I voted for PDF-XChange Viewer but am currently using the new PDF-XChange Editor (Pro). I own their professional package.
I used to use PDF-XC a lot but switched to Adobe when I wasn't sure what was happening with the new version. I've had a look at it but can't seem to see the advantages over Adobe any more. I think I can live with Adobe these days.
Right now I'm using Chrome to open PDF files. In past I was also using PDF-XChange and Foxit. Don't remember when was the last time I've used Adobe. hqsec
I've heard a lot about Sumatra, so I just downloaded it and took a look. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an "Advanced Search" as far as I can tell. Adobe's Advanced Search displays all instances of the term, letting me look to see the different uses: Clicking on any of the results jumps to the page in the document. Sumatra's search of the same term requires me to go from page to page: I use the Advanced Search frequently, so Sumatra would be a time waster. Otherwise, a nice program. ---- rich
Yes unfortunately Sumatra takes the user to the searched term from page to page. I can live with it. For me the benefits outweigh this little inconvenience. Yes it's great.
Dumped Foxit which I've used for years recently because I hate the whole Open Candy/exciting software deal etc that comes with the installer, trying Nitro. Works OK. Might try PDF exchange after that. Cheers
Iv been using Foxit Phantom Business Edition for many years now. I see it as a complete replacement for Adobe X . It does everything just as well without without the extra rubbish services like FlexNet licensing service that installs itself everywhere in the system.
Pro version has this option. If you want free software with this option, you can use Foxit Reader, which can convert documents to PDF. hqsec
TY. But I hate hate hate FoxIt. Used to be good. Then it'd have updates every 3 weeks. Then bundled ad option out ware. Oh & the bloat now it's 20x it's original size.
That's why I like PDF-Xchange. It is simple with no bloat. For printing to PDF I use free CutePDF writer. hqsec
