Personally, I'd recommend not using acrobat reader. PDFs are
more
like executable programs than documents. So besides having to worry
about bugs in acrobat reader (of which there have been plenty with
security implications), you have to worry about valid PDFs doing
things to your system or with your pre-existing data that you don't
want.
Well the thing is that i wanted to read a manual in pdf format . You see
there are a lot of them hanging around . So what do i do ? Convert the
pdf to a more safe format ( by the way since u mention it , which is a
safer format ? ) or just use another program to open the pdf file ?
