I hope so! Willing to uinstall 6 and try 7. Acrobat Reader 6 was just a piece of garbage. I totally agree with the other posters. It took forever to load from Web pages and that's if it didn't completely crash and take the browser with it.Originally Posted by NickP 1K

Update: Acrobat Reader 7.0 is definitely much faster than 6.0 and hasn't hung up on anything I've used thus far in my limited tests. Users should definitely uninstall 6.0 first and then give 7.0 a try.
I made sure to unclick all the options and not download the full program, toolbar, and extras. I also chose not to use d/l manager as I prefer to d/l the .exe in its entirety. W/O all the options the 7.0 reader file is about 12.6MB compared to the whopping 20+MB with options. What a pig!
Whatever they did to 7 to make it load faster than 6 seems to be platform-independent. I've noticed the same thing on my Mac.
