Adobe acrobat alternative free

[bitfenix]

Hello

I'm on windows 11 home, 25h2, I'm using adobe acrobat and have no issues but is 10GB in size which seems ridiculous.

I have tried PDFgear but wasn't keen on it.

Is their a smaller free program I can download?

David. Thanks

What pdf functionality do you need?

There is such a thing as Adobe Acrobat Express, don't know if the file size is smaller though.

Your web browser?

No your Web browser will allow you to view pdfs. Most have built in pdf readers.

Adobe has been a pain, I had to disable most of its AI features it kept bugging me.

We use Foxit at work, seems to much better than using just the browser.

Sumatra is what I always have installed. Then for any other PDF related work, you can’t go wrong with PDF24.

KillerPDF (it’s free) if you are looking to edit and have full functionality. For a reader I use Foxit.

For viewing I just let it open in Chrome and be done with it! Nice and simple.

I tried Adobe Reader again recently and its just massively bloated now.
