I know others will disagree, but I have been using the Adobe reader again since version X, (now XI) (used Foxit before) and have had no issues as in the past. I do wish it had tabbed views though.
Suggestions for a free PDF Reader ?

Hi
I'm using the free PDF XChange Viewer and I'm quite happy with it.
Cheers,

Nitro PDF
Hi,
I used Foxit Reader for a long time but switched to Nitro PDF some time ago. I signed up using a disposable email address so that I could download it.
It does install a service that I keep set to disabled. Never had a problem with it.
Preferences are configured as shown in the following screenshot and also javascript is disabled (it's the setting below "internet access").
Nitro PDF does connect to the internet to send usage statistics and this is blocked by my firewall. I had to set it up to block connection manually.
I check for Nitro PDF program updates manually also.
It's not configured to display PDF content in my browser(s). Mostly I use the Cyberfox built in PDF viewer for online PDF viewing.

It seems some people are having issues the Foxit Cloud in the latest version.

I used Nuance at one time I haven't re-downloaded it though because I don't use or view pdf's much anymore but didn't have any issues with it before ?

I'm using Sumatra Portable one. It has very less print of about 8-14 MB when reading a 115 pages book. I guess it's a small one, ain't it?

Totally agree with you. The original and official Adobe Reader is the only thing you need, and since it's official and not a third party clone, it's has the best feature support we can get, and for free of course.
The only "crapware" it installs is a service that is used for automatic updates, which can be safely disabled (at the cost of need to update manually when needed) or easily blocked by firewalls to prevent it to phone home.

Adobe is a great reader, it's just so bloated...and big and uses much more resources than Foxit, Sumatra, and others.
