There's no need to get emotional about this issue. If you cannot calm
down please do not reply to this message.
a. I know how to resize windows
b. I never said that i didn't 'experience any slowness' (with or without
the exclamation mark.
c. It /does/ get slower but it's not unusable.
I'm trying acrobat's thing now. so far xpdf has the following over it:
a. It's not 95MB in size
b. It doesn't take 5 seconds to start
c. it doesn't have the (IMO stupid) windows-in-windows model
d. It doesn't open the window in fullscreen mode. I have other things to
do on my multitasking computer while I have a pdf open.
e. No way that I (in my quick look of the obvious places in the
preferences window) can find to turn off the fullscreen thing.
Now I run a 1600x1200 screen with 1024x768 viewable so you can imagine
how astoundingly annoying point d can be.
In it's favour though, adobe's reader:
a. is faster then xpdf
b. has continuous layout - my most-missed feature when using xpdf
That's all I can say after a short bit of use of adobe's reader.
