Adobe Acrobat Reader is free software that lets you view and print Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
Adobe PDF is the open standard for worldwide electronic document distribution. Documents converted into PDF format preserve all the formatting, colours and graphics of the original document, regardless of the application or platform used to create it.
The PDF format is the workflow standard for the publishing industry, and is increasingly being used in financial services, regulated industries and governments. With Adobe Acrobat Reader you can also complete and submit PDF forms online, a handy tool as more and more companies begin to embrace the technology.

That's like saying:
"Microsoft, can you not release any security updates for 2 or 3 months please... Good Lord..."
Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? Adobe aren't releasing an update for the fun of it.

I agree. Has near enough everything Adobe Reader has. Only slight bug is copying doesnt work correctly some of the time.

Pretty unprofessional site. They type in ALL CAPS and explain how their product is a "free" alternative to the already free Adobe Reader.
I'm sticking with Foxit.
Adobe Reader is HUGE, bloated, slow, pops up annoying "Please Update" messages all the time (unless you take the time to disable that), ties itself into the OS forcing a reboot if you try to uninstall it, and by default renders fonts unreadable on 256 color systems.
Open standard my ass.
PDF couldn't be more closed of a standard.
Shame too, they finally wised up and came out with a nice clean interface, but the program is still ridiculously large and the automatic update stuff is horrible.

My advice is to just delete the AdobeUpdater.exe application from c:\program files\common files\adobe\Updater5
