Is this woman using a sex toy?


11:19:38 PM    

I downloaded and tried PDFExplorer.  Avoid this product.  It exhibits bizarre behavior and runs very slowly. 

Early indications of a problem:

  • Although I identified a different directory on a different drive than the default c:-program files-pdfexplorer 1.2 (I never install programs there), it ignored my choice and installed into a newly created directory under c:-program files anyway.
  • To add a PDF file to its database, some parameters have to be entered.  It will not accept an entry, though, without a category, but there was no obvious way to add a new category.  So I had to back out of the dialog and then go looking for the "add a category" button.
  • When I found the button, I hit it, and was brought right back to the same dialog I had seen before. 

This piece of garbage was immediately uninstalled from my system.
