Open source Adobe Reader alternative Sumatra PDF hits version 1.0
Today, Sumatra has finally hit version 1.0. Sumatra's a pretty bare-bones application, so don't expect any mind-blowing changes. What the new update boils down to is better compatibility, bug fixes, and performance tweaks.
Installed, Sumatra barely makes a dent in your drive space (not that you're counting at a few cents per gig), and it's very light on memory usage as well. The 277-page ebook I've got open is using just under 20Mb.
There's also a portable version available - an excellent way to make sure you've got a slim, speedy PDF reader with you wherever you take your flash drive. Both the installer and zip file are available for download from the author's site.

Is it any better than Foxit? I'll have to give it a shot sometime.

Sumatra and Foxit are good at reading but pants when it comes to printing - unfortunately nothing comes close to Adobe Reader for this.

This is a great program and I'm using it from now on.
Just sucks you still have to use Adobe Reader to fill forms on PDF's

Sumatra is a great app. I use it all the time on my Netbook. Going to install the new version.
