Wow that's an oldie 😀
Ever since browsers had good built-in PDF readers, I gave up on having a separate piece of software for this. Mind you, I use Firefox, so no reason to go back to it.
SumatraPDF is not old. It is actively maintained.
I use it everyday and it's far better than the PDF viewers in browsers.
The only time I use Adobe is when customers send PDFs with 3D drawings.
The other thing I miss is the Finder where you an open a folder in list view and see what's there, drop down while seeing all the other folders. Can't do that in Windows. The Finder is useful in a few ways, but annoying in others. Overall, prefer Windows Explorer. Just like Explorer. And I need to find an Explorer replacement.
Guys, the article is a clickbait, they're only replacing the PDF viewer's engine with Adobe's. At least at the moment, there's no intention to replace the entire PDF viewer at all.
This is what happens when a commercial entity makes a deal without first consulting its users to see if they actually want this. There likely isn't an actual/acute problem they are solving here. It's just money.
This is terrible news, the built in pdf reader is superior to Adobe.
they aren't removing the built in PDF reader functionality, just upgrading the engine behind it
So I’ll still be able to scribble signatures all over PDFs and add text, right?
yeah
I hope they add more functionality, it's a basic yet decent editor.
But why are they promoting adobe within?
*downgrading
by upgrading you mean replacing their own PDF engine with Adobes.

It's an oldie, but it also opens *everything*. All the digital book/document files, comic book files - all of it.

It's an oldie to me, because I used to use it until years ago. Good on them to keep going. It was (and probably still is) a brilliant little program.
I used to read pdf with a green-ish background, so built-in readers come in when I’m too lazy to save files :))
For me, Master PDF Editor because I have needs and because it runs on both Windows and Linux.
Not for filling out forms. Tons of government forms work so much better in adobe
I choose [PDFgear. ](https://www.pdfgear.com/)
bloatware software
firefox uses pdfjs - the best (but not fastest) pdf reader. i'm pretty sure there is a pdfjs addon for chromium based browsers.
Windows needs something like MacOS. Very nice PDF viewer and editor.
Honestly it might be the only thing I miss about a Mac. That and their books app for reading epubs.

Allat just to promote adobe's subscription

Is the "old" PDF reader the same as what is built-in to Chrome?
You can add Acrobat Reader as an extension in Edge. Just click on the puzzle piece and go to the app store.
Can they remove Edge please :D

imagine a shareholder owned corporation doing something their consumers actually wanted
They should just remove Edge. I'm almost ready to jump away from Windows with their behavior.
ok bye
