Free PDF Maker & Reader
Free PDF Readers & Creators faster and smaller than Adobe PDF
The full massive version of Adobe Reader is so slow along with all the unnecessary plugins and it eats system memory big time. Here are other free pdf alternatives you can try.
PrimoPDF
Create PDF files faster with the only free PDF creator to support one-click, drag-and-drop PDF creation. Convert to PDF from any file you can print, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats.
Foxit Reader
Foxit Reader is small in size but features almost everything Adobe Acrobat Reader has. This FREE PDF viewer allows users to view and print out their PDF documents. PDF documents can be opened at lightning speed and users can convert PDF document to its original document.
Sumatra PDF
Sumatra has a minimalistic design. It is small and launches itself very fast. It is great for portable use because it is just a one file with no external dependencies. It is small enough you should include this in your USB pen drive.
Cool PDF Reader
I bet this is the smallest PDF reader with only 600 KB in size and it is reflected on its simple installation. Cool PDF Reader can do common PDF reader job; view, print ect. Interestingly it can also convert PDF files to other extension such as TXT, JPG, BMP, GIF, WMF, PNG and EPS. It works in 68 different languages and supports all version of PDF files.
PDFescape
No installation required. Seriously, all you need is only a browser. PDFescape is a new way to open PDF files and escape from the typical software requirements for using the de facto document file format. With PDFescape, you can fill in PDF forms, add text and graphics, add links, and even add new form fields to a PDF file.
PDF Hammer
PDF Hammer is another Free online PDF application. It functions as a reader and also allows users to edit PDF documents. Users can combine or merge PDF documents together, reorder, rearrange and delete pages. You can also lock your PDF files with password-based security and edit or add document information fields including author, subject, title and keywords.
Cheers!
