[infestor]

must...vote...

[gnomeuser]

I am an evince man

[infestor]

i havent really tested the others except xpdf...it is much faster than evince but sucky ui

[Greg]

Evince's spot saving feature won me over.

[Simon17]

No Adobe Reader?

Since PDF is a relative newcomer to the Free Format scene, I still use mostly postscripts and DJVs.

[infestor]

i dont know if it is related to hardware speed but in mac os x (on macbook pro) acrobat reader is insanely fast

[jazzybob]

Acrobat! Bad habits are hard to break (since acrobat 2.0)

[earthpigg]

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?

[Minishark]

ePDFView does the trick for me!!

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.

[Psumi]

evince, since it comes with Ubuntu.

[Ric_NYC]

Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer (by Google).

A extension for Google Chrome.

"view as html"

[x33a]

I use evince-gtk, and it's blazingly fast.

[infestor]

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

[speedwell68]

Evince, does everything it says on the tin.:D

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.

"view as html"

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

[JoeSolo]

Acrobat... and why not!? :D

I also quite like Gmails view PDF function for PDF received in email.

Sumatra PDF for windows:

Its Open Source...

As for Linux, Evince.

[Crunchy the Headcrab]

Evince for me. Okular makes me sick *barf*

[Isengrin]

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

ePDFView does the trick for me!!
