  does what it says

  by: multi-timm on 25-Feb-2008 05:32:09 AM

  Pros: This program does what it says! I was looking for a program to view PDFs, AND to fill out PDF forms and save the forms. Acrobat Reader would not allow me to save PDF forms (not these ones), and this program allows me to annotate (fill them out) and to save them with my changes. My forms had tables and they displayed fine and filling out on the blanks worked as expected. Exactly what I was looking for. Viewing other PDFs worked fine too, including ones with graphics (I opened "Web design in 7 days.pdf" which has a nice mix of font sizes, graphics.

  Cons: I can't think of anything right now. I COULD give you negative feedback on the OTHER ones I tried... they either had the save feature disabled or imprinted a watermark or imprinted an evaluation copy notice in the saved documents, which I did not like (FoxIt seemed very promising but it falls into that category. Mind you, paying $35 for their software is not unreasonable if you are happy with it - it's not like its in the hundreds or something like that, still, for me, I preferred a free one in this software category, since I use this so rarely). Another said it edit but I found it to only merge PDFs (which I can do on the source document level so for me this is useless). So I tried half a dozen so called "free" ones, and this one was the only truly free one, and it does the job very well. So no criticism for now. Good job guys (and gals)! 4 stars because one of the larger fonts did not appear to have perfect microspacing in one of the documents I opened - it was too tight (but the rest of the document, the more normal sized fonts were fine).

  very good

  by: baaasil on 19-Jan-2008 08:25:04 PM

  Pros: i only downoaded this sw less than an hour ago, opened a large PDF and looked around the options, then went on reading.

  i have to say that this seems to be the end of Adobe Reader.

  This is fast, well equipped with features and seems to only use mem/cpu when navigating, ie momentarily.

  Its early for me to write a review but this sw is impressive.

  Cons: the text/images take time to load when cpu is busy, eg during a virus scan.

  but the page frame and page count aren't affected.
