PDF viewers used by screen reader users

A long standing practice for me has been:
I prefer to download PDFs and read them using Adobe Reader.
I do this off links that open up a PDF in the browser too.
On Windows, this is the most effective way of getting to content /
navigating around in a tagged or even untagged doc that may or may
not include forms.
As 2020 draws to a close, I am wondering if there are other reliable
and effective PDF/UA viewers that work with screen readers on Windows
/mobile / Mac and would like to learn from the experience of SR
colleagues on the list.

Thanks very much,
Sailesh
