Using Foxit so far...can't remember when I last used Adobe Reader. Foxit is good, but sometimes the text gets garbled, i.e. a part of one word overlaps the next word. Have you guys faced such a problem?

^^ I've faced these minor glitch on the old versions of foxit and zooming into that portion solved the prob most of the time.

@ a_rahim - so for some multimedia content embedded pdf file we still need adobe acrobat reader and it's available for linux too - can you try with that ?

have you guys ever tried Nitro PDF reader ( it's has a pro version too ) - it has earned decent ratings in some magazines.

I guess Foxit Reader is my choice. I used Adobe Reader for quite some time but then I realised I just couldn't waste 200MB of disk on a PDF reader. When I used Foxit, it was light-weight, easy to use and just felt good!!

Foxit's the best one. The ONLY issue I feel is that it 'sometimes' fails to open certain docs, for which I have to use Adobe Reader. But, it has happened to me maybe 4-5 times till date.
