It's license renewal time and we're trying to cut back. It's not going well.

Reader would work for like 90% of people, but no, everyone needs Standard or Pro because reasons.

"Hate" is a strong word for my feelings towards Adobe Acrobat reader. But I really don't like it when I start it to view a pdf, you know the thing it is designed to do, and I have a weird popup, then a toolbar on the right with tools I can't use cause they're premium and a toolbar on the left and a toolbar at the top underneath the standard windows toolbar. I just wanna view the pdf man (also weird snapping when you scroll over a page). Haven't found anything nice yet that just works. I don't want to use Edge or a browser to view them and mupdf is too light weight. Would really like an evince for windows
Foxit reader, trust
I second this.
Looks like Foxit is freeware with a subscription option for enterprise deployment packages. Not ideal.
Maybe Okular? It's from the KDE project and it's on the Windows store.
Foxit has a subscription plan if you need advance tools, it's perfectly fine (and customizable) if you want to use the standard plan... No ads, no popups, nothing except your pdf and a lot of features you can use for free. You should give it a try, it's really good.
Ehhh. Still proprietary. I'd rather use open source tools, even if it takes a slight functionality hit.
There's also SumatraPDF which seems pretty similar to Evince, though I don't know the latter
I'll second SumatraPDF. Lightweight, easy.
Try Sumatra, PDF24 and or Foxit Reader. There are plenty of alternatives for a pdf reader, and a lot of them are even faster than acrobat!
Try pdf xchange
Okular is quite nice and I believe has a windows port (though I've not tried it). https://okular.kde.org/download/
It's annoying AF. But there is an option in the settings to open as it was last closed. So open a file, minimize all those toolbars, save the file, close the file, open a file. Should be good to go.
"Go to Edit > Preferences > Documents, and then select Remember current state of Tools pane."
Wondershare PDFelement is pretty respectable.
