      <title>Adobe Reader X (For Editing)</title>
      <description>Adobe Reader X seems like a good program for editing.
I use the following settings for going over my novel for the first edit: Single Page View, Zoom to Page Level, and Reading Mode.

You can highlight sections with the new highlight tool, and add notes to them by right clicking and selecting 'Open Pop-Up Note'. Then you can see a list of your notes and their page numbers on the sidebar.
You can colour code them too, e.g. red for delete, green for rephrase.

There's also a read aloud option, to help filter out awkward sentences.

If you change the background colour (OpenOffice - Page - Background, then set margins to 0 and the border margins to whatever you want) and the font face/colour before you export to PDF, it will stay like that in Adobe Reader X.

I hope this helps with editing? Intended more at the first read through rather than finer details, but I suppose it could work at any stage.

(You can only use strike through, font colours and edit the text in Adobe Acrobat, but you can use notes and highlighting in both applications.)</description>

      <description>I just discovered Adobe Reader X a short time ago and posted about it in the Novel Aftercare forum.

On one computer, my laptop with Windows 7, it updated up to X automatically. On my desktop which only has XP, I had to go to the Adobe site and download it.

I've been using it for the editing I'm doing with my novel and I enjoy using it. Just love putting those postit notes on the page.</description>
