    Recommendations for a PDF reader

    Greetings:

    I need to install (or keep) a PDF reader; preferably a lightweight one that just displays documents without the need to edit them or "phone home". Any recommendations?

    Adobe Reader is probably the most commonly used PDF reader available.
    Pretty small app and easy to use.
    Here the link for the Play Store -

    I have both Aldiko and Acrobat. Adobe displays the PDFs a bit better than Aldiko, but Aldiko loads up the file at the place the reader left off. It balances out.
    I do not accept PMs asking for one-on-one tech support. Ask on the forums so everyone can benefit.

    Q: Why does an App say it's not compatible on Google's Play Store?

    A: The build.prop is faulty and files are missing from \system\etc\permissions. Download the file from here and install it.

    Q: Why does Google Earth refuse to start on stock ROMs?
    A: Google Earth expects to be able to pinpoint your location. Read this thread to fix things.

    I'm surprised to see anyone call Adobe Reader small. I tried it and it's not bad but I was hoping for a thumbnail display like the desktop version.

    Also, I am willing to pay for the app, but I am not willing to have ads take up any screen space.

    I like Aldiko. I don't trust Adobe anything any further than I can spit.

    I block Acrobat Reader's Internet access using Droidwall, and that eliminates my concerns with Adobe.

    I downloaded a PDF file and was surprised to see Kindle, which is preloaded, appear as a choice. I was downloading documentation that I will keep long term, so having it on a virtual bookshelf made sense. It does a good job. I would not like the headache of the extra steps to manage files that were short term though.

    So this might be a little late, but my app of choice is EZ PDF Reader. I liked it so much I bought the paid version. Tons of features, so many ways to configure it... I'd recommend it over any others

    I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it!
    This is what I use as well and it has always worked well for me.
