I like it because it's 1.2 MB, and Adobe Reader is 109 MB. But, it doesn't have a reader on the web, so I have to download it. But, so far, it's better the Adobe Reader. I just installed Sumatra PDF.

It's supposed to make Adobe Reader load faster and react faster by suppressing unneccesary plug-ins.

I have tried Foxit Reader, Sumatra reader, Cool PDF Reader and EasyReader. NONE of them can handle complex documents. They especially have problems with spreadsheets and graphics in columns.On websites, I often have to include a warning to readers, that these programs will not show downloaded files accurately - even annual reports and financial statements come out wrong using these programs.I keep trying alternatives to Adobe because I hate it, but have not yet found the cure.

I keep trying alternatives to Adobe because I hate it, but have not yet found the cure.

Good stuff. Adobe Reader is indeed total bloatware. They also cant seem to stop with the nagging popups that you need to do this or do that. I have been using Foxit for a few years now. Good stuff.
