   A great PDF reader both in terms of looks and functionality. I really love that it's very basic.
   
   But tell me, how can it be the biggest memory hog ever? Let me illustrate this: I opened a 113-page PDF file. Scrolled up and down (from 1 to 113) 10 times. Memory use went up to 500 mb (yes 5 0 0). As I continued scrolling up and down, memory KEPT rising. Do you know what that might mean for a simple user? If I want to keep a PDF opened and look through it from time to time during the day, such memory use might completely screw my pc up at some part of the day.
   
   Now, try doing the same basic scrolling with FoxIt Reader. Memory use goes up 5-10 mbs during scrolling, but it GOES BACK to previous value after you stop scrolling.
   
   So again, I think Sumatra PDF is great and really IS very promising, but I'll stick to FoxIt for the time-being.

   Very good, light PDF reader. They made it so Sumatra remembers the window position and size. The only thing left to do for me to ditch Foxit Reader is to have Sumatra remember Zoom and View settings, though they are not as important as windows position and size.

   Just found out about this, and I like it a great deal. It helped to remind me of just how large the official Acrobat Reader has become. It's a startling contrast.
   
   All I want is a basic PDF reader. I don't want to view multimedia, have it be able to execute java or javascript code, allow for editing and group revisions, etc.
   
   So I'm very glad to see this type of open source alternative. It does a great job of meeting my needs.
   
   I'm also happy to see that they have allowed the user to disable the auto-update feature.
   
   It's simply a matter of principle for me - users should always be able to control any "phone home" type of features, so kudos to the coders. :)

   Project is moving fast. Excellent.
   Last v got destinations and now links work.
   This is enough for me. This is default pdf reader now. Adobe only for back up and maybe for printing.
