Hello,

I think that this thread would be better located in the Community Café forum. Thus I am moving it there.

Evince = 6066K
libpoppler2 = 1704K
libpoppler-glib2 = 205K

Not including the fact that all proprietary software has its own interface skin.

Well, I guess Adobe decided that if you have a large enough HD for Vista and aren't complaining that it uses up enough space you ought to have enough room for a huge program too.

You should see how much ram it takes when opening pdfs that are large in terms of pages...

If you want a small open source windows PDF reader, try Sumatra PDF (http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/)
Less than 1mb single .exe
It offers basic functionality.

If you need more stuff then get foxit.

You are lucky. The Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 I just installed in Windows XP takes 128 Mb of hard disk space. And this XP is on VMware server I have in Ubuntu. Because I have allocated only 2.5Gb to this virtual machine I am really pissed off.:shock:

i've noticed a lot of windows users have replaced Foxit with Sumatra, like andrewabc mentioned. there's this one too - PDF-XCHANGE VIEWER
