Pretty neat. Fits on (4% of) a 32GB flash drive. And cross-document
hyperlinks work.
But Windows warns me:
Security Warning
The operation you are trying to perform potentially requires read access
to your drives. Do you want to allow this operation?
(Allow) (Block)
Sheesh! Why do they feel they must do that!? And is it portable? (I'll find
out
when I get home.) It says "drives", not "files".
And irritatingly, if I close the document page, the Search window goes away, and
I must re-launch Reader to go to another document. Silly design.
