Does anyone know of a good image viewer? The one that comes with Windows 7 does not work very well with documents. It is really for pictures. You can't print selected pages from a multipage document. I had downloaded something called Brava Reader, but it has gotten very slow to load.
I use Pagis Viewer. Its free and works good.
Irfanview works pretty well also. It is a free download.
Irfanview has been stable and continously updated for years.
In my mind, there is no better image viewer, free or otherwise.
It is simple to use, yet offers the ability for a power user to do more.

Irfanview all the way.
It handles large format files, and has plugins to open just about anything. Multi-page tiff's ect.
Xnview is the one I prefer. It's fast, handles large (>100MB) files easily, and free. I've used Irfanview in the past; it's okay, but I like Xnview better.
I use both IrfanView and TatukGIS viewer. Tatuk handles large images well (as well as GIS shape files)but has limited plotting options. IrfanView handles fewer image types but has better plot capabilities.
And both are FREE!
I also use Irfanview and Tatuk as well as MrSID Viewer (also free). Another one I use quite often is Paint Shop Pro.
I use Brava Reader... I did notice that the version before the current one was slow. The new version seems to have fixed that. I like the fact that you can callibrate the drawing to a dimesioned line and then scale distances and areas, etc. You can also print to a pre-defined scale.
From the IrfanView website...
"IrfanView seeks to create unique, new and interesting features, unlike some other graphic viewers, whose whole "creativity" is based on feature cloning, stealing of ideas and whole dialogs from ACDSee and/or IrfanView! (for example: XnView has been stealing/cloning features and whole dialogs from IrfanView, for 10+ years)."
It appears there is some friction between the developers of the two products.
