Why another PDF reader?
Sumatra
PDF is a PDF viewer for Windows. Sumatra has a minimalistic design.
Simplicity has a higher priority than a lot of features. It’s small and
starts up very fast. It’s designed for portable use:it’s just one file
with no external dependencies so you can easily run it from external USB
drive.

Disable viewing PDF files directly in web browser (IE and FireFox)
Adobe
Acrobat also comes with Internet Explorer and FireFox plugin which
makes it take over PDF files downloaded via browser and display them
directly in the browser. This is not always a desired behaviour and you
can use Sumatra as the default PDF viewer in both IE and Firefox,without
completely uninstalling Adobe Acrobat. Here are the steps (based on
this blog post):
* Launch Sumatra PDF viewer
* Select File/Make Sumatra a default PDF reader
* Launch Adobe Acrobat
* Select Edit/Preferences
* Select Internet
* Uncheck Display PDF in browser
* Click OK
