Can't speak to OSX as I've >> never used it but I'd bet a coffee Acrobat Reader is (or can >> be) there, too. - on none of my window boxes acrobat was preinstalled - there is no robust way to start acrobat - pdfopen has to be adapted to major updates of acrobat - there is (at least on my machine) a potential clash between reader and professional - acrobat occasionally tends to block - the latest version of acrobat has funny popups when opening docs while sumatrapdf - is pretty fast - has matured quite well - remembers the current page - renders quite ok - even supports some basic interactivity - (has an ugly yellow pop up windows but those can nowadays be recolored) - can be installed as portable application - works ok wine/linux (in fact has my preference now when on linux) so, enough reasons for me to have changed the defaults (esp because one can always set different defaults) > Although I first discovered this when trying to use SciTE, it does > the same thing if invoked from the command line.
