i am using foxit pdf reader for pdf files instead of adobe, the main benefit is that its fast and very small in size, the only problem that i am having is that i dont have a compatible printer option that use to come in all the browser in microsoft office products, could anything be done for that???

I'm sorry but I doubt i understood your question right. Are you looking for an option to Print to a PDF file from MS-Office products? If so refer to this.

*www.cutepdf.com/

Or even better just search for "pdf create freeware" you should find quite a few of choices.

foxit reader is a good small and fast loaded pdf reader but it can not beet the adobe reader.
although adobe is slow than foxit but has many features which you not find in foxit.
adobe reader is slow because it has numbers of plug ins which loads with adobe reader each time when we run it. Not all plug ins necessary every time.
we can temporarily desable the unnecessary plug ins when they are not needed at that time.
how to do it?
just download and install "PDF SpeeUp" from here with the help of it desable unnecessary plug ins and see effect- fast adobe reader.

sorry guys, i think i wasn't clear the last time, actually what i want is that i want to take printout from any interface like from my browser (generally e-tickets.), from word, excel and other relevant softwares, which is a intrinsic property of adobe, but as it is quite bulky and all the stuff, i prefer to use foxit pdf instead of that, thatswhy i was asking that is there any other software which can help me getting the printouts.

i will try out the suggestions given, hope that the above will solve the problem

you can use Foxit pdf creator. Its not free. But the only thing the evaluation version does is that it leaves a small line on top right corner of your pdf page saying that this pdf was created by foxit pdf creator. thats it. I think we can live with that as there is nothing else written anywhere other than this. No watermark or so.

you can write anything with the free version of foxit PDF reader and still not get any small line on the top right corner your PDF page

i had blogged about it

Write and edit any PDF files for free

man.. Abobe reader is really bloated. if u ask me ,Only 25% of its components is actually needed to view pdf's. Only CIA people (U.S agency) use its security, authentication, ciertificate, encryption & etc. features.

Adobe should come out with an Adobe reader lite, which downloads components as and when you need them.

Adobe Reader Lite 9.0.0 - unofficial version

but nothing beats the speed of a single exe file of foxit
