Adobe Reader
Hi,
Adobe Reader has been barking at me lately to 'upgrade' to the DC version -- I have XI.
A couple of years ago, I did that, and found it fairly horrible. I couldn't find some fairly common functions -- although maybe they're all now tricky little icons.
At any rate, I managed to get back to XI and have stayed there since.
Donjamer told me at the time that DC was not a good deal.
Now, I have to shut down the update message every day at least. Then today, I checked for updates from within Reader itself. It reported that XI was no longer supported, and that I should get DC to get the latest updates. Of course, they mentioned 'security updates' just to make it seem important.
Anyody using DC? Hows that working? I use pdfs quite a bit and I'd hate to be restricted by this 'improved' version.
Thanks,
hj

What do you use Adobe reader for??
If it is just opening and reading PDF files then nothing will change..
I don't remember what we discussed before on the subject..
I have been using the DC version for a while and have not had an issue reading the files

OK. maybe I'll give it a try. Seems to me that I couldn't rotate pages or some other thing that I do occasionally.
Also, I make my own tax calculating spreadsheets, and to do that I copy the current tax tables into excel. ( It takes a few steps, but it works). Can't imagine that they'd drop that, but who knows.
It just seems that every time somebody is really pushing a new version, some feature has been omitted.
Thanks,

I just tried and I can rotate the page so that should work..
As for the excel tables you will have to try that..
If you find limitations there is a website that you can create free PDF files and also edit existing ones..
You can check it out.. I have used it a number of times for what i needed

Thanks as always DJ. I don't really do anything special to make tables -- it's just a cut and paste, but it's something that I'd hate to lose.
Probably check out the online stuff first -- then I should have a backup .
