Do you get many assignments and they all have to be in pdf? People said "get me the pdf" or "do you have the pdf?". PDF is document type like doc. But why people talk more about pdf?
First, Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. (source: Wikipedia)
So we cannot change anything in pdf. That's why people use it. When we open doc in our laptop, it could be that the software version of ours is lower than the person who gave the document. That could lead, several problems with layout, some graphic won't come out, and etc.
Now, I will get to the software. There're many software to read pdf, such as Foxit and Adobe. This are 2 software which widely used by people.
As I read in their website, Foxit Reader is small, fast, and feature rich PDF viewer which allows you to open, view, and print any PDF file. Unlike other free PDF readers, Foxit Reader also includes easy to use collaboration features like the ability to add annotations, fill out forms, and share content with social networks. It is designed to meet the PDF viewing needs of enterprise and government organizations, making it easy to deploy and manage in large enterprise environments. Foxit Reader can also be customized to specific product features and branding.

From my experience with both software, I prefer Foxit Reader. It's simple with many function and it can open multiple files. That is very important to college student like me and also to people who open PDF very often.
