So basically my university (UNC) insists on distributing damn near everything in PDF format. Fine and good, and I understand the reasons, but here is the problem: I hate Acrobat with a burning, undying passion. Slow, bloated to hell, and manages to make every machine Ive ever used chug and grind, especially when it is starting up. I hate waiting 30 seconds for Acrobat to start up just so I can check to see what the lecture topic is for the day.

Does anyone know of any alternative, lightweight PDF readers out there? Is there even such a thing?

Thanks for the help.
