Foxit is much light-weight than Adobe.

If you need features, then Nitro. If performance, then Foxit.

I also prefer Sumatra PDF. That's the lightest one around.

I think we have a nice thread here ( and few more to ) regarding this :

Sumatra is pretty good but Foxit has some basic editing and selection features without which I can't live so I prefer Foxit Reader.

I have tried Foxit Reader, go some striking ads on right hand side. Found it annoying.

 

[gameranand]

Well you an disable them from settings. I don't see any ads at all.

I too find foxit the best!

Foxit if the best PDF client I ever came across. Loads fast. Isn't a bloat.

though this is irrelevant to this thread and if you guys don't criticize me I can vouch for Acrobat Reader 11 - it's a lot faster, smoother and better than any previous version.

 

[gameranand]

Maybe. Haven't used Adobe in a long time, maybe they improved.

 

[whitestar_999]

my reason for preferring sumatra besides its small footprint is security.a few years ago there was a security vulnerability discovered in the way pdf file preview is generated which allow execution of code even by just single click to select the modified pdf file(not even double-click) & almost all pdf readers were affected(including foxit newest versions but not older versions) except sumatra & a few obscure ones.since pdf is a good exploit target along with ms office documents it is better to use small & not so popular pdf reader like sumatra because popular ones always gets targeted first & also because of their ever increasing feature set.

Agree. Also for compatibility reasons, I always keep Adobe installed at least on one system.

But it still creates the useless desktop shortcut.

I will recommend FOXIT PDF READER and NITRO PDF READER
Both are must have software..

 

[axes2t2]

Yup Foxit.
