Acrobat Reader RdrCEF


Destined

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I noticed today that upon opening a pdf-doument (the very interesting read shared by Judith here) my computer was working quite much. When I looked into the process manager, I noticed that a new background process (RdrCEF.exe) is started along with the Acrobat reader that uses 30-45% of my CPU and 170-250 MB RAM! According to a quick google search it continuously sends data to Amazon. As many people on this forum are quite picky regarding internet security, I wanted to make you aware of this point and will search for another pdf-viewer myself today.

 

Best regards,

Destined

 

Edit: I just noticed that apparently this problem is acutally quite old (most things I found are from 2015), but it appeared just today for me, so either it is a problem solely for me or it is currently resurfacing, but I think it is stil worth checking.

Another vote for XChange; it has the best font rendering of the non-Adobe Windows PDF viewers I've tried. (Some of them can be startlingly bad with certain documents: my testbed is the manual from Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.)

if you are on windows 10 pdf files get loaded into microsoft edge. completely avoids using the dodgy reader. although microsoft edge is rather dodgy but you dont get the adverts that you get if you use it as a web reader.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
