No Adobe Reader?
Since PDF is a relative newcomer to the Free Format scene, I still use mostly postscripts and DJVs.

on a related note, does anyone know of a nimble pdf reader for windows? trusty ol evince didn't have win binaries last time i looked, and adobe acrobat makes me want to vomit.

I'm rather partial to Foxit, but I wouldn't call that lightweight. Sumatra, maybe?

I also liked epdfview which has a few less dependencies than evince, but then I got tired of noting the page I'm on every time I exit the program.

i realized that evince sucks in viewing latex compiled PDFs which contain vectoral images or EPSs. okular therefore!

What? I use vector pdf/eps images generated with xfig and metapost in my LaTeX documents all the time and never had a problem with evince.

One doesn't read PDF files. One either does as above, or one cuts and pastes.;)

Acrobat... and why not!? :D
I also quite like Gmails view PDF function for PDF received in email.

Sumatra PDF for windows:
http://kjkpub.s3.amazonaws.com/sumatrapdf/rel/SumatraPDF-1.0.1-install.exe
Its Open Source...
As for Linux, Evince.

If Apvlv remembered last page, it would be my favourite.
Since it apparently doesn't, Evince.
