Review

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.
Advantages
  • freeware, powerful and easy to use application; multilanguage support
Disadvantages
  • limited edition tools in free version, kind of messy interface at first sight, only Windows

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.
