Favorite non-Adobe PDF reader?

Do you have a favorite non-Adobe PDF reader? I run PDF-XChange (free version) on my desktop, but recently got a laptop and, although I have no major complaints with PDF-XChange, I wanted to check and see if maybe there was something better out there first. Thanks!

I use Sumatra PDF. It is free, and very responsive.

Great. Thanks for the tip. I will certainly check that out.

Nuance PDF Pro

It's nice, it was the only one to convert back to Word or Excel, etc....before the newer versions of Adobe came out. And way cheaper the Adobe.

I use Evince in Linux, though it also comes in a Windows version. It is free, and it works great.

WNY - Thank you for the Nuance link! I've used Acrobat and liked it fine, but, it just seems like a virus target.

lsayre - Thanks, will check that out as well. 'Free' is of interest right now, as we just bought a stoker and filled the coal bin. It arrived today and we're picking it up in the morning.

Foxit : http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/

Has to be most popular one but I might be wrong.

Richard S: Appreciate the link for Foxit. Many thanks.

I use PDF-Xchange. After trying a whole bunch of them, I found that this one was the most responsive, the least bloated, and read/formatted pages properly.

Foxit used to be great, but became very bloated IMO.

Thanks for your input, Horace. I run PDF-XChange on the desktop now, but I guess you can't delete files from there unless you have the paid version. I do a lot of research online, and have an increasing glut of outdated/unwanted material. (when you say 'bloated', does that refer to the amount of memory it takes up?)

I look forward to finding a block of time in the next week or so, and having a look at all these suggestions.

Oh yeah.... nice signature. Do you know where I can buy some of that 'patience'?? I've already checked eBay, Amazon, Walmart, etc. lol!

Open Office as the alternative to everything.

Thanks. I'll have a look.
ps: You need a haircut.

I thought you just wanted a PDF reader. If you need to create and do some editing to PDfs, I use PDFill.

I don't often use it, but it's nice to have.

Very, very good point. I replaced MS Office with Open Office years ago and haven't looked back. The only area where it really lacks is with its database program. But, not many people still use (or ever used) Access, so it's understandable.

Not sure where you can buy patience. It seems that I inherited mine from my parents, and it comes with age, I guess.

In the Linux world OpenOffice appears to be being rapidly phased out and replaced by LibreOffice (which is identical to OpenOffice). There is a Windows version as well.
