Hi Dub,
Thanks.
I tried foxit the last time I asked this question... I forget why I'm not using it on my DAW right now. I should look at it again.

Like most freebies it occasionally bugs  you to upgrade but is mostly unintrusive. Definitely has a fraction of the footprint of adobe reader. I can't for the life of me  figure why a simple reader  needs over 100mb

I use PDF-XChange Viewer on my ultrabook. For some reason Adobe Reader was performing very sluggishly, especially when zooming in and out and scrolling in documents, but PDF-XChange Viewer performs very smoothly. As usual there's also a pro version which allows editing and comes with more support, etc. 

I use Sumatra on my DAW. Works fine. No Adobe bloat.

I use Adobe Acrobat Reader X whatever - BUT.
 
I install the Acrobat Reader X Multilanguage installer.  why?  Well Adobe in their infinite wisdom install Reader by default to the main C - Drive, no option to install anywhere else wasting valuable SSD hard drive space.
 
If you use the Acrobat X multi language installer it is the same reader BUT the installer gives you an option to install where you want, like your D drive, saving the 100+MB install and keeping your SSD drive free of clutter.
 
Just a tip.  When I had a 120GB SSD C Drive I was always running out of space, now I have a 500+GB SSD C Drive and I worry less but it's still a concern for me.
 
Just thought I would throw that out there.
