> Why do people need PDF readers anyway? Chrome browser and all the major OSs ship with one.
Because:
- Lost of places on the web, in particular official pages of various government institutions, are still stuck in the age of recommending Acrobat as required to open PDFs.
- Default readers, much like browsers themselves, are woefully inadequate for anything other than casual reading. In case of PDF, it's something where you'd like to be able to edit PDF forms and have a working annotation functionality.
Myself, I use a third party PDF reader on Windows (Drawboard PDF), because it's very touch and pen friendly - and I like to annotate my PDFs, for which a pen-capable device is extremely well-suited.
