I have created a Windows partition on a MacBook, 32GB in size.

I am trying to avoid filling it up with "bloatware" applications
like
Adobe Acrobat Reader. On my Mac, the Adobe Reader hogs 113.5MB of HD
space. I replaced it with a freeware application called Skim, which
takes only 9.3MB of HD space and is every bit as good, if not better,
than Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Can anyone recommend a freeware .pdf reader they like to replace AA
Reader on my Windows XP partition?

Many thanks.
Carl

Adobe Digital Editions will do it. Requires Flash.

Foxit is highly regarded. I use it rather than the AA 80 meg piece of
bloat.

Adobe Digital Editions is 3MB.

Adobe installed and working 7.59 MB - Foxit 3.92 MB

Size isn't everything;-)
