"Like a Virus!! Can't uninstall/get rid of this junk!!"
Version: Sumatra PDF Viewer 1.1
Pros
It wasn't what I was looking for, and now I can't get rid of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
Can't get rid of it.
Summary
It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, which is fine. But, when I can't get rid of a program, that's unacceptable. There is no uninstall option, and there is even a forum discussion on this at Sumatra's site from 4 months ago, so this is a known issue. Completely unacceptable.

"Less bloat equals more usability"
Version: Sumatra PDF Viewer 1.1

no trick questions when installing like foxit asks you about the ask.com toolbar

"Excellent alternative pdf reader"
Version: Sumatra PDF Viewer 1.1
Pros
Lightweight pdf reader
- a functional, minimalistic gui (lacks the toolbar seen in foxit - on that note the are no additional addons, errm . . . ask toolbar )
- command line capablilty :)
- organized manual for keyboard shortcutsCons
- printing is slow
- rendering (opening) a portable document format can be slower than other mainstream readers (negligible).
- pdf reader only; lacks options to convert files, create pdfs and insert comments.Summary
Recommended to those who are looking for quality pdf reader to replace insecurities with Adobe reader and foxit reader (and the annoying ask toolbar - understand what you are gonna put on your hard drive and don't install it; its is painless to remove however).
Installation smooth without any glitches or addons
SumatraPDF is an open source application !!
Further, Sumatra can be used to replace the acrobat plugin on IE and Firefox without uninstalling acrobat - just look in the provided "manual"
Performs its function to the t ! -
"Very Good!"
Version: Sumatra PDF Viewer 1.1
Pros
Quick, clean and simple. Installation is a snap and it works as advertised. No frills, just open and view a PDF. That's exactly what I wanted.
Cons
None so far.
