There are several smaller, lighter, faster PDF viewers. I switched to Foxit Reader for this exact reason.


And for some, Foxit is too crufty, so they opt for Sumatra, or now use Google Chrome.


Indeed. Competition in the PDF viewer space (not to mention browser) is a wonderful thing.


Or Emacs!


I needed Reader because a bank uses a form that can only be submitted online via some weird Reader PDF feature. Believe me, I don't use it for anything else.
