#Michael Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 If you were to be conducting a pilot program for a wide scale windows 8 tablet roll-out (currently at 15 tablets) what would you choose? Would you stay at the built-in metro pdf reader or go with say adobe reader or a 3rd party such as foxit? Adobe has the ability to add a signature but seems sluggish. Foxit is wickedly fast but is quite basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted February 19, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted February 19, 2013 If you're choosing between apps only, I'd stick with the default Reader. If you're considering all the options including desktop programs, then I'd pick Adobe Reader XI or whatever version is current, unless for some reason, it doesn't play nicely with the touch interface.

Actually, adobe plays very nicely with the touch interface especially when using it with the signature feature. But depending on what tablet you are using (surface pro vs. low end fujitsu) it can be sluggish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, between the two, if you need to view in a non-full-screen window, Adobe Reader is still the best choice. (I have both installed, and use the ModernUI Reader for full-screen PDFing, and Adobe for windowed PDFing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Adobe, its faster and has broader features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 16, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted August 16, 2013 i'd say go with Foxit. it's not quite as basic as people make it out to be anymore, and it's still very quick and un-bloated helpifIcan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menge Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 If you just need to view the files, keep it standard. Less trouble updating and less security vulnerabilities, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
