If you use FireFox, It has a very light weight extension you could use.
Or I would suggest: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
Just by looking around, I found this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/PDF/PDF-Reader.shtml
You can modify PDF files in it, and its supposed to be light weight.

+3 on Foxit
Especially for the capability of writing stuff onto existing PDFs. The free version does stick an annoying uneditable "watermark" on it if you save, though. Although interestingly enough, reopening it in Adobe and then back in Foxit allows you to remove the watermark until the next save.

+4 for Foxit. But I still have AR8 on hand for the rare instance when Foxit does not print a document properly.
My favorite PDF viewer is Apple's Preview. I can't think of any complaints except that I wish they'd release a version for Windows.
Anymore I view Adobe Reader as dysfunctionware. The newer versions are slow and bloated, and I can't consistently print multi-page PDFs from Reader 8.1 to HP Color Laserjets, only the first two pages will print. Preview always prints them fine, it's not a driver issue.

Good point Ben. On my Mac @ work Preview is pretty darn quick for opening PDFs. I do like that! But sometimes I need the features of Acrobat Pro so I have to drag the pdf on to the Acrobat Pro Alias on my dock. Bah... that's so much work - LOL
