I'm a win32 guy, so I've been using Foxit Reader
<http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php>.  Its free, 4.5mb total, and
is a stand-alone applications that doesn't require an install.

I keep it on my thumb drive with my other utils.  I've been using it for a
couple of months now with no issues reading or printing PDF's.
