Default

PDF files:
Foxit Reader

Replaces: Adobe Reader (formerly known as Acrobat Reader)

Advanatages:
- faster
- some extra tools that are not in Adobe Reader, but only in it's bigger brother (Adobe Acrobat). However, some of them only work in the paid version of Foxit Reader. But all that makes Foxit Reader replace Adobe Reader, is 100% free. (sorry for the bad construction of this sentence)

Disadvantage:
- When printing multiple pages per sheet, the order of those pages might not be completely correct. At least, I experienced that when I exported a .ppt file containing lecture material into a PDF (with OpenOffice.org Impress), and printed that with Foxit Reader. The order was correct in the PDF file, by the way.

Yet, in most cases it works perfectly!
