An Unknown Battle

Hello all.... this time I'm here with a very different topic and also should i say that a very interesting topic too.. We all know about the war of browsers where browser application from various companies try to outsmart the other. When we say internet browser the first thing comes in to our mind is Internet Explorer. Ya its true that much domination they have made in the browser battle. The one reason is the Operating system, Windows that has been used by majority of people. So they are almost compelled to used the IE. But for how long they can monopolize the browser business. That's why they are now having a very huge competition from companies like Google, Mozilla, Apple, Opera and so on. But this is not the battle I'm gonna speak about.


PDF files are almost very essential in our day to day life. But do we ever mind what kinda reader we use for reading PDF files. I guess most of the answer s are No. But you may ask is it really mandatory for knowing about the performances of PDF readers. Ya your question is valid and it may not make any difference for us. But for companies and developers whose application relies on high end PDF processing capabilities and PDF search filters, it is very important.

I use Foxit reader for PDF reading since my college days. The reason is slow loading and absence of tabbed interface in Adobe reader. But i was thinking that time that the foxit was yet another PDF reader and it's no way a competitor for Adobe. But now there was a heavy competition for providing PDF IFilter to Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services. The major competitors were Adobe and Foxit and foxit PDF IFilter has been selected by microsoft for its search indexing services.

According to Microsoft Blog,"Foxit 32bit PDF IFilter is more than 4 times faster than the Adobe one.On average, Foxit x64 PDF IFilter is still 5 times faster than the Adobe one. So if PDF indexing is the key to your business, go with Foxit to get a much better performance". Finally my favorite PDF reader had won the Giant Adobe in this battle.

So whats the moral of the story: "You don't need to worry about who's your competition is. But you need to worry only on how you are gonna beat your rival, that's what important".

So try Foxit reader it is very light and I'm sure that you'll really gonna love it.
Bye all! will cya soon ..
