Whoa! Are you sure that the source is available for download? Considering Acrobat Reader is a closed source product, I would guess the tar.gz is a binary package.

Thanks for the info there I am happy with acroread 5.0, but I have heard some good things about 7.0, I will definitely try it out.

and I like gpdf , a variant of xpdf. And above all PDF is a proprietary file format. Adobe defines its specifications and then publishes them. In the past, Adobe has tried to turn PDF into an ISO-standard to push its acceptance in the market. The industry has responded with a request to move the definition of PDF to an independent organization so it could truly become an open standard.

any more info on this ??

Thank you I just downloaded it. Acrobat 7 has a very good clean face with excellent readability. Its a mile ahead of Acrobat 5. A must for all pdf readers.

No idea what all is there which make it so big, but it is based on a GTK2 interface, and its loadtimes and interface speed is a helluva lot slower than 5.0
