Free program for PDF files?
What is a free program for PDF files? Legal downloads only, of course. I'm really just interested in reading them. I know that there is an Adobe PDF program, but I don't know if it is free or if there is a free version with a time limit. Just looking for something that is free with no time limit and is free of spyware.

Acrobat Reader is free; it's just not open-source.
On the Linux platform, I use okular. It has an especially amusing option in its settings -- "Obey DRM limitations" -- that can be disabled.

For freeware readers, it's Foxit; and to print out PDFs for free, it's DoPDF.

Mozilla has an open source HTML5+Javascript PDF Viewer under active development.
If you're brave, you can install it as an add-on or enable it in Firefox Nightly where it's already included: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ Expect to find bugs until Mozilla decides it's worthy enough to ship with a stable Firefox release. It should be relatively useable at this point in time, but don't be surprised if PDFs with complex layouts have display issues.
