Free PDF Alternative - Foxit Reader

[kcnychief]

I did search quickly and hadn't seen this yet posted, so I wanted to share this nifty little application.

The best part of this program is that obviously it's free, requires no installer, and leaves less than a 3MB footprint on your Hard Disk. If you want to use a free PDF Writer to go along with it, try out PDFCreator.

I tried FoxIt a few months ago. It's nice because it's a small single-file exe, and launches quickly, but I found that the font-smoothing was lacking. Fonts seemed to look much cleaner and sharper in Adobe Reader for the same document, so I just stuck to it.

I use PDFCreator on my laptop, but I don't believe it's compatible with XP x64, so I use CutePDF Writer on my desktop, which is also free and does the same thing.
