“Attractive PDF viewer and editor”

by Niamh Lynch

If there is something I have learned over the last few years, it's that a good PDF viewer is hard to find. They are either ugly, slow, lack functions or, more often, all three. Will PDF-XChange Viewer be any different?

Well, I'm pleased to say it is. PDF-XChange Viewer allows you to view and edit PDFs, all from within an attractive and intuitive interface. Viewing is fast and smooth - you can skip through and back pages, view documents in a variety of layouts, and search and find pages and keywords seamlessly. PDF-XChange Viewer's toolbars are totally customizable, and there is a considerable range of configuration options.

PDF-XChange Viewer's editing options are also impressive. Although this version doesn't actually allow you to create documents from scratch, it does let you edit extensively, with a few exceptions, mainly the ability to add or remove pages. Commenting, underlining, stamping, attaching files and creating text boxes are all easily done, and can be modified and removed in the click of a button. There are also tooltips, so you know what you are doing before you click. This feature is actually very welcome, as the PDF-XChange Viewer help is not very good. Additional cool features include a snapshot tool, document preview when opening PDFs and a huge range of interface language options.

PDF-XChange Viewer is a great PDF editor that is streets ahead of many of its rivals.
