2. Xpdf for UNIX platforms, more than one freebie pdf viewer
is included with KDE and Gnome desktop environments as an integrated component.

GSview may work for you on Windows (if you do Windows). GSview would require an installation of Ghostscript. I have no idea how well Gsview works for pdfs nor advice on the installation of it or its dependencies on Windows.

6. Just out of curiousity...
what's the problem with the free Adobe Reader?

(aside from the latest versions being huge and having possible security problems...)
