    Foxit reader is much faster than adobe reader. The extra add-ins are a bonus too. Only issue I rann into is the need to edit text. I discovered that PDF Readers can't usualy do this. I found an Acrobat alternative called Nitro PDF Professional www.nitropdf.com. It's cheap and I've found it to be very reliable...
