Adobe PDF files have become a nearly-universal means of distributing documents that are not meant to have their contents modified and need to look the same on every computer platform.

When I’m working, I find I spend enormous amounts of time reading PDF files.   That’s the way I download many product and shared documents.  Some very long.  Waiting for Acrobat Reader to open can often be frustrating and time consuming. 

Foxit Reader is a free light-weight very fast PDF reader that will keep you reading rather than waiting for documents to open.

In addition to being a very small and fast program, Foxit Reader will allow you to set bookmarks within the PDF file and add annotations and notes as you read.

Foxit Reader has an intuitive interface that features tabbed pages for multiple open PDFs, much like a tabbed-browser.  It can also play video and music embedded in PDF files.

Foxit Reader is available for Windows, Linux and some mobile devices.

While Foxit Reader is free, there are “advanced” add-ons that add value to Foxit Reader available for purchase.
