Dear discussants,
As you may or may not be aware, we are planning to overhaul the pdfreaders.org website. As part of the future changes, we are planning to replace the current table with platform-specific reader recommendations. Thus, it would be beneficial if you listed the pros and cons of the free readers you actively use and the criteria we should consider when evaluating the readers. The reason behind this request is very simple: Today I had a rather interesting talk with the leader of Estonian Pirate Party, and we happened to discuss free PDF readers, and our use cases were just so dramatically different – I use PDFs for reading only, but for him good annotation system was a must – that I decided to ask as diverse audience as possible for input.
Thus, could you please tell us why a certain free reader is better than the alternatives or elaborate on your daily use? Please tell us what we should consider when we are going to make the final choice on recommendations.
Thanks.
Some ideas: -> Existence of a browser plug-in (the idea is from Hannes, I think) -> Annotation system
Faithfully yours,
