That’s thanks to the fact that it uses the same ribbon-style menu as Microsoft Office. The software can be a little intimidating at first, but it’s relatively straightforward to navigate. The only thing that’s lacking in the free version is support for optical character recognition in scanned documents. Or, you can scan a document or image and turn it into a PDF using Foxit Reader. Integration with Microsoft Office allows you to easily turn documents you’re working on into PDFs. Read our full Adobe Acrobat Reader DC reviewįoxit PDF Reader is more than just a free PDF reader – you can also create PDFs from scratch using this software.

If you can overlook this, it’s a great tool, but there are less obtrusive ones out there. Sadly, the adware side of things is pretty much everywhere: you get ‘try now’ buttons, you’re offered to use powerful tools but later are asked to pony up some cash in order to actually use them, there’s even a ‘7-day trial’ button. In our review, we reckoned that “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is one of the best free PDF readers for anyone looking to view documents and manipulate them in some way.” It’s simple, easy to use, and comes with all the basic features you need to interact with PDF files. If it wasn’t for the latter, Acrobat Reader would be a decent addition to your software library. The second is to convince you to upgrade to the paid version of the software (which, you’ve guessed it, has many more features, including the ability to create and edit PDF files). Its PDF creator would be the main reason to use it.The top PDF viewer is designed with two purposes in mind: the first is to enable you to read and interact with PDF files (including adding annotations and even signing a document).


If you don't mind how slow it is when viewing large images then you should try it. If they improve the speed I'll definitely use it again. Nitro 3 was a great improvement in the past, but it hasn't had any upgrades while the pro version is at version 9. Other PDF viewers have improved and there are PDF tools available to edit PDFs, so Nitro hasn't become a real necessity. I really like Nitro, but the sluggish behavior has made me change to a new PDF viewer. But, recently I work with PDFs with large images and Nitro seems rather slow when opening them and turning to each page. It also can extract content, snapshot, notes & commenting, form filler, Quicksign, web restriction and java script disablement. It's strong point is that it has a great PDF creator in which you can customize the PDF the way you want to. I've used Nitro Reader for Years and was always the best one to me compared to others.
