very fast, can edit some aspects of the document and add comments, but Installs extra crap and makes changes to your browser.

I was looking for a PDF viewer that would run on an older Windows 2000 Pro PC (yes, they still exist out in the wild). The newer Acrobat Reader is a great viewer, and is free, yet the newer versions won't work with Windows 2000 Pro and they take a lot of memory to run. This is an excellent alternative. Might even consider running on some of our older Windows XP dinosaurs.

I couldn't install it. After downloading it and accepting various agreements and unchecking the boxes that let them add toolbars and change my homepage, I clicked on the install button but it died immediately, telling me that it couldn't install on my computer because it wasn't 32-bit (I have Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit on this one). I tried launching the installer from the Downloads folder directly but the result was the same.

What really annoyed me was that the installer said that nothing was installed, but when I reopened my browser (the installer shut IE and Chrome, both of which were open) it had visibly changed the browser and when I clicked on New Tab it gave me a list of "suggested sites". Looking at Add-ons I found that it had installed and enable 4 add-ons, at least one of which is blatantly ad-ware from prior experience.
