sumatra-shotIf you want to open pdf files is a good thing to download and use Acrobat Reader from Adobe. However, you may not want to use a lot of your hard drive free space and a lot of ram memory for Acrobat reader.

For example, Acrobat Reader has allmost 33 MB, and Sumatra only 1.2 MB.
I want to show you a better alternative. If you just want to open your pdf files, you don’t need bookmark navigation, or other advanced features, Sumatra PDF is the best solution. I only know the portable version which consist in just one .exe file. No installation required. Just run the exe, open the pdf you need, and that is all.

Sumatra PDF is not as good as Foxit reader described here but its advantages are: it is very small and you don’t need to install it. Plus, if you want to send a pdf file to someone, it is a good idea to send a copy of sumatra too. In this way you can be sure that persona is able to see your document.
