Having to restart, resize and find your last place within 1000's of pages of a pdf in order to reference a written document when you have deadline. Why take a perfectly good system and ruin it, I wonder what genius over at Microsoft thought that up.

I went to the link you provided and downloaded the correct version of Adobe Reader and now it is much more user friendly and I can print successfully!

But for god sakes why would you put a reader app that just irritates everybody because it doesn't do much to begin with.
