Windows users have long been missing a good PDF reader, and now there’s finally an open source solution that’s available as a single executable. The PDF Reader for Windows is a free program that can be downloaded from the project’s website. The program is designed to be simple to use, and it includes support for both viewing and editing PDF files. It also includes features like bookmarks, annotation support, and password protection. The program can be installed on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, and it is compatible with both the Windows 10 operating system and older versions of Windows. The PDF Reader for Windows is a great option for users who want an easy-to-use PDF reader that supports all the features they need. ..

The Sumatra PDF viewer comes as one single .exe file, and is about as minimal as you can get… it launches in less than a second for me, and the clean interface is great. 

But that’s not the best part… it’s got shortcut keys that are very similar to Gmail and Google Reader. (Except j and k are swapped for some unknown reason)

Here’s the list of shortcut keys: 

space – scroll by screen backspace – scroll back by screen k – scroll by one line j – scroll back by one line Down – scroll by one line Up – scroll back by one line n – goto next page p – goto previous page Page Down – go to next page Page Up – go to previous page g – goto page q – quit + – zoom in – – zoom out r – reload PDF document + – rotate clockwise – – rotate counter-clockwise Home – go to first page End – go to last page

Just being able to navigate a PDF with the same keys I use all the time was enough for me.
