For those interested in a smaller version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader 7

Reason why its so small is that I removed all the useless files and plugins; but I still included the basic Search, Web links and Browser plugins.

Although this installer is purely based on my own work, the reg tweaks I included comes from Astalavista's Post

*NEW*: Updated to Adobe Reader v7.0.1!

Sorry, that means a file size increase too! (Just 2 MB more..)

100% Silent, Switchless and Tweaked as usual.

* Fixed the browser plugin problem.
Note: You will still have to copy the Adobe\Browser\nppdf32.dll file to your Plugins folder in Firefox/Netscape if you want to view pdf files within your browser itself.

(More mirrors would be helpful!)

[Astalavista]

good job.

there is one little comment i hope u dont get upset.
what happens in the future if for example u need those plugins
and u can't open the pdf file bec they are not there? is there a way to download them again and add them back manually?

again good job... as simon says someone will find this useful indeed

[DigeratiPrime]

[Astalavista]

if u remove plugsin then i dont think so.

[clavicle]

I'm assuming he meant plugins for Acrobat, not the Acrobat browser plugin.

[DigeratiPrime]

well if i click a link to open a pdf in firefox i get this:

[Astalavista]

ouch...

[RyanVM]

I guess not then

[jacksont123]

Might as well use asta's if we have internet
and the new 5mb for those who dont have internet

this was a good release though

[Astalavista]

u mean to say there are still people that dont hv internet?
LOL just kidding. I am curious what other plugins he removed.

Thanks for all your comments.

Well I basically removed every plugin except

1) Browser Plugins (All)
2) Search Plugin
3) Web links plugin (so that you can view and click on web links in PDFs)

Which should be more than enough for most people... Anyways if I included more plugins, then this wouldn't be a 'lite' version now would it

The reason why FF by default doesn't load the pdf is because the plugin isn't copied to the FF's plugin folder. To enable pdf view in Mozilla and other netscape based browsers, just copy \Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\Browser\nppdf32.dll to the \Firefox\plugins folder.

-----------

And for some reason a pdf isn't opening, just see the error message and download the respective plugin into the \Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\plug_ins folder.

----------

----------

Of course, if it still doesn't load the pdf in the browser, the good'ol rt-click and Save Target As... always works

* EDIT: I just confirmed that the absence of EWH32.API plugin causes FF/Acrobat to freeze or not work while loading a pdf in FF/NN. I'll be including ewh32.api asap and will fix the installer. Luckily it will only add 37kb to the final file size

thanks dexter for the feedback, i copied over nppdf32.dll into the Firefox plugin folder and that fixed it.

I will certainly be using this. Its great to see people doing work, and not stealing others and raring it into an SFX and calling it their own work. Excellent job!
