Sure, it doesn’t offer some of the features that programs like Adobe Reader comes with, but then again, its whole purpose is to offer you a basic PDF reader with the lowest footprint, and that, it does with aplomb.
If bloatware on your PC is a big concern for you and you’re not really looking to create, annotate or otherwise do anything more with PDF files than just viewing them, this piece of software should be the one you need to check out before trying out anything else. It doesn’t really offer too many bells and whistles, which is of course, understandable given its tiny footprint. Like Sumatra PDF, this one also has a minimalist interface and, works exactly as advertised for the most part. The program weighs in at just 1.4MB, making it, by far, the smallest actively-developed PDF viewer we know of right now.
What’s truly remarkable is that while Adobe Reader is a massive 105MB download, Sumatra PDF weighs in at just over 4MB. The program was first released back in 2006, and is hosted on Github, like many of its open source compatriots.
Sumatra is a free and open source PDF reader that has a simple, intuitive user-interface, and is light on your computer’s resources. You can click on the links to quickly move to the apps you find interesting.
