My computer died a while ago (not sure why and can't work up the energy to fix it). I'm working on an aging laptop that has serious space issues, to the point that I can't find room for OpenOffice and Adobe Reader at the same time. What are good, small programs to view .pdf and/or .doc etc. files?

Since it's the new(er) one, it even reads the .docx files, which are growing in popularity in some places as Microsoft Office 2007 reaches its saturation point...

Google docs is spaceless.

If you have regular internet access, then you can use a web app like Google docs.

For an offline solution, there's Abiword (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiword).

Google docs is spaceless.

Yeah, in a way that removes most of the formatting from the *.doc, including spaces. True story :smallannoyed:
