Adobe Alternative

Hi All
I am wondering if there is a free alternative to Adobe Reader out there.

Thanks

Adobe Reader is free itself. Are you having problems with the reader?

My wife is, she working in africa, I sent her a link to the lastest download, but was hoping to find an alternative also for her, just in case.
Thanks

Does she just want to read PDF files? A search of Tucows revealed these, but I haven't tried them personally.

If your wife isn't using Windows there are others available for Unix.

Foxit here, too. It's much smaller, much faster, and it isn't Adobe.
