Honestly, I've had it with Adobe
People complain about microsoft for shipping bloatware but Adobe is the worst one of all. It is ALWAYS the slowest pieces of software on my machine, and I run a rather powered machine. And its constantly full of security holes and bugs. I've always hated pdf format and it seems each week I have less and less reason to like it.

SO with that in mind, does anyone know of a good, light-weight alternative to adobe reader that will allow me to view .pdfs?

Thank you!
