#2I use SumatraPDF almost every day and I love it. It is very rare these days to have an application that is all of the following:
- Small and fast
- Hand-crafted for a particular platform
- Not bloated with oddly specific UI menus and configuration settings
It has one job and it does it very well. Thank you for it.

Sumatra is the best PDF Reader. It's sad that the developer isn't making much money from that excellent product.

#5Sumatra is one of the first things I install on new Windows setups. Something refreshing about having PDFs open instantly. Screw adobe. Microsoft Edge meets my needs when it comes to PDF signing

#9I installed this on a whim a long time ago, thinking I was getting a mediocre pdf reader. Little did I know, I was getting a fantastic pdf reader that I would continue using for many, many years to come. I recommend it to anyone unsure what pdf reader to get. Here's to another many years!
