Battle Adobe Reader XI vs Foxit Reader 6 vs SumatraPDF 2.3.2

[Paul.R]

Hi!

I want to know how pdf reader is the best. At the moment I use Adobe Reader XI, but I want to do some changes.
Also I want to know if Foxit Reader 6 has asktoolbar.

Thanks!

Have a nice day!

I used to use and prefer pdf xchange. I just use the one built into windows 8 now though.

You've not clarified what you're looking for from your PDF software, something basic or do you require advanced functionality?

Sorry, my bad. I don't care, anything is good(basic,advanced).

I just take a look over SumatraPDF and I notice he does not see a clear picture like Adobe Reader XI or Foxit Reader 6.
Foxit Reader 6 has Ask, take a look at this(54):

Also I found other 2 pdf readers:
-> http://www.qiqqa.com/
-> http://geniuspdf.com/ ( https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a43f9e36be2531ecf2b9d6074e137635430e60862fb760dac7e7545fb87be7ea/analysis/ )
(GeniusPDF is a rebrand of SumatraPDF).
Earth please "rebrand" poll.

SumatraPDF runs much lighter and is much faster displaying large PDF documents. Another plus is it never has problems with browser extension, doesn't have any bundled adware in its installer and doesn't displays ads when using it.

SumatraPDF also keeps a history of your opened documents for easy access.

I kept having problems in the past with Foxit Reader and PDF Exchange not supporting Firefox extensions or the extension getting corrupted each time Firefox updated, I got tried of having to manually remove the extensions and reinstall the program each time. I had to save the documents to my hard disk and manually open them. Adobe Reader is extremely slow loading large documents and is a resource hog. Foxit Reader has went to the dark side with bundled adware in their installer and displaying ads all over the program when running it.

Nitro PDF Reader is another good option, it is lite and doesn't have bundled adware or ads, but SumatraPDF is the best PDF reader that I have ever used.

Enjoy!!

I vote fror Foxit Reader over Adobe Reader for the obvious reasons.
I have not tried Sumatra - I might give it a try.

Here's something to test and try also, Browser and Web versions:

PDF.js is in development by Mozilla Labs;
Mozilla Firefox (More Info)

Use Chrome's built-in PDF Viewer plugin;
Google Chrome (More Info)

Use 'Word Web App' on Outlook.com, SkyDrive and Office 365 to view PDF's online;
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome (More Info)

If you use Chrome, you can use it offline. Might be possible with Mozilla Firefox and PDF.js (not tested).

Other browsers, may require a standalone installed PDF software.

Vote for Foxit!
I don't use Adobe because it's such a memory hog.
and Sumatra because sometime it's fail to display image correctly.
