Product Reviews for PDF-XChange Viewer

I concur with other comments. Adobe Reader is the pits and you get no support from these people on what has shown to be a continuing problem wtih Adove Reader 9.4. error message says "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close down. Removed and re-installed 3 times with same results. Could not even locate an older version to try.  

So - install PDF-XChange Viewer and all is solved !

The final straw with Adobe Acrobat was looking, at length as usual due to their complicated user interface and unhelpful help site, for a way to resize font in text boxes and callouts. Finally, I searched the Internet, only to find . . . Adobe Acrobat does not even provide this capability! That was it. A V-8 moment occurred, without the head-slapping: Why the heck did I abandon PDF XChange 4 Pro for this bloated, pretentious piece of junk from Adobe? I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat (saving myself 4GB of hard drive space in the bargain) and reinstalled PDF XChange 4 Pro. The first thing I noticed were the text box and callout tools and, lo and behold, the drop down menus for selecting text fonts and sizes. No hunting, no perplexity, no frustration. This and so many other things are more convenient, better presented and documented, and just plain easier to do in PDF XChange 4 Pro. V-8 moment! This time, including head-slap. Ouch!

I just wanted to markup pdf files which Adobe reader just somehow doesn't allow. This program did it even in the free mode. My other frequent use is the search function over directories/multiple files which this program performs so much faster in searching and opening files than the 'other' reader. And its so affordable. I'm buying this program.

This product is fantastic, it's exactly what I have been looking for. It is so easy to add comments, annotate and highlight pdf's. Excellent!

Lo más usado no es siempre lo mejor, he realizado el cambio de visor de PDF y ahora no paro de recomendar este programa, fácil, sencillo, rápido, ligero y en español. Después de usarlo te preguntarás por qué usabas Adobe Reader. Lo único pega que le veo es la interfaz y sus iconos, que dan apariencia de sobrecargado, pero eso se arregla desactivando las barras de herramientas que no vayamos a usar y listo.

I had first started to look for a replacement for Adobe Reader more than a year ago. With every new update from its engineering team, Adobe Reader was becoming an ever bigger hassle to work with. The installer was becoming ever more larger, and the application itself, whilst becoming more pleasant to the eyes, was also becoming ever more unresponsive and resource-hungry. I first tried Foxit Reader as a replacement. Foxit was a great alternative to Adobe Reader. It was much smaller (the install only took several seconds, as opposed to several minutes for Adobe Reader) and I felt that it was easier to handle a large library of PDF's with it. But, whilst it was an improvement over Adobe Reader, I still felt that there was room for improvement, so I kept searching software review websites to maybe find a better one. By chance I stumbled upon a glowing review of PDF-XChange Viewer and was so impressed I just had to give it a try for myself. I installed PDF-XChange Viewer and about 30 minutes later uninstalled both Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader. I had found my new default viewer! :) The installer is a small package. The application loads in a snap and handles large libraries of PDF's beautifully. It doesn't get jammed when you have over a dozen PDF's open at the same time. It particularly handles PDF's that are filled with many color images much better than both Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader. The free version also has a good number of functions available, which will probably be enough for even most power users. But if you can't seem to find a function you want, the PRO version will most definitely have it included. If you're running Adobe Reader or some other PDF viewer and feel that there's something missing, look no further. THIS is your new default viewer! :D

Adobe may have come up with PDF format, but it is, sadly, no longer the best software company to view/work with PDF files. I found resorting to using older Adobe product versions, simply because they were faster. Acrobat/Reader has become unbelievable bloatware. I found the PDF-XChange software to be faster and easier, with better interface, and producing just as high a quality PDF output as anything Adobe puts out. Highly recommend checking it out! Competition is good, and this software is definitely giving overpriced Adobe HOGWARE a run for the money!

program jest zajebisty!!!!

It is indeed THE software to use for viewing/editing pdf files. I hope products such as PDF-XChange Viewer beats Adobe's defective, clumsy and poorly integrated revenue streams and put them out of business. Adobe's products are not meant for the average user and are always in a pre-alpha release. Yet, it is very unfortunate that Adobe charges a minimum of $400 for Acrobat 9. Advantages of PDF-XChange Viewer: It works as advertised - opens, edits pdf files and even displays them in popular browsers (Firefox, Chrome and IE too) without error or warning dialogs. Fonts and figures appear crisp and clean.  

As an engineer I have used your viewer for about 2 years and have been blown away by your progress! I also converted our entire office over to your software. I will never look back to adobe bloatware again.

All I needed was something to highlight or block out parts of a PDF document before printing. I certainly wasn't going to pay out £100 for something I use rarely. This program does exactly what I need... and more. This is excellent simple to use no messing quality software. If I find I'm using it often, I will definitely purchase.  

I use it on a Windows 7 touchscreen. The chemistry is great! It satisfies two things I consider key; easy natural touch panning, and remembering the last viewed page. The pencil tool, even if not designed for a tablet pen, is surprisingly smooth with a stylus. My recommendation for tablet pc pdf reader.

Ottimo veramete.Consigliatissimo!!!

Buenísimo, hace mucho que lo estoy usando y la facilidad para hacer anotaciones y modificar los pdf me encanta. Es mucho más interactivo que los otros que he probado. Sólo diría que falla en su apariencia, el de adobe es mucho más bonito, pero bueno, es un detalle.

I just downloaded the PDF XChange Viewer, free version. I needed a program that allowed me to fill some PDF forms that didn't have "fillable fields", and so could not be filled in Acrobat Reader. I could use the typewriter tool from PDF XChange Viewer, and it worked like a charm. I could fill the form, and save it to return by e-mail with absolutely no problem. Great functionality, easy to use, and FREE! What more can I ask? Coffee? Great work, thank you very much!
