What is Sumatra PDF?
Sumatra PDF is a slim, free, open-source PDF viewer for Windows. Portable out of the box.
Why another PDF reader?
Sumatra has a minimalistic design. Simplicity has a higher priority than a lot of features.
It's small and starts up very fast.
It's designed for portable use: it's just one file with no external dependencies so you can run it from external USB drive.

Why use overbloated Adobe Reader that takes forever to load...?
Use SumatraPDF..I've used it and I love it..
Portable, Fast and FREE ;)

after about 200+ pages, it just quit. :'(
must be a feather-weight reader. ahwell back to AR.

Another drawback is you can't select and copy text. It is purely a reader, that is all. Slim as mentioned.

Yeap displayed one of my 2 page documents into one page by clumping it all up :(

I am using PDF-XChange. I like it more than Sumatra. It hasn't the same small size as Sumatra, but it's fast too, easy to use and has intelligible interface. It's most feature rich alternative to Acrobat available. And FREE.
