The one that's in Google Chrome.

Like I need to have a fucking PDF viewer installed. As if having Windows installed isn't bad enough already.

No.

I use Windows Media Player for that.

i use skim. it's pretty lightweight and nice. something about the default preview app just annoyed me. i think some behavior was fucked up but it's been so long since i used it for PDFs that i couldn't even tell you what anymore.

>>58388267
chrome doesn't do anything with hyperlink references. as in you can't hover over them to see the reference. this is unbelievably frustrating when you're dealing with numerical reference formats (most CS venues).

i mean i'm not saying i think you'll read this and be sold on it, but this is why some people have dedicated pdf viewers; because there are features that the PDF spec supports that rudimentary viewers don't bother to handle.

It's a pdf reader that allow you to change background/foreground colors, very useful at night or if you read a lot. That is if you want to keep your eyes free from the constant agression of black and white lights.
>>
>>58389076
You could just see an eye doctor, or stop being a sensitive sissy.
>>
>>58389089
You can see a doctor for everything, but keep on repeating a bad habit over time and no doctor will be able to help you.

>>58388144
Adobe Acrobat Reader

>>58389123
If seeing something no one else has is "agression", then you have problems.

SumatraPDF on Windows
zathura on linux
MuPDF on Android

>something no one else has
Its everyone. You don't feel it like an agression, i know i don't except maybe when i'm tired, but over time you'll lose sight. In 5, 10, 20 years depending on genetic.
White light is slowly destroying your eyes, while black light enhance it because of the contrast.

It's like carpal tunnel syndrome, it arose from one applying his wrist against a surface, just that. You don't feel it like an agression but over time you're destroying tissues, crumbling nerves against tendons.

Let's be real now - it werks is not enough - it works like shit I usually use edge to read pdf's because it's infinitely smoother and better compared to firefox built-in one.

I'm using PDFlite, because my PC only has 2giga ram and as the name implies it doesn't consume resource at all.

Never tried Sumatra and don't know if it'd be any better. I don't have problems with PDFlite so I don't see why I'd switch.

SumatraPDF for Windows.

>calling it GNU plus Linux instead of GNU slash Linux
kys yourself
>>
what are you? some kind of pdf file?
>>
>>58393963

Literally nothing wrong with it.

My system doesn't use GNU "or" Linux or GNU "divided by" Linux. I use a system with GNU tools "plus" the Linux kernel.
>>
>>58394340
>calling / "divided by" instead of "mod"
please go

Sumatra for windows
llpp for Linux

>>58393549

and remembers tabs

Just two random examples, faggot.

The one in OPs picture.

I just need a fast opening and fast rendering pdf viewer.

You have definitely summed up every Adobe product I've dealt with.

Evince. Am I a bad hombre?

>>58390201
I thought Sumatra used mupdf and evince used poppler.

>>58388144
I like sumatra, but I have to open and fill XFA forms fairly often for work, and the only reader I know of with full support is acrobat :(
>>
zathura with mupdf backend

Me >>58391070

After looking into it, PDFlite stole Sumatra's code and made their "own" program. After using GeekUninstaller I realized it had put malwares into my registry, so I cleaned it all and got Sumatra instead.
>>
>>58393290
I use Okular. I like it.

>>58388144
Sumatra but I wish it used relative paths

Don't be miserable. Treat yourself to a ssd and load some linux on it and play around. Often times misery is caused by dietary issues and not drinking enough water etc. etc. Best of luck you anon.

Acrobat Pro btw the way

I hated that inbuilt viewer.

>>58388182
Okular because i like to highlight important text with different colors while I'm reading.
>>
Protip :
Green pdf works without X-server.
Why is noone developing framebuffer applications anymore? They were great but suddenly the support died and every faggy hipster started to run X in kiosk mode.
