Default pdf reader - windows font rendering.

I don't have an LCD screen. I don't care about print rendering.

Does anyone know of a PDF viewer that does screen rendering the MS Windows
way? Perhaps using the IE rendering engine?

I'm forced to read more and more pdf documents, and I'd rather not have to
print them out.

Uninstall all versions of Adobe (Acrobat) Reader and then either install the
newest version from Adobe or install Foxit:

I don't have any Adobe installed on my PC: I was using Foxit.

I followed your suggestion, and downloaded Adobe Acrobat
Reader 8.1. It uses a print-faithful rendering process.

If you are interested, and did not understand the question, please
see the reference that I provided:

If you would like to compare IE/Windows screen rendering to
normal PDF rendering, look at these demo pages:

I'm reading the fine print on finely-printed documents. I'd like a PDF
viewer that is not cross-platform, but is specifically designed to do
screen rendering the MS way on a MS platform, perhaps using the
IE rendering engine. Does anyone know of a PDF viewer like that?
