Alright. For the billionth time, my Adobe reader just crashed and its not because it is a bad program. But, it is too resource intensive. I do not have one of the coolest computers. I open 4-5 e-books together (I do that a lot!) and it takes my CPU usage up by 50%.

So, I looked around and found Foxit Reader. I was surprised because its not really that new. But, I guess I rarely ever look for better alternatives once I get something that solves my purpose.

Anyways, this is a nice little PDF reader. It starts up in under 5 seconds, which is extremely good in comparison with Adobe Acrobat Reader’s startup time. It also really easy to install compared to the Acrobat’s installer. Here, you just need to download the little exe file and you are all set to go.

It also has good addons, which are mostly free, some advance ones require a small fee. You can download foxit reader from here http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/

The best part of Foxit Reader is that it is not resource intensive at all. I opened more than 10 pdf files and still my computer didn’t become sluggish.

You get used to the interface and most of the shortcuts in a really short time. So, if you are a normal pdf user, and want a lighter and faster software to view your pdf files, then Foxit Reader is a really good choice.

But if you got any better alternatives, or got something to say about Foxit Reader, just leave it in the comments
