Nitro Pdf, you have a PDF reader and creator in same time without the need of a third party apps (ghostscript,etc...)

If you looking for the smallest PDF reader, give Sumatra PDF a try. It's definitely no frills, but it's very quick.

I've used both Sumatra and Foxit over the years, but I wasn't very pleased with their rendering quality. I use the free PDF-XChange Viewer. Not as light as Foxit, but quite a bit lighter than Adobe. It's full featured and the PDF's look great.

None. I use SumatraPDF for local files and Chrome has a built-in PDF viewer for online viewing, which can also Print to PDF.

You can use CutePDF, for web browsers that can't print to PDF.

I use Foxit because its easy to use and i use to always use Adobe but after all the security risks and how heavy it can be at times i replaced it :)

Same as HeffeD, PDF-XChange Viewer is almost as light as Foxit [which has had it's own fair share of mild controversy over installing toolbars, etc.], which I've also used and a credit should be given to its lightness and speed. I also use NitroPDF Professional, which is pretty good, but getting too close for comfort to Adobe. Tried Nitro PDF Reader for a while, it just felt a bit "middle of the road"...

I.m using Foxit reader and it's great, I would use Adobe but at this point it's the most tageted company by the bad guys so I don't want want to take any risk..

I was just using Sumatra PDF and I thought of trying out Foxit Reader again. Replaced Sumatra PDF with this one since it's just as fast and it renders better than the latter.

For me Foxit Reader, beside of its an alernative PDF reader. Size of installer is really cut down unlike to Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader has a bad reputation since Adobe failed to patch exploited bugs on time. Nitro PDF Reader offers many features but it seemed slower to me compared with Foxit. PDF-XChange Viewer and Foxit Reader are my favorites.
