Product Reviews for PDF-XChange Viewer

Absolutely love this product. Just a blessing that it's free for the world to use. Specially when other more market prominent products do not serve us as well as this one does. I always recommend this product to friends, clients and colleagues. And... have now added recommendation for it on a site that creates PDF files. (http://www.mindflow.com.au/targets/) ... also free service :D

Used the free version for years. Lower on resources than Adobe Reader but has more features. Better security options: Javascript support = disabled, Allow Launch Action = NEVER (PDFs can actually include a command to launch a program), Allow file attachments opening = PDF only (PDFs can have attached files). I have to remove a bunch of what I consider garbage search providers; however, after removal, I switch off using any search providers since I only want to search within the PDF. Letting me annotate (edit) the PDF is handy when I need to provide elucidation or instruction to someone else to whom I send a PDF file. Since I'm using only the freeware version, the option "Hide restricted PRO functions in free version" eliminates having to see menu entries that won't work. One point removed due to obtuse workaround to get PDF-Xchange Viewer to work in Google Chrome. User must go into about:plugins in Google Chrome to disable the inbuilt PDF Viewer so that PDF-Xchange Viewer gets used instead. The "Display PDF in browser" option in PDF-Xchange Viewer should take care of that automatically since that is what Tracker Software says to do (i.e., it's a known workaround). It took me way too long and only after Googling around to figure out how to get PDF-Xchange to work within Google Chrome.

Like many others, I have searched and searched and experimented with a seemingly endless collection of freeware pdf conversion and editing utilities and this product is simply the best. I don't use or need the corresponding functions often, only once in a while. Congratulations to Tracker Software, I wish you all success and am certain that your business reputation and, accordingly, your operations will grow and grow. Thank you.

Ever since I've stumbled upon the free Pdf-Xchange Viewer, I've been reccomending it to all of my friends. It's fast (much much faster than Adobe), it's light in terms of the RAM usage, it's powerfull and it doesn't insert it's own comments (besides using "pro" functionality). I love it! I'd wish it was available for macos too - it would rule the world!

the only complain I have about it is that the handwriting(pencil) tool does not work properly. sometimes, while writing using my stylus, it starts selecting and dragging previously written strokes which are nearby. Apps like onenote which have been carefully designed for hand-writing avoid this feature by only using the right click button on stylus to select

Great software, and I have tried a few others over the years. Lots of features, and one of a few that allow manipulating pages within the document through thumbnail drag-and-drop. Loads very fast, renders the thumbnails fast, too. OCR support a bonus, albeit a bit slow.

Really nothing much to complain about, but if an improvement is to be suggested, there may be more search functions available.

No doubts that it's one of the (if not the) best PDF viewer!

just perfect

is just the best i have tried, and i have tried a lot well, almost. i want this for my linux too

I have used PDF Xchange Viewer since when Adobe ruled the world about 10 years ago or so. Have been a sincere user of this app. I can't think of any other PDF viewer that has so much capability than this one. This one is a keeper folks. Adobe is a big time bloatware, more like an anchor. Kudos to the team.

The best since sliced bread. What I like most, besides the great interface and tools, is that it not as ANNOYING as ADOBE. Seems like Adobe updates and installs stuff constantly, and slowing things down. This program is GREAT. I've been using the free version for quite some time and it is "the cat's meow"!!!!

I always wondered why the traditional pdf reader (put out by Adobe) never included something as obvious as an easily functional bookmark. So as I started using PDF Xchange, I never looked back. Thanks so much to all the people at tracker software for their contribution to readers every where. Hip,Hip,Hurrahhh.. Steve (In Toronto, Canada)  

The new FREE OCR feature rocks. I've been trying to OCR my pdf Cad drawings using other standalone OCR softwares but repeatedly failed especially when the size is bigger than A3 size. Can you add batch processing so that the more repetitive tasks like printing, ocr etc is faster. Thanks for a great product which has now permanently replaced Acrobat on my pc.

My favorite PDF-Viewer as a master degree student ! 1) Opens large pdf-files with several hundred pages and images in no time 2) Lets you annotate lecture scripts, insert bookmarks and highlight passages for textual working 3) Lets you save and edit your changes 4) Great development support for my other favorite academic research tool docear {BASE_URL}/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=12274&p=55596 Thank you for developing a great software and keep up the good work.

No doubt - it is the best ! Forget everything about reader and user only this one :) Regards. remy  

One of the first pieces of sofware I add to new computers. Enough said.

This is the best PDF Reader. The features that I like more are: - It is very fast to open many documents at startup (when the last session is restored). - It is very fast when scrolling between pages (also for huge documents) - The documents can be edited to add notes and to highlight interesting text The only thing I would like to be added is a session manager to load and save many sessions (not only the last)

Just awesome! Most complete and powerfull pdf viewer!

Possible the best PDF reader ! Adobe Reader like a Hulk, last FoxIt Reader came with some bugs that making reading sometimes impossible, but PDF Viewer is excellent !
