"Light, fast and trustworthy!"
Pros: It is not bloated and takes command over you PC when updating.
Cons: None that I know!
Summary: Well Adobe Reader is bloated and suddenly also takes charges of your PC when Adobe Systems chooses to update. You can not do anything about this but uninstalling the crap-ware. Adobe Reader is, as I said, bloated which is illustrated by opening a PDF... read more

Cons: No enough features. does not handle password protected files well. sometimes the characters don't show properly.
Summary: Good Initiative. Lot to improve. As of now, Foxit suits the best for me. read more

Version: Sumatra PDF Viewer 0.9
"Free & open source, light-weight & quick to open"
Pros: If you just want to read PDF's and nothing else, then this is very good. There's not much to say other than it does that job as it should. Adobe is a memory hog, Foxit has adverts and nags you to upgrade. Sumatra is light on memory use with no ads.
Cons: It's a simple program for just reading PDF's, this isn't a con unless you want to do more than just read them.
Summary: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/index.html - That's the page that i downloaded Sumatra PDF viewer from. Someone else said they had problems downloading it on cnet. read more

"uses little resources. works on slower computers"
Pros: Low on resources. Runs fast. installed on older computers and runs much faster than adobe.
Cant seem to download on cnet but i was able to get it at author's site:

Use at your own risk. its not cnet.Cons: program keeps it simple (both good and bad). perhaps may run into compatibility issue but no problems yet.
Summary: if you use a slower computer, this program is great. keeps it simple and fast. on the other hand, probably wont notice speed difference on faster computers, and not sure if you would miss all the features on full-blown adobe reader. read more
