 Tapani Kuusisto: Should be: ..readable on any _windows_pc_... forget macs and Linuxes! [2006-11-12 05:05]

 Henny: I Agree with Tapane "Portable" is not the case.This sofware stinks, Only thing PDF2Exe and CoolPDFReader does is make JPEG's from every PDF page and prosses this. See the mess it makes in our temp directory. Cannot believe
this Spanish firm makes a business with professional
PDF software. [2006-11-12 12:28]

 a: i dont think adobe pdf even supports linux.. [2006-11-12 20:05]

 indy Ram: Many of the email servers reject exe files not pdf files
Hence it is of no use to convert pdf to an exe
Something to think about [2006-11-13 06:44]

 Jim Barr: In a perfect world, this would be an EXCELLENT concept making PDF viewing and distribution even easier. The problem is that we don't live in a perfect world, and there are too many people sending malicious applications posing as PDF or EXE files. If you can use it within trusted/trusting circles, go for it, but just be careful using it for public distribution/exchange. [2006-11-13 11:44]

 BruceW: Free PDF readers (Adobe's or otherwise) are so common and easy to obtain that I'm wondering how necessary it is to offer an alternative format, especially one that wouldn't work on Macs or Linux systems. If I knew for sure that my audience were all Windows users, I guess I might consider distributing .EXE files, but if it were up to me I'd prefer that everyone just had some kind of PDF reader. [2006-11-14 06:45]

 Juhász László: Thanks [2007-12-04 08:30]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
