Adobe Acrobat - is there an alternative?
techidave:
I think a lot of people use Reader, I do as does our school employees. however, Reader does not allow us to create documents. i believe it does allow editing of pdfs if the "Creator" allows it. Which most do not, at least not the pdfs that I receive.
techidave:
How about a recommendation for Macs? I Adobe has one, but doesn't appear pdfexchange does.

For this type of stuff, I'd recommend using PDF Split and Merge Basic (aka "PDFsam"). Preferably version 2.x, since version 3 dropped the "visual composer" option, which was a pretty useful feature.

Reader can be fast, but it can also be slow. Depends on the PDF. I find that PDF XChange opens at the same speed no matter the PDF, which is why I always switch my default to it.

I was commenting more on launching the app. If I am opening a PDF file without the app running yet, then Acrobat Pro launches more quickly than PDF-XChange. Once they are both running, this difference disappears when opening additional files.

Ah... I always open with a file, so I hadn't noticed this.
