Adobe Alternative

Can anyone recommend a good, free alternative to Adobe Acrobat Reader? One that doesn't take forever to load.

Thanks!

Aye, Foxit gets my vote; loads in seconds and that's no lie.

However, on my flash drive I use SumatraPDF Portable from portableapps and that loads in seconds too.

I use foxit as well.

Although, Adobe Reader 9 is much improved performance-wise at least. It doesn't take eons to load anymore.
