Is Adobe Reader Important

Answer 1

Many never use it, you only need it to view files in PDF etc. i would only download if you need it or are prompted to do so for something necessary and only then from Adobe's site and not someone else s.

Answer 2

NO, you do not. It's the "default" program for PDF (portable document format, i think) files, and Adobe may very well have created the PDF. However, there are many other programs that let you read and even edit PDF files -- some of them arguably better than Adobe Reader. I use Foxit Reader, which can be downloaded from download.com (and no, i have no vested interest in promoting this product!). I find that it loads more quickly and uses less system resources than Adobe Reader, formerly known as Adobe Acrobat.

In the extremely rare instance that you never come across a PDF document, you would not need to have any such program on your computer.

Answer 3

Yes, Acrobat reader is a important application software as it it helps reading a pdf file, which is a standard file used for exchanging information on computers.
