I wrote a post detailing the flaws of PDF and then downloaded the latest version of Adobe's PDF reader to check the same applied to that - I was using an alternative as last time I had it installed it was abysmal.
I'm impressed, They've certainly done a lot of work on it recently. It's not perfect, it never will be on a fixed layout format on a 96dpi screen, but the readability is far better than it was four or five years ago. They've even added an option to turn off font smoothing which I never thought I'd see from Adobe (at least for the document, the interface still looks rubbish).
The fast scrolling is still lumpy and it wants me to restart my system just to install an updated version, but it wouldn't be Adobe if it all worked well
