PDF-XChange Co Ltd

I love this tool. During installation watch out to uncheck the additional install of toolbars & other unwanted stuff. Once installed you definately want to limit the RAM usage to a smaller amount. Their renderer is so fast that you kan keep the memory footprint small. Just compared it to Foxit-Reader and Acrobat Reader which are both a lot slower. I use the editing functions a lot to work with PDFs.

Only free one I found that could easily export page images from a PDF that had a background level - and in whatever dpi I wanted, fantastic. Photoshop Elements couldn't handle it ! Looks like becoming my reader of choice.

Great product. The company I work for sends me PDF docs to review but hasn't got round to providing the software to review electronically. PDF-XChange Viewer made it very easy with text boxes and the pencil tool. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Steve.

Great! Finally, a program that allows instant editing on a pdf doc. This is going to help with my assignments; no more uploading and waiting for email. Thanx!

In my opinion, this product is much better than adobe reader and the others that I have tried using. I would recommend this to everyone.

This is one of the best free products Iæve ever found! It totally replaces Adobe Acrobat Reader, and gives me lots of useful tools in addition. I can now rotate, stamp and comment on the PDF files I've created ) with another free tool. PDF-XChange Viewer is a lot faster than Acrobat.

17 May 2010 06:55:35

Love this product!

A wonderful tool with a very nice UI. But it would be great if there could be a possibility to split the window horizontally and/or vertically. Often i need to read/compare two documents. Having the first document in the upper (or left) split and the second in the other split would improve this applicatiion and set a milestone in usabliity.

My son is a student who has access to download and read certain files through his college, but they limit usage to 24 hours - it's ridiculous as he can go back and download/read the file again the next day! You can fool the thing by changing your computer date, but it's annoying. I found your software and it is BRILLIANT! Allows us to access and mark up the files without any problems. THANK YOU!

This product is what I've been waiting and searching for. Still can't believt that it is so easy to edit/modify PDF files. Thank you.

This product is great! I am a designer and a lot of drawings come in pdf file that I have to review. The software is easy enough to start editing right after the download.This saves everyone time!

Downloaded this program this morning because I was sick of printing off and highlighting PDFs, it's brilliant, so many options for marking pages! Excellent, thanks very much!

17 Apr 2010 13:40:56

I'm an engineering student about to finish his last year of school. In the past 3 months I've discovered your free PDF viewer and I just wanted to tell your company what an amazing product it is. This is by far the most useful, feature filled pdf viewer I've ever seen. I helped my room mate build his computer and when it came time to install a PDF client, I put your viewer software on his computer. He is a biology student and spends a lot of time reading articles, we both do actually, and as soon as he spent a few minutes using the Xchange viewer he was sold. The simple inclusion of tabs makes this one of the best clients he and I have ever used. This software is just a great example of how stagnant adobe has become in developing their software, and what a fresh perspective can do for PDF. I love that there are no nagging updates, the picture tool, the highlight / note tool, the text select: the entire package seems to be developed by someone who understands the practical aspect of how I use PDFs. Thanks for making this available for free- once I get a proper job I intend to buy your standard PDF tools package and support your work. Thanks again for such a convenient tool! -Will

I do love this software - and I mean LOVE IT!. It's the best thing for reading (and much more) PDF files.

I love this program. I've been using the free portable version for a couple years now and it always works flawlessly. Review and commenting options are superb as is the constant frequent updates. Please keep a free portable version available! Keep up the great work!

This has got to be the most awesome program I've ever run across in my entire life. I'm a fanatic for customization - you guys have expanded my expectations enormously. Being able to modify menus (file, view etc.) is simply unheard of. Keeping in line with the immense customization you put in, I think the Preferences could be expanded a little to define more defaults. Bravo!!!

Oh thank God -- now I can get rid of that horrible Adobe Reader I've been fuming about for years. I downloaded your Viewer today and within 5 minutes I had updated a file that I spent all last night trying to fix. Good work and thank you!

XChange Viewer is perfect. Its lightweight, fast and stable. Its feature rich for a free product and on top of everything they offer same-day support for the free product! That is simply unheard of, even for a paid product.

Andrew

All I needed was an alternative to Adobe Reader. I've tried others, but PDF XChange is a KEEPER! The ability to choose a custom scale percentage for printing is awesome. All of the other programs only had preset percentages to choose from. Now I can print PDF's manuals that the left margin is zero by choosing ANY percentage that compensates for the lack of the left margin. Thanks!

06 Mar 2010 13:51:32

Excuse me, please... What's the point of Adobe Reader? If you have PDF-XChange - no point is the answer !

04 Mar 2010 14:13:24

Dr. Nemo

Your program has no comparison. Congratulations on realizing that pdf programs can be made smaller, faster, and cheaper than the traditional alternative (e.g. - FREE!) . My business would not work without it.

04 Mar 2010 12:30:35

Thank you so much for this program. When I upgraded to Window 7, every time I tried to open a pdf document in my web browser with Adobe Reader I got an error.....it would not open! I wasn't alone, and couldn't find a fix; so I searched around and tried a few pdf readers until I found yours. PDF X-change reader works perfectly. I have recommended PDF X-change to everyone! Thanks again for a great product

The PDF XChange Viewer is just perfect. One more reason for it: running any browser other than Internet Explorer in Windows Vista with low integrity (=higher security) settings, Adobe products will simply crash or not open at all. Your portable and free program, however, is performing flawlessly! Thank you. - C

I really love this product. Lighter, faster and with so many easy options. Thank you!

THANK YOU for providing a superb alternative to the completely over-bloated and outrageously expensive Adobe product! John O http://johnoverton.org

John Overton

I dont produce pdf drawings I only need to read them and until now couldn't scale between points on screen. This amazing free download allows me to do just that without buying expensive software of which 90% I wont use, not to mention the long hours I would need to find out how to use it. I can use whatever scale I need. Thank you so much.

I recommend PDF-XChange to anybody who wants clean software, that does what it says with other excellent features. I would never go back to Acrobat!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the developers of the PDF XChange Viewer. I have been searching for weeks now for a free program that would convert my PDF files to high resolution jpegs (without the use of Adobe programs). A massive thanks as the program works brilliantly, has great export options and is easy to use. Many thanks again! April

PDF XChange Viewer: the best pdf viewer out there. Keep up the good work and try to update and fixing the powerful free version

Well, you asked me to let you know how the rollout went - incredibly well is the reply! You guys have the honour of being the first software company to ever have users phoning me up to say how much better and faster the new program is. In thirteen years of working in IT, I don't think I've ever seen this kind of response to a product. We have had a few teething problems, but they were all with specific PDF files in the first couple of days, and I've not heard a single complaint since then. I've raised all the issues with docu-track already, but the short list of problems we've found is: doesn't handle 3D fair enough really, we can wait for this slow with some (complex) drawings it's faster than Acrobat though, and docu-track have ideas to fix this already! some illegible printouts This was just for one specific PDF, and printing in image mode is a valid workaround. looses text formatting when editing PDF's created in Nitro Hopefully this will be fixed in a later version, but Acrobat couldn't even edit PDF's, so I'm not going to complain about this . No Undo function, and Copy/Paste function not working I understand that all of these are in active development - and I guess this is what you get for rolling out a beta So in Summary: We rolled out a beta version of PDF XChange Within a few hours users were commenting on how good it was We had no major problems during the rollout And have had zero complaints in the last 10 days It's noticably faster than Adobe Acrobat The MSI rolls out really easily It's not likely to be as vulnerable to the usual PDF viruses There's no way we're going back to Adobe now. PDF XChange is going to be our default viewer for the foreseeable future, and we'll definitely be looking at docu-track's other products for generating PDF's too.

In running Server 2008 x64 (modified to workstation) on Q9450, im in constant search of 64 bit software to replace old 32 bit tech and utilize my system more. Well this is the only 64 bit PDF viewer and boy its fast, I compared it to latest Adobe reader 9 (tweaked with no plug-ins) and Foxit reader 2.3, what I did is simple took 300 page 70mb pdf and scrolled from first page to lowest ads fast as possible. The only software witch did it SMOOTH in seconds was PDF-Viewer, I was AMAZED. Another big surprise is that the software actually supports Multi Core , up to 8 Threads. You can leave it Auto or decide 1,2,4 or 8 threads. I changed everything to 1 and it still worked as fast as before. Well this software made with love by Geeks like me who want to squeeze every beet of performance possible, even big company like Adobe don’t have ANY 64 bit software yet. So yes, this software is Officially fastest PDF viewer in the world and only one 64 bit and Multi Core support!! Thanks you for such great gift to US. Best Regards, Benny from Israel.

I'm writing to leave a simple thank-you for the developers. I started my simple PDF editing needs some time ago using Adobe Acrobat versions 4 and 5, and stopped upgrading from there because of the costs. I've found several means to generate PDF documents, previously using PostScript printing and Ghostscript conversion, and more recently just using the interface to those program provided by PDF Creator. My needs for editing PDF documents have been rather simple too, in that all I really do is import, export, delete, rotate, crop ... etc. the pages of a PDF document. About the only thing I might consider unique for my usage is the occasional need to extract an image stored in the PDF file (Acrobat worked really well for this). For working with pages, I've pretty much stuck with some free tools such as: PDFTK Builder and PDFFill. What I found really great about PDF X-Change Viewer is that you provide a graphical/visual means for cropping a page. Most of the free tools I've found only allow you to enter measurements for how far to crop in from the edge ... it just takes too many times doing it that way before it is right. I even looked at how Cute PDF did there cropping, and for a paid product it was no better than the free tools. I've looked at other commercial tools too that could perform the above, but they end up charging again too much for just the features I need. They start bundling all the PDF creation and form editing features I don't use. So, when I finally came across your viewer last week, I played with it for a few days and thought it fit my needs perfectly! And, when 3 licences cost only $60, I can't justify using any other free programs anymore. So, I bid you a simple thank-you and am eager to use image extraction in the PRO viewer once you add it.

The latest release of xchange viewer is perfect now for what I want . THanks so much. I especially appreciate the ability to group comments by color, this is absolutely invaluable for writing essays on books. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

Just want to show my appreciation and let you guys know I love the program so much, especially the following features: · The isolated first page (the cover) in Facing mode -- makes it like the real document since some soft copy of documents use the whole two (facing) pages to put a very large picture · A very smooth rendering of pages, even when zooming · Tabbed PDFs (more excellent if we can rearrange the tabs as well!) · Tabs thumbnail · Right-clicking on Tabs lets you open containing folders · A generally practical side-pane design (as an example the zoom in/out buttons for the page-thumbnail/bookmarks pane) · Asterisk on a modified and unsaved document · The button at the bottom right corner that allows you to open a PDF on a different program and opening it on the same spot. · and other various minor details you guys have paid attention to I've gone PRO since I can't live without the bookmarks. The coming features look exciting (page insertion & extraction etc). looking forward to them Cheers
