Download Sumatra PDF 1.2

Sumatra PDF is a lightweight open source program for opening PDF documents. Installed, the program takes up 1.2MB, making it smaller than Foxit Reader. When a PDF document is printed, it is first converted internally to a bitmap image. This usually results in a large spooled file, which can cause quite a bit of delay on printers with low memory. Version 1.2 of Sumatra PDF was released last week and the changelog for this release looks like this:
