Cool PDF Reader 3.21 PDF viewer for Windows

One of the smallest PDF readers available.

Available as both an installation package and portable freeware, Cool PDF Reader has got to be the smallest application which can view and print Adobe PDF files from virtually all different versions released over the years.

As you might expect from such a small program, Cool PDF Reader has a straight-forward interface without too much which you might consider flashy and bloated. Viewing a PDF file is as easy using the file browser built-in.

After opening a PDF file, you're able to view the multiple pages of the document, if applicable. Cool PDF Reader can also quickly show you the details about the PDF file from the properties. Properties of a document may include the date of creation, encryption strength, creator, etc.

Visual slideshows are also possible with this Adobe PDF reader, allowing you to hide the menu bars while you page through documents.

The printing function of Cool PDF Reader is exactly as you would expect it. As with virtually all other printing application, you can configure the options via your printer and directly from the application; paper size and orientation are the two main configurations.

As a small and freeware PDF viewing program, Cool PDF Reader is definitely not a hog of resources and it certainly is much much faster than anything currently available from Adobe. It is especially useful for beginners because of its free status and the sheer ease-of-use this program offers.
