I don't use Foxit, has it all the add-ins to sign pdfs, comment, mark and so on?

I have realized one thing: Big companies produce bloated code which need large teams to maintain. Small companies produce just enough code for the apps to work nicely.

I use Corel PDF Fusion (because it came free with one or more versions of Paintshop Pro and it allows PDF editing as well) and that's "only" 134MB! Bear in mind that's 134MB of Corel product: and their company motto is "Bloat and add bugs". :laugh:

Indeed. A while ago someone here sneered at me because he heard that I still write assembly programs on a 40 year old 8 bit computer and actually get something working in just 4k RAM. Even an icon as resource is far bigger today.

adobe acrobat has additional functionality like support for digital ceritifcates , cloud apis , plugins supporting adobe acrobat pro like forms etc... hence the size... normally meant for enterprise or corp environments....who use adobe..they other readers don't have to support all this...

Surely you mean 163.5 million bytes? Or are you using that simpleton MB for Apple users?

He is correct: Kibibyte - Wikipedia[^].

Well, that depends on whether you accept the authority of a group who wish to redefine the meaning of an ubiquitous term stretching long into the past. I'll accept there's two mainstream meanings of MB out there today, but in my very humble opinion one is correct, and one is meddling. :)

Never heard of Foxit, but just downloaded free version (FoxitReader94) and the download is 74Mb... though it does seem to do a lot more than just display PDFs... good find, thank you!

I'm using the "portable" version (which goes for many apps), and Foxit contains a "facebook" plugin of 4 Mb after install. It runs happily without it. See \App\Foxit Reader\plugins.

For the installer or the installed size? I do repack and deployments. Acrobat Reader is one that I have to do about once a year and every year the installer gets bigger and bigger. It seems the installer increases in size 4 or 5 times faster than the code it's installing.
