Christian Saborío's Blog

The blog deals mostly with problems and their respective solutions that I find on day to day basis at my current workplace. Most of the issues so far deal specifically with Virtualization (mostly Microsoft related), 64-bit migration, and Windows 2003 issues. Many of the problems I have faced in various projects have been solved by reading someone else's blog. This is an effort to pay back and hopefully someone will be able to solve some of their problems by reading something within these pages.

A lightweight PDF Reader

One of the things I really like about OS X is that it has a built-in PDF Viewer.  What's so special about this PDF viewer?  I think what I like the most is the fact that it is not bloated.  Adobe's Acrobat reader can take a while to launch, installing takes around 20 MB of downloads, and on older machines can really perform poorly.

I stumbled upon Sumatra PDF over the weekend, and I think it is a great replacemente for Adobe's Reader in Windows.   I think you cannot beat Sumatra, especially when it comes to the price (free!)

Do you know of any other PDF readers that are fast & lighteweight?

Thanks for this, I have a very old laptop and currently with a 12 page PDF open it only consumes a mere 800KB of RAM. This is excellent for my limited 192MB RAM.
