I use PDFExchange. I used to use FoxIt, but it began to show ads, so I dropped it like a bear taking a cr@p in the woods.

Nice analogy. 
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking. Just barge in will'Ya?

Thank you for your suggestion swampwiz!
I've seen it and the interface has killed me, also the fact they are not updating the reader anymore as they want you to use the normal product with plenty of options cut out as they are paid options.
I've tested Nitro and Sumatra on a virtual machine as nitro seems to be the alternative to foxit and Sumatra has been the most suggested one.
Both are fast on my computer, Nitro seems to do more things, but it also installs a printer driver which in my case is not needed so I've decided to go the Sumatra way. By now it works as expected.
Thank you again!

I opted to not install a pdf reader. I just use either chrome or Torch (a chrome based browser with extra features). It's one less app/program to maintain.

Thank you for your suggestion Rollin!
Not using Chrome (Edge here) and the built in reader in Edge doesn't show the index at the left side of the document so reading certain kind of docs is a PITA.

... a report about heavy rain and flooding in San Antonio. I did not spot it in the report, but I heard that rafting with a Mustang is now all the rage there.
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.
Please don't reply explaining what method overloading is

The Mustang is well protected and not subject to the possibility of flooding. Besides, what everyone else
calls flooding is just a puddle in texas - nothing to worry about.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Somehow, that comment seems to lactose inspirational tones I've become used to.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Just becuz I posted this b4 OrigGriff doesn't mean he's too slo to get it up.

Any discussion of my ability to get it up should probably be soapbox material.

The one we've all suffered, now and then.
This is a webpage developed via php with javascript accessing DOM to measure and limit the number of characters in a <textarea>. Really easy - done in no-time, even with the design tweaking.
Works on my machine. So, I pass off a link to the appropriate page to my boss (who needed this) and it doesn't do a thing except initialize. No reaction to text (onkeyup, onblur). He sends it off to another IT user - also doesn't work.
So, this AM I try it on a VM (I normally work from a real computer) - figuring that my box's setup is the problem. Nope. Works on the VM, too.
Now I have to wait for a willing soul to come in and send them the link - and see what happens. If it works on theirs (or not) there's still a problem and I cannot see it to find it, let alone know if I fixed it. No warnings in the debugger.
Something of a deja vu. Maybe even a deja vu deja vu (having a feeling of deja vu that you feel you've had, before).
Eventually, I'll beat it, but I anticipate much frustration in the path.
[update]
So - I sent my boss a detailed step-by-step for using the FireFox debugger.
He did note that his VM version worked, his local machine didn't
As he stepped through from the break point I had him set (local machine), everything worked.
He closed his browser, restarted it, and now it all works.
Something, somewhere, was reset - and perhaps we'll never know.
Makes me think of something akin to unstuffing a stuffed latrine with a plunger
