Product Reviews for PDF-XChange Viewer

solitamente non lascio commenti o recensioni ma farò un'eccezione.Insieme ad alcuni colleghi avevo necessità di stampare delle pagine pdf in questa configurazione: foglio orizzontale, 2 slide per foglio messe in verticale (una sopra l'altra) spostate tutte a sinistra in modo da lasciare a destra spazio per scrivere commenti a mano. Con un altro programma ben noto e molto molto costoso non è stato possibile.... con pdf xchange basta spuntare centratura automatica pagine nella cella.. semplicemente perfetto

Un vero capolavoro di programma, e interessante e molto funzionale, provatelo e vedrete i Vostri risultati.

Consiglio ottimo programma, Braviiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Uninstalling the bloated Adoobe reader and declining their EULA is about the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Great job PDF Exchange!

Very good software. I just miss horizontal scrolling and the autoscroll feature. But the software is great overall.

PDF-XChange Viewer is so simple and does almost everything I want it to do, for free:

-I don't need to call our IT Department, as the file runs as an executable;

-I can easily modify lines and shapes to use for marking up plans as I review them, and can add callouts and comments to make notations;

-All tools seem very simple to modify;

-I can measure, and mark, dimensions automatically;

-I can save my work as copies or originals;

-Many colors are available for tools;

-Faster to markup online than on paper;

-Editable, as each marking or comment I make is selectable, even after saving the file.



This is just a quick and dirty reivew, but this product has made my work simpler, and more professional.

What do I wish it could also do? I'd like to be able to add layers, and to turn on and off existing layers. Can't think of much else.

Why use anything else - best of both worlds (Adobe and Foxit).

The new Foxit interface became too simple - removed essential buttons.

Started looking for alternatives and found the perfect one!

I am a highly technical and professional user. I am also a developer and do a lot of legal work with PDF's. PDF-XChange Viewer so outclasses Acrobat X that its almost hard to make a comparison for one reason. It works. For example, I have a PDF that is over 7,000 pages. Adobe will not OCR this document. It gets through about 5,200 pages and fails alleging that its out of memory or disk space, when in fact there's gigabytes of memory and terrabytes of disk space available. PDF-XChange does the full 7,000 page document without complaining, and I've noticed no difference in accuracy.



Further, if you are trying to print single pages of a large PDF my observation is that Adobe Acrobat X bleeds about 1 Megabyte of memory per page printed. So if you start a session and want to print a bunch of individual pages (say a few hundred out of several thousand) it will keep 1 Megabyte for each page you print until it finally runs out of memory (itself, not your system memory) and when it does it will crash, and sometimes the crash will bring down Windows. If you try to run prints from a macro that is printing your single pages to send them to OneNote one page at a time or from a list of pages you need held in a file, you can count on Adobe Acrobat X crashing once you cross the threshold. PDF-XChange does not have this problem. It merrily handles single page printing driven from macros (with the appropriate delays) and does not crash. I did this for two documents over 5,000 pages, one page at a time, printing all pages. The product could be faster if the screen updates and previews could be turned off, but the point is Adobe Acrobat can't even do this without crashing.



I really like this product. I just wish it was on Linux, so I could get away from the inherent instability of Windows entirely. DO NOT BUY ACROBAT X, before you try this product.
