[Tao of Mac] You Need No Further Evidence That Software Is Bloated… When you discover that Adobe’s latest iteration of their Acrobat PDF Reader has a built-in RSS aggregator.
Yes, that’s exactly what Adobe Reader needed.
More proof that Furrygoat’s Law is still alive and kicking in 2007.

That’s idiotic. I switched to Fox-It Reader lsat year and haven’t looked back.

From what I understand, the ability to pull and display “RSS feeds” is just a variant on the prior ability to pull and display XML-formatted form data.
If you’re seeking a lightweight PDF display ability, rather than the free Adobe Reader’s broader collaborative and authentication abilities, then check into the 2.5M Adobe Digital Editions, now in early beta on Adobe Labs:
