Foxit has been my favourite pdf reader for the past 3 years. It is extremely useful for people like me who update their hardware only once in several years because of its efficient use of computing resources.

I personally prefer Foxit to adobe reader... adobe reader, in my opinion, looks good and feels great, but if you have a good processor to support it... otherwise it makes you realize that you dont need any good looks for just viewing a pdf...

But foxit has some problems opening fdf files which reader manages to do flawlessly

Hmmm...
Nice to have alternatives to Adobe Reader (I always hated that thing). Personally I prefer SumatraPDF portable, a nice small freeware app. Of course, it won't display some files right, but it's a real lightweight and it works fine for me.

I liked this and used it for a while but found that there were a number of problems with font substitution on it that messed up the entire document, especially when printing, whereas the document would look and print fine using Adobe Reader. Didn't always happen, but happened enough to go back to Adobe.
