Reader would work for like 90% of people, but no, everyone needs Standard or Pro because reasons.

The best pdf reader for me is Okular. It is free, open source and certified with the German “Blauer Engel” for it’s energy efficiency (as first software ever btw)
I don’t think it’s more “power efficient” than other pdf readers (Like Sumatra). It looks like the only reason it got that award is because it’s German software. I’m saying that as Austrian. Super weird thing to give an award to.
How would they even measure it? Pdf readers use close to zero CPU. And using more or less RAM has nothing to do with power usage.
Presumably it means it has been actually audited by a third party for wasteful cycles, etc. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s cheaper to run than another app, just that it’s cheaper than some objective standard.
