Good viewer

Review by klo about Sumatra PDF 15 days ago

This is excellent PDF viewer, but we should not forget that it's excellence is due to creators of MuPDF renderer, around which this lightweight GUI is build.

For other supported formats, I'd recommend dedicated viewers instead SumatraPDF

Best of three options tries

Positive Review by Superbest about Sumatra PDF Adobe Reader Foxit Reader Nov 2011

I tried Adobe's reader, Foxit, and Sumatra. Sumatra is the best.

Sumatra does everything that a sane person would expect from a pdf viewer, and nothing more. It is very lightweight and fast. It will get the job done just about every time.

A caveat is that I have encountered some pdfs with funny encoding, and they wouldn't display or print correctly (text showed up as boxes) in Sumatra. For those files, foxit never worked either, but Adobe Reader did, so keep it around (or keep it mind) for those occasions. Sumatra PDF is still the best default pdf viewer.
