![]() ![]() Every time you click a PDF link on your browser, Sumatra will open it in it’s own window instead of fitting into the browser. ![]() Second, it doesn’t create browser plug-ins. First, it doesn’t have an annotation tool (found in Foxit). However, it does miss a few bells and whistles that might be important to you.

Sumatra also comes in a handy portable version, which you can carry around in your thumb drives. ![]() Your PDFs will load just fine, and you can read them as you do on Adobe or Foxit. But let me tell you this – Sumatra does what it says it does, and it does that well. Recently out of beta, Sumatra is downright barebones and ugly you might even throw up the first time it loads on your desktop (see below). Open source utility Sumatra PDF improves upon Foxit’s speed and cuts out the crap to become one seriously recommended tool in your software arsenal. Personally, I’d rather recommend a default installation of Adobe Reader than that of Foxit, as you’re going to end up with all the added crapware in the latter. While installing and using Foxit, you’ve got to dodge a dozen toolbars, advertisements, and “recommended” updates (most of which aren’t free) to maintain Foxit as the lean, fast thing it previously was. Foxit has always been a great alternative to Adobe, but it has developed it’s own problems of late. You probably knew all this and switched over to Foxit Reader ages ago. It eats 200 MBs of your hard disk and half your processor (while running), just for opening PDF files. ![]()
