Thank you very much !

The edges around the bright red area are jagged. I don't know if that matters to you, but it looks odd to me.

What jagged edges? (insert evil laughter here)

To share this one with others, I'll explain:
When I posted v8 on my repository, the icon image i used was extremely poor.
Dumpy hotlinked that image when making the above posting.
I replaced the poor image on my repository with a higher resolution image,
which subsequently changed the image in Dumpy's post.

Sharky
You're really a Magician by making such nice awesome releases

@Shark007: could you make AR 8.0 EN "even-more-like", similar to one made for 7.0.8 by Vid0 here:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...p;p=513735&

(compare yours AR 7.0.8 Lite and his - his has even less files/features left yet works ok for me. His is 6.25MB, yours is 7.95MB - please compare files inside both installer - his has fewer files).

TIA!

ps there's also 7.0.8a out - I'd appreciate Lite version of it, too (Vid0 style prefereably - with the same file choice).

Sorry, i am not Vid0 and my installation is quite different.
I'm sure he/she will eventually release a version for you to use since that is what you prefer.
Currently I have no knowledge of 708a, and will only look into it if it is for a language other than english, and v8 is not available in the given language.

I'm guessing you have trouble with English.

Hopefully a Spanish user can explain to you that Adobe has not released a v8 in Spanish therefore i cannot create a Lite version yet either.

[amsavs]

thanks friend

[ajua]

just wait a few days, there will be a spanish release from adobe. meanwhile use english version or the spanish version 7.0.8.

Hi,
I tried the new release and all worked great except the Help function.
Clicking on Help(F1) causes a crash. (XP+W2k)
I would therefore suggest to include the help files since AR8 may have new operation/functions compared to 7.0.8

I wasnt aware of this problem. I didnt specifically remove the help files. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll look into this and hopefully release updated files soon.

Help files have been added to all Adobe Reader 8.0 Lite versions.

thanks.

you're welcome


And for those of you looking to save a few extra MB's I bring you the
ENGLISH EXTREME EDITION @ 9.7 MB
This is a fully functional reader
- it is available in english only
- it has no help files (trying to access help will crash the reader)
- it has no updater features
- it has no runtime libraries

Get it from the usual source...

shark

[Ver Greeneyes]

Great, I only use AR to read pdfs anyway; what are the runtime libs for?

[rado354]

I just would like to say a HUGE thanks to Shark007!

By the way the 7.0.8 Lite worked for me from SVCPACK if I'm not wrong.
Is there going to be a 8.0 Lite SVCPACK compatible installer in the future?

Thanks once again for all these wonderful installers!

If you want to disable annoying autoupdate after install, just move the updater.api to the Optional folder.
Seems to work with other plugins too.

disableautoupdate.cmd:
rem # disable Autoupdate #
move "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\plug_ins\updater.*" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Optional"
