*.pdf readers

I have to read a lot of portable document format files in my everyday life. The default reader for me was Adobe Reader, of course, but I grew tired of it being so slow, especially with big files. So now I'm on the lookout for a nice fast *.pdf reader. I've been trying out many programs, and the two best I've found so far are STDU Viewer and Foxit Reader. I use mostly Foxit reader at the moment, because it's the fastest I've ever tried and has a lot of useful and easy to use features, although STDU Viewer supports more document formats (*.djvu being the most important).

Well, I was just wondering - what do you use to read PDF files? Any other good programs out there? Preferably freeware.

Thanks in advance,
ivi

I can't help you, but I've got the same question. I was using acrobat 7 and the latest adobe reader, but when I updated to acrobat 8, that became my default firefox (the only browser I use) pdf reader. I'm gonna change it back to reader, but it'd be cool to find something smaller and quicker. I've got a fast laptop yet ther's signifigant disk lag when trying to load acrobat just to look at a simple form- for which I need none of acrobats features.

anyways, tried foxit... but I guess you can't launch pdf's in tabs in firefox with it... so that's kind of a deal breaker for me. Any suggestions would help
