Did you know that PDF is an open standard (ISO 32000-1:2008)? This means that anyone can make tools to create and/or view PDF documents, and they do. There are many companies that make PDF products for a variety of platforms.
Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure has it right: Adobe Reader has become the new IE. (Well, I'd say it's become the old IE, but you get the point.) Back to Mikko: "For some reason everybody seems to be using it for reading PDF files. Even though there are plenty of free alternatives. And the alternatives are much smaller and faster. And start up in under a minute."
Consider that you could replace Adobe Reader on your client PCs with Foxit or Sumatra PDF.
