Hello,
Your request is imprecise because there are at least two types of PDF applications: PDF readers, which are all free, and PDF editors, commercial versions that include creation and correction features.
Editors urge you to switch to the latter, but nothing obliges you if all you need is to read PDFs—documents distributed so they cannot be edited by recipients. Just avoid clicking on paid version links often offered as a one-month trial.
You will find a selection of readers (free display, graphical and textual annotations) in the CCM download section, with links to the editors' sites (latest reader versions and commercial offers):

Hello,
And nothing in that tells us that the request might not concern a smartphone either.
Some, though few, include a PDF viewer (for example on my Xiaomi Mi PDF Viewer) otherwise it’s hell, all apps are paid or stuffed with advertisements at an intolerable level.
A good compromise is Collabora Office, which is neither one nor the other, not its vocation, but it opens PDFs perfectly. -
