man.with.a.plan Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I've been using Nitro Pro for reading books. It's fast AF but one thing I noticed was that the Edge browser allowed smooth scrolling with touchpad and that I could move down the text as little as I liked but with Nitro, it's like a "jerk-scrolling" . Any suggestions regarding this? Also Adobe is pretty slow... So any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 For PDF viewing, I prefer SumatraPDF for it's speedy loading and bare-bone fullscreen optics. For PDF editing, I prefer Iceni Infix Pro — have also got Adobe Acrobat on all my systems (but Iceni Infix Pro offers superior editing options.)

But is there a soft with both these qualities? It's not possible ATM, for a software to have both qualities — the moment the PDF editing factor is brought into the picture, all hopes of a speedy loading are dashed to the ground. My workaround is to default the opening (viewing) of PDF files to SumatraPDF — on the those occasions when I need to edit PDF files, I just need to right-click them to access my PDF editors (Iceni Infix Pro and Adobe Acrobat)— Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyman Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 After years of trying all the well-known PDF apps (and some of the less-known), Tracker Software products have become my favourites: PDF-XChange Editor for editing AND viewing & PDF-XChange PRO (which contains the Editor) for editing, viewing, and printing. Their PDF-XChange Viewer is also a superb PDF reader with basic editing functions - and very light on resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because portables cannot usually be made default programs. Otherwise, if you use the INSTALLED version, you should get this screen at startup, from which you can make it the default program for PDFs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way would be to right click on the pdf file < open with < select your pdf reader < then check the box which states always use this app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nir Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 SumtraPDF as default viewer is excellent. For editing PDF-XChange on demand is sufficient for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use that combination too, or PDF-XChange Viewer for viewing & PDF-XChange Editor for editing - ONLY because in version 7 the XChange Editor has rendering glitches, otherwise I use that for all my PDF needs. As a fallback, I very rarely use Acrobat - for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
