In order to do my SARS tax efiling I needed the Adobe Reader installed. Up till now I have managed without it due to Google Chrome having a built in PDF reader as well as having the Mac OSX default PDF viewer. SARS is using some specific PDF form-filing functionality which I guess only Adobe supports. So, no problem I think, I just quickly download and install Reader from Adobe. Not. 415megs of app. What? To render PDF files? Have they gone mad? No wonder Steve Jobs got fed up with Adobe and dumped Flash. 415megs!
