PDF Wackyness

My husband has been setting up a netbook for his mom. He was shocked and appalled by how big Adobe Acrobat Reader is... he kept muttering about PDF being an open standard.



He asked me how big the "whole thing" is.



I did some comparisons.



It does seem odd that Adobe Photoshop CS3 + Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 + Adobe Flash CS3 + Adobe Illustrator CS3 disk space = 76% of (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9) disk space.

And yes, my desktop color theme is "Spruce."
