I have always used Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing pdf files. Not so much because I like the program, but because it is the mostly widely used program for viewing .pdf files. I've never really liked Adobe's Reader, it's slow to open, hogs system resources, and is prone to security issues.
Several months ago I began using Foxit Reader as my primary pdf reader, and I'm loving it! Foxit is compact, opens quickly and uses minimal system resources. They took a tip from the web browser world and recently added tabbed viewing! Instead of having to jump back between multiple windows, .pdf's are neatly arranged in a single window with tabs at the top for navigation.
Foxit reader can be downloaded from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/. They have a free version (my personal favorite) and a pay for version which includes a text converter, commenting tools and a few other features.
