I'm very happy to work with my pdf-files from ?AD. Very fast scrolling. Faster than Adobe (sometimes I used Adobe for the similar files). Now I like only PDF-XChange. The new version has some new nice features (it's ability to change colour, fonts or main background according to your style and mood, close even a single opened tab without closing the Viewer itself, also open/close pop-ups grouping them by colour...). I oftern send and read my pdf-files on another computers and haven't any problem. All my comments, notes, stamps, fonts, pictures are in its place. Also I can read pdf in my Firefox (with mark Edit -> preferences -> File Associations 'Display in Browser' ). I' grateful for this Viewer.

This inadequacy annoys me on a daily basis when I print out a journal paper so that I can go through it thoroughly. Such a sad waste of paper just for doodling and highlighting! A few days ago, this daily anguish came to a peak. I was sorely missing my laptop, it was throwing a particularly nasty malfunctioning tantrum, and seeking comfort by looking up tablets. Given the seriousness of my laptop problems, I was given some consideration to buying a new tablet with the functionality for taking notes on documents. Unfortunately, I got a bit scared of the steep prices. The “decent” tablets available on Trademe didn’t seem so decent anymore when I found out that they were just entertainment boxes with the added feature of being a tablet. That didn’t sound like a machine that would be a good tablet for reading and taking notes. So, i moved onto the next best thing: ebook readers. While these snazzy gadgets combined the functionalities I desired: reading pdf documents and commenting on them, the price was enough to throw me off completely. I meandered into the realm of graphic tablets. These primitive relatives of the tablet PC had me going for a while, particularly the Wacom Bamboo until I came to my senses and decided to check if they really could take notes on pdf documents. Turns out that the note-taking functionality of these funky digital pens is only good on Windows Vista. Given my allergy to that particular operating system, I decided to give them a miss too. Flustered from all that “research”, I took another step back and decided to check out the internet for free software that allow pdf editing. Unfortunately, Google mainly gave me hits for software that I would have to pay for. But, my tenacity paid off. After some gazillion searches, I found this blog. An enthusiastic installation followed this discovery with a accompanied by several whoops of joy. I had finally found something that was not only free but also incredibly good.

But the review is no longer accurate for build 2.0, as the editing features, e.g. deleting a page, are only available in Pro version. Reasons I think is better than Foxit: - keeps saved settings between sessions - you get a plugin for Firefox and IE - better rendering engine, much smoother - supports large vectorial images and native Adobe format - you can hide all ads/toolbars - shortcuts customizable, easy and common - advanced tweaks for memory and thread usage - portable version available Reasons I think it's worst than Foxit: - no minimize to tray available - heavy on ram (but also light on cpu) - bookmark icons are really ugly and intrusive I also agree it’s better than Foxit.

It integrates perfectly with Firefox as well as with IE 7. It displays graphics much better than Foxit. The free functions provide every feature the average user could ever want, as well as some that power users will appreciate. It is easy to add a comment or a "typewriter" note. You can rotate any page or selected pages. I wholeheartedly recommend this program. Of all the freeware PDF viewers I have tried, PDF Xchange Viewer 2.0 is the best.

The PRO features are all NEW features, Only items in the Document menu require pro. Even so, the $40 price tag does not strike me as outrageous, considering the alternative for many ends up being Acrobat (this is what they wanted to buy at my place of employment till I showed them PDF Xchange. @Tyler, The “free” functionality in 2.0 is exactly the same as 1.x.
