What’s This About?

PDF-XChange Viewer is a fully portable application with a tabbed interface and extensive options for adding notes, text, highlights, drawing, etc. on a PDF file.

Why Would You Want It?

There are plenty of PDF file viewers available and most of them are free. Acrobat is bloated and slow, Foxit is good but not portable (Yes you can make Foxit portable using a wrapper , downloading the original installer and then using an extractor to get the executable – but who’s got that long to live!) PDF-XChange Viewer provides a fully portable (English Language) version with a tabbed interface and lots of useful options for direct download. The download has been kept small by stripping all unnecessary files including the language files so you miss out on these and a help file. Not only that but it is fast, relatively light.
