A few days ago I had to check out lots of PDFs and I never liked the Adobe Reader that much. I also have a dis­like for the Foxit Reader and while the Nitro PDF Reader has its uses it’s not exactly small, it’s still beta, and if you don’t like the rib­bon user infer­face you won’t be happy with it. I dis­carded Suma­tra PDF because of it’s very, very min­i­mal­is­tic user inter­face and Cool PDF Reader because I got a few error mes­sages with dif­fer­ent PDFs.

Per­fect PDF Reader 6 was too big as was the excel­lent PDF-XChange Viewer. By now I was ready to go with the PDF-XChange Viewer despite its size but then I stum­bled over a PDF reader called STDU Viewer. It’s small, it’s blaz­ingly fast, it opened every PDF I threw at it, and it fea­tures tabs. Absolutely fan­tas­tic! Exactly what I was look­ing for! I would rec­om­mend this viewer to ever­body look­ing for a small but effi­cient PDF reader.
