"Doesn't worth the installation"
Version: Haihaisoft PDF Reader 1.0.3
Pros
It's free (so are viruses)
Cons
Doesn't comply with the DRM profile of the file
Not stable
Most of the time doesn't work!Summary
I've spent about 3 days evaluating Haihaisoft DRM-X encryption tool for plain PDF files.
More then the "basic" problem that I've never succeeded to get to a stage, that the DRM protected file which I've created with their online tool, actually behaved like a protected file, their tools are not stable, display errors in several situations and don't behave consistently.
I've tried to protect a plain PDF file with a profile which allows 1 hour access to the file. The creation of the file went smooth. The problems start immediately after. You are supposed to open the file through a dedicated PDF Reader (from Haihaisoft), the file opens after an authentication session - no problem. The thing is that after an hour there is no problem to reopen it. It seems like their PDF Reader doesn't comply with the expiration profile embedded in the encrypted file.
To eliminate the possibility that I have done something wrong, I've asked their support to create a file DRM protected (with 1 hour expiration profile) and send it to me. Same results! I could open this file even a day after. When I've asked the support what is going on? The answer was: We checked it and here (at their premises) it works - go figure !?
Conclusion: I've spend $12 on one month subscription, My suggestion is: Don't repeat my mistake! But if you do, make sure that your DRMed encrypted files actually behave how they supposed to.
I must emphasis that I checked only the "Protect a plain PDF" feature from DRM-x. I don't have any opinion regard their other features. -
"Extremely lightweight (barebones almost)"
Version: Haihaisoft PDF Reader 1.0.3
Pros
If you're looking for something to just simply view PDFs, this will do the job. I've particularly used it on my older computers, where system resources are an issue.
Cons
I'm not sure.
Summary
If you need something robust, use something else.

"Copyright violation"
Version: Haihaisoft PDF Reader 1.0.0.5
Cons
The software is stolen from Sumatra PDF.
The author of Haihaisoft PDF Reader doesnt comply with the licence agreement (GPL) thus have lost the right to use Sumatra PDF or its code. In order to comply Haihaisoft PDF Reader would have to be released under the GPL and the source code released to the users.
