Does anyone have a link to a
small PDF program to run on XP ( so far with SP2 installed ) that does not have any unwanted additions such as Google tool bar etc? Most sites/links etc I have seen give me' unwanted additions '!!
PDF Creator is popular and I have always managed to install it without any additional tool bars (but from memory it does offer to install something but it is an option).

From your other topic... I would install SP3 and all subsequent updates to your system before installing any additional programs.
These additional programs may require SP3 be installed.
Are you looking for a PDF reader or creator ?
If a reader, then I use Foxit Reader, you've just got to remember to de-select any pre-selected toolbars that come with it when you install. I've used it for years and as far as I'm aware it runs OK on XP.

I am seeking a PDF
reader..as small as possible really
I was ( may be wrongly ) of the impression that such was a part of XP?
Do you have a good link to Foxit
or some other PDF program that is small and has no unwanted attachements?
All I currently need presently is to be able to open PDF files

Use the link against Foxit Reader, and make sure you choose the appropriate OS from the drop down list. By default it's set to Windows 32/64 bit, which is the one you want.
When you're installing it, make sure you
uncheck the 2 pre-checked options to install Foxit PDF Creator Toolbar, which is really just the Ask Toolbar in disguise.
