I recently fell in love with Foxit’s free pdf reader. It sits on my desktop, takes up very little room and starts almost immediately. Added to the package is the brilliantly handy pdf-download Firefox extension, and I am a happy little vegemite. (For my non-Australian friends, that is very happy indeed.)
