Are there any alternatives to Adobe Acrobat for Viewing and printing .pdf documents?? I received a document from a vendor and Acrobat and it will not allow me to print without logging into Adobe and continuously badgering me about a subscription...

You fell into the trap of installing the Adobe Acrobat Pro trial. Acrobat Pro is a subscription product and you should have installed the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. For most PDFs though, it is unnecessary.


Apple's Preview is included with the operating system but for certain PDFs, it may not handle them correctly and that is when Adobe Acrobat Reader proves useful.
