Those wishing to View/Modify or perform simple editing of PDF files on their Windows PC's now have a FREE pdf reader alternative to the Adobe Reader! The PDF-XChange Viewer is smaller, faster and more feature rich than any other FREE PDF Reader/ PDF Viewer/ PDF Editor available. This free pdf viewer download also allows users to try the extended functionality offered by the PDF-XChange Viewer 'PRO' in evaluation mode - for free. No PDF reader or Viewer offers more features than PDF-XChange - or does so without compromising performance and quality, checkout the feature list below and save $100's in unnecessary expenditure on your PDF software today. Also included are the very powerful PDF-XChange Shell Extensions and iFilter.
The licensed PDF-XChange Viewer 'PRO', is a PDF creator in it's on right, allowing users to create PDF files directly from scanners, image files and can even take a .txt or .rtf file and convert to PDF or build your PDF document from scratch.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 2.0
With a really good looking interface, multiple language support and lots of features, this viewer is aiming to become the new PDF viewer standard, dethroning the Adobe Acrobat.
A very important detail is that this application you can use it legaly without spend a buck since its a freeware.
You can upgrade to the PDF-XChange PRO that is much more than a viewer, it also allows you to edit your PDF documents with professional tons of tools.
Tracker Software Products – the developer – also offers a portable PDF-XChange Viewer version. With a 4 MB file size can be run from memory cards, CD, DVD and others devices alike and doesn't require installation.
The quality of the product is guaranteed if you take a look to its Help menu. It displays the following options:
Report a problem...: this is great because the whole users community is acting as a big debugger team, detecting failures and reporting them so the developer can solve the problems.
Check for updates...: related to the previous option, from here you can always access to the newest version of the software wich includes patches for all the problems reported so far.
Support forums...: if something comes along and you don't know how to do, you can visit the forums to know the “popular wisdom”.
As a viewer, a remarkable characteristic of this one is that supports multi-tab styled browsing of multiple documents. Nothing more annoying when you have to work with more than one document at a time that a lot of viewer instances open. This way, like new Internet Explorer or Firefox web browsers, you have a tab per document all within a single window. Much more comfortable and faster.
A couple of really cool tools need to be commented. The sticky notes tool is one of them. By clicking on the document, wherever you like, you can tape-up a virtual sticky note to remember something. That's not all, you also can set a lot of properties for it as transparency, color, icon, etc.
Another cool and easy-to-use tool is the stamp tool. With a stamp like icon you just mark your documents after a predefined texts such as: Approved, Final, Draft and much more.
As simple as that you can draw geometric forms as well. With a very accesible toolbar you can draw lines, rectangules, circles, arrows, polygons and else.
freeware, powerful and easy to use application; multilanguage support
limited edition tools in free version, kind of messy interface at first sight, only Windows
I had use PDF-XChange Viewer and think that it's without doubt the fastest, most feature rich
alternative to Acrobat available! This is the very excellent program.
Juan.....that is an excellent review and you tell it like it is....good job. The only thing I would
add is that installing this program and using it for a while will make you happy that you decided to
remove adobe reader (and possibly Foxit reader which happened in my case). The speed of PDFX viewer
and additional features (minimal) along with the footprint needed to load it on your system makes it
an excellent software package. Try it, you may like it.
