Sumatra has some security issues you need to be aware of @Adam Hunt I used to use it but stopped when this was exposed:
"A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way that SumatraPDF Reader decrements an object in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user."
Note that was published: April 16, 2013 and for Sumatra Version: 1.0
Microsoft is providing notification of the discovery and remediation of a vulnerability affecting SumatraPDF Reader version 2.1.1 and earlier versions. Microsoft discovered and disclosed the vulnerability under coordinated vulnerability disclosure to the affected vendor, SumatraPDF. SumatraPDF has remediated the vulnerability in their software.
I've decided to go with FreePDF 2022 as a PDF Tool replacement. So far it looks to do what I need it to do and is not showing any known risk behavior etc.
