"The Adobe Replacement"
Version: Foxit Reader 3.1.4.1125
Pros
Easily allows clear , fast access to my PDF game manuals when I need them , loads very fast
Cons
Contains toolbar-ware , tries to sell you out in favor of extra features but I did not get tempted.
Summary
I was not happy with the speed and performance of Adobe Acrobat Reader so I installed this. I noticed an 80 percent speedup in the loading of my PDF files I use all the time. It includes toolbars and value added icons, but you can opt out at the cost of a few less features. Still though, it installs faster then Adobe, and loads in a jiffy. This is a must have for a replacement for Adobes slug of a PDF reader.

"it wont print properly!"
Version: Foxit Reader 3.1.4.1125
Pros
The pages load up alot quicker than with adobe. It functions normally for the most part.
Cons
When i try to print a document, the alignment is all wrong and often it prints diagonally and not in the middle of the page. It's for this reason that i will go back to Adobe, really a pity.
Summary
This program is great for viewing large pdfs without lag, but the print function needs to be fixed!

"Very Functional and Lightweight"
Version: Foxit Reader 3.1.4.1125
Pros
Renders .pdf files well. Seems lightweight, also has less security holes.
Cons
The controls are different than Adobe Reader, but I'm getting used to it.
Summary
Foxit Reader does a good job of rendering .pdf documents. I still make sure that javascript is turned off as I did with Adobe Reader, but it seems to be a lot lighter weight and isn't always looking for updates. Due to the lighter weight, I gather that there are less possible security holes than in Adobe Reader, which seems to be one big security risk. However, this is my intuition speaking, based on past experience and lack of MS security bulletins and critical security updates for it.
So I'm pretty happy with it.
