So I recently got Adobe reader with the latest update.. do I need to update it again since then?

The PDF reader that came with my EVO seems to render and zoom faster than Adobe's own and it lets me skip straight to a specific page. I'll probably keep Adobe's installed but I'll keep using this for now, I think it's by the QuickOffice people.

"Go to page"

Oh yeah? Where?

You know I finally deleted the Adobe PDF reader once I realized that DocumentsToGo makes a far superior (although still with a way to go) PDF reader for Android than Adobe does.

But isn't this the case everywhere? I mean there are a lot of PDF readers for desktop that beat the hell out of Adobe's offering too so I'm not too surprised.

The HTC one was great, but they (or Orange) messed it up doing the Froyo upgrade so now reflow doesn't work.

As I mentioned earlier, there's no sign of the `go to page` option on the HTC Desire on Orange(UK). It seems some people have this problem; others done. Adobe is one of those big companies which work at glacial speed so I look forward to a fix for the Gingerbread version...
