Thanks for your shares in this thread, Postman and Hanselman's list, which I had seen a few years earlier, but not checked recently. In what way is Foxit reader a mess, and what are those alternatives?

It feels bloated in size, features and UI. Uses a big ribbon UI like office used to. Too much screen taken up by toolbars, status bars etc. Most recommendations you get for PDF viewers are for Foxit, Adobe, Sumatra or. CutePDF. I don't like any of them. I found Slim PDF, which is 5mb (!) installed versus Foxit at 150mb+. There's also Microsoft Reader which is a Windows 10 app, and has a beautifully minimal UI. A good UI just stays out of the way

  Just tried out Slim PDF. Looks good, thanks. And yes, it is small and light. Like the minimalism too.

I like Sumatra PDF, very lightweight. https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org

  One thing I like about SumatraPDF is that it saves the position within a file, so if I open a file again, say, after a reboot, I am back at the same position.
