Pros

“Adobe Acrobat Reader is frequently updated which make it the benchmark standing for reading PDF documents, so much so that it's almost all i use for documents.”

“An useful new feature that I like. Because Adobe Acrobat Reader can feel slow and heavy, and some important usefull tools aren't present in the free version, I would choose a tool that is lighter, smoother and with less friction.”
