Software: Foxit PDF Reader
I've always hated Adobe Reader's slow load times, but always assumed it was the only free PDF viewer out there. Now, thanks to Wikipedia's article on PDFs, I know otherwise...
Just discovered a wonderful little free PDF viewer called Foxit Reader. Not only is it free, but, even more importantly, considering that Adobe Reader is also free, it is (unlike Adobe Reader) small, fast, and it doesn't force you to install the annoying Yahoo! toolbar. And, since it's a single executable file, you can even carry it around with you on your USB flash drive to use on those poor computers you visit that don't have Foxit Reader installed!
I highly recommend Foxit Reader for PDF viewing, and will be recommending that people use it instead of Adobe's slow, toolbar-laden, bloatware, from now on!
PS: Oh, yes, and, while I'm advocating the use of free PDF software, I should also mention that no computer should be without PDFCreator, a free, open-source, virtual printer that allows you to print absolutely anything that can be printed on your computer as a PDF!
