What is the best lightweight PDF reader for Leopard?

[raysfan81]

I'm using preview to read pdf's now and it works great for smaller ones but I have a 1199 page textbook in PDF format that bogs Preview down. Is there another option that I can try that can handle larger files better?

Skim is good.

Adobe provides a free PDF reader, does it not?

Yes it does, but the op asked for a lightweight PDF reader, and Adobe is certainly not "lightweight".

Because every Mac ships with Preview and Adobe provides Adobe Reader as freeware, there is not a lot of demand for other free options. If it ain't happening for the OP with Preview, then Adobe Reader is his best alternative.

Yes, but an 1199-page PDF is not lightweight either.

OP, you probably need Adobe Reader.

I usually just use Preview, but Skim is the best alternative PDF reader I've tried. Adobe's is.... I don't like it.
