PDF XChange Viewer - Adobe PDF Reader Alternative

In an earlier post I mentioned about PDFill Tools for operations on PDF files, now i came across PDF XChange Viewer which is a very useful new utility that serves as the best alternative to Adobe PDF Reader and Foxit Reader. PDF XChange is a PDF document viewing application that also allows you to add comments and annotations to your PDF files and has the ability to open multiple PDF files simultaneously in a tabbed mode.

Features :

Add Comments and Annotations to any PDF file (subject to security settings) – unlike the Adobe Viewer which requires the PDF creation tool to be ‘certified’ by Adobe !

Mark-up pages with text and objects

Type directly on any PDF page, not just Adobe enabled forms documents – in Typewriter mode.

Export PDF pages or entire files to any one of the supported Image formats including BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG and many more …

Extract text from a PDF page/File

Make your navigation of large or complex PDF files both simple and enjoyable with the extended functionality of our ‘Loupe’ and the ‘Pan’ Window tools

Fill and Save Adobe Forms to disk, email or ‘post’ !

Full Javascript Engine included

Updated JPEG2000 Compression support – improving speed.

Plug-Ins for both MS IE or Firefox Browser’s included

Integrate seamlessly with your favourite translation software to translate text on the ‘fly’ – including : ABBYY Lingvo 12, Translate It!, Lingoes.

Includes comprehensive Help file and PDF Manual – no extra downloads required to add features etc.

There is also a portable version of this utility which requires no installation and can be used directly from a CD or USB stick.It can be downloaded from here.
