SumatraPDF is favored for its lightweight, open-source design, supporting multiple formats, and handling vector graphics effectively.

    Sumatra is a good alternative because 1) wide range of formats supported, and 2) it's open source.

    Foxit can edit PDF files too. Sumatra is just a viewer.

    This is the best I'm aware of for now: You can remove or add annotations anytime, even after saving the document (unlike Okular). Most effectively clear interface (unlike Adobe Acrobat). Only bothering thing : the ad ribbon on the top-right for upgrading to a paid plan. BUT you get rid of it by selecting "Comment" or "View" in toolsbar and continue reading.

    It's good, but clunky. I'll keep looking for something a little smoother but until then it's a good move to get away from Foxit.

    How it deals with comments is great and it's open source, on any platform I use.
