Foxit was noted as one of the best free choices. Two out of two responses choose it, so do I.
Much appreciated! :salute:
What's wrong with Adobe Reader?
Am I missing something here?
Adobe reader is slower and slows your start up processOriginally Posted by Chris Keane
If you're like me and only need the basics, this is the obvious choice: very lightweight, very fast, opens a bunch of filetypes:

Not on my system, and of course, you simply block it from running at start up if that is a problem.

Hello,
I use the pdf-xchange-viewer
http://www.tracker-software.com/prod...xchange-viewer
This free software View/Modify or perform simple editing of PDF files. I like this feature specially when I scan pages of a aviation magazine. The result of the scan process is often that pages are partly upside down. Using the software I can replace the page in the correct position.
Have a good day

My reasoning for not wanting Adobe Reader is mainly due to size of installed files, as I want to keep things down to a minimum as a rule.
I also recommend Foxit, but not the latest because it has become bloated like Adobe. This older build is much smaller, lighter and faster: http://www.oldversion.com/windows/fo...eader-2-0-1516
Even better BP. A very small foot print! Much appreciated.
Yep, older versions of Foxit. Sad to see many great freeware programs end up becoming bloatware.

Yeah another vote for Foxit, just watch you untick the options for extra browsers and tool bar crap
Windows 8.
It's doesn't need one. Reading pdf files is a default function.

Windows 8 might be considered an extreme case of bloatware for reading PDF files though...
I just couldn't resist.
On the serious side though, the W8 version opens pdf files really fast and seems not to be the resource hog running in the background like Adobe had become. Even saying that, I may still at some point install Adobe back in, as I like the Adobe pdf search function better than the W8 search. Time will tell on that one.
FAC
Same here, Foxit! Works much faster than Adobe.
