   I have used the Adobe Reader for years.   I do not use any of the extras   
   that are provided.  I am satisfied.   
      
   One program that I have also used for years is Snycback Free.  No   
   charge, and it has preformed reliably for me for years.   
      
   I also use CutePDFwriter.   It is free, and again is an esential part of   
   my computer.   
      
   I agree the Irfanview is a great program, but in addition there are   
   several plugins for Irfanview that are free.   The one I use most is   
   Tesseract OCR
