Favourite PDF reader

[ico]

I use Sumatra. Very light.

Foxit is the best. Been using Acrobat reader but it is too slow and not at all lightweight. Acrobat reader always updates eating away bandwidth.
Never heard of the rest though.

^^ you can disable acrobat updates and if you have a beefy system running Acrobat reader should not be a big problem - it's main strength is in reading multimedia embedded pdf files though I do agree Foxit is super fast on most pcs

I used Foxit because it was lighter , but one day it didn;t show anything when i tried to open an important document, so since then i have only been using Adobe Reader

^^ You must have interrupted an update. Or else this doesn't happen!

have been using Adobe Reader till now. One annoying this is the frequent updates. I guess, i have updated Adobe reader more number of times than i actually used it.

after going through the posts, will be trying foxit.

if you want lightweight, use sumatraPDF, or MuPDF, both are much lighter and faster than either acrobat or foxit

Foxit is the best!!

have you even read what has been posted so far?
also, its not a matter of being best.
if you want functionality, adobe acrobat or nitro pdf are good
if you want speed, and lightweight software, choose muPDF.

personally, i use sumatraPDF.

Foxit reader for me.very fast to load.
Rarely come across pdf files with multimedia so no adobe reader for me.

I know when this thread started I was going for foxit, but recently one bug/special feature drives me crazy in foxit. Safe reading mode is on by default. That makes clicking a link in pdf a chore.
This is nightmare for the pdf author's point of view, as average user does not care much to go into the details and switch off the safe reading mode as he/she is too scared to mess up with the default settings.
So thumbs down for foxit for me
