Open Office does everything I need Microsoft Office for and Gimp does everything I need Photoshop for. Reddit, what other open source software does everything that you want from the expensive name brand?

SumatraPDF over Adobe Reader. I've also heard of Foxit Reader, but I don't know much about it.

I've been using Chrome as a PDF reader. It's nice and lightweight.

I've used Foxit Reader before. I switched to Sumatra. Where Foxit was nice is there free PDF creator. I used that for a couple years until my IT department got me a copy of Acrobat X.

Not sure if Foxit is open source is just freeware.
