Document Viewer Application Other than Acrobat
blibys
I work for a company that directly competes with an Adobe product.
Therefore, we do not want to promote Adobe by using Acrobat, but we do want
to make our documentation available in an application like Acrobat.
Can anyone suggest a comparable document viewer to Acrobat?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Bob,
Try Ghostview, WinHelp or HTML. WordPerfect may also still support a product
very similar to Acrobat called Envoy.

Corel has discontinued support for Envoy and is now using
Acrobat.

Corel Office 7 and WordPerfect Suite 7 both include the Envoy 7 driver,
compiler and distributable viewer. AFAIK, WP8 included the Envoy viewer but
not the driver or compiler. However, I've never used WordPerfect 8 for
Windows and that information comes from posts to the WPWIN-L list.
Unfortunately, Novell passed Envoy back to Tumbleweed who (AFAIK) have
discontinued the product.
AFAIK, Envoy is specific to Windows. The viewer is Windows 95/98 specific.
That is, I couldn't get the viewer to run on NT (but the compiled, run-time
files worked fine).
FWIW, WordPerfect 9 (aka WP2000) now ships with a cut-down version of
Acrobat but several users (including me) have had problems creating PDFs
using that version.

product. The fact that you compete with Adobe in some area should not
matter.
If you spend all your time worrying about Adobe and that takes away from the
time spent on developing that product that may compete with them...the law
of diminishing returns will come into play.

I just started using it a few days ago. It's free. It installs a menu item in Windows apps that lets you send the currently open document, web page, whatever, as a self-extracting executable. Very quick and easy. If you are sending to a cross-platform audience, then you send a .hot file instead of a .exe file; but that means everyone you are circulating to has to download and install the free viewer (differs by platform, obviously).
I'm a confirmed Acrobat user, but I do like HotSend and have gotten positive feedback on it.

But in more recent news, the 600-pound gorilla has entered the market. The
following story has caused a bit of a buzz in the document delivery
community:
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19991105/tc/microsoft_donnelley_5.html
I don't know that "Microsoft Reader" actually exists yet...
