Pros
Powerful free PDF viewer with many annotate, shapes, comments, signatures features. Good and fast interface.
Cons
The PRO features, powerful edif features that you have to pay to use it, it's a little bit intrusive in the menus.
Summary
It's the best free PDF Viewer that you can get it.

Pros
The PDF-XChange prog is fine - I've used it for years.
Cons
The installer installs PUP.Optional.Spigot.A which is not easy to remove - no single protection or removal tool will remove all traces of this malware - you will need to run several different tools to remove it. The info you need is here:-

I had WinPatrol installed which kept informing me that something was trying to change my browser homepage to a uk.yahoo page.
Summary
Go to the the original software site to get the program:-

The more detailed editing is on the paid version

Pros
There are no pros to this malware spreader.
Half a star because I had to select a value. In fact, this should be five negative stars. You want a pdf reader and you get a nasty piece of malware.
Cons
Tried to f**k up my laptop, with some sort of impossible to remove browser hijacker.
Summary
*** has happened to the old Download.com, a site I remember fondly for being safe and useful? It is now neither of these things! If I didn't read the small print in this d/l, this was about to inject a very nasty piece of malware into my system. I couldn't opt out, ffs! The opt-out box was greyed out!!
Donwload.com, you can take the dirty money from these malware companies, but it's not worth the damage being done to your reputation. The only time I will ever come back here is to spread the word in these review boxes that you've become a spreader of malware, trojans and browser hijackers. Very, very disappointing!

Actually the extra crap it downloads is loaded by using the CNET Downloader. That is who is loading you down with crap.

Another good product downgraded by a loser who is incapable of looking out for and unticking boxes during download and installation, or without the brains to download direct from the maker's site.

You are correct!Be careful and "decline" everything!
Pros
I really like this viewer. This company has an update that is an editor. I also really like there support staff. Those guys are EXTREEMLY quick to respond, when I bought their pro version (which is really well priced BTW!) the responded to my email in under a minute! Yeah I know! The features are really nice.
Cons
Better to get the free version through Tracker software's website (the creators of this program). Downloading through this site puts a whole lotta shyte on my PC when downloading it from other websites.
Summary
Overall extremely satisfied with the actual product and with Tracker's support.

The extra crap has nothing to do with the product. I had the same problem, the extra crap comes from this site... noob.
Reply by TheHulkPower on March 20, 2014
Where u download from?
if u download from here = you get crapware extras...
you must have been clicking too fast when installing without optout extras...
next time here http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer
Pros
works well and is easy to use
Cons
A number of additional programs that infest themselves are installed concurrently without much control by the user.
Watch for all kinds of little boxes and uncheck them
Summary
It's not worth the fight of getting rid all the additional programs

Pros
The claims it makes keeps you hoping...
Cons
Its intermittent hiccups ans hangups has been the worst in my life time using PCs. This is a disgracefully unstable program.
Summary
If its behavior doesn't change in upcoming updates I just cleanse my system from its unwelcome agony, and leave this review behind; else, I'll come back and review this view...

Pros
Nothing at all
Cons
Don't quick the automatic install. Use custom option otherwise you'll install loads of programs and toolbars YOU don't want.
Program is a waste of time - you only get features you want with the PRO version. Stick with the Free Adobe Reader. You won't be able to edit any PDF with the Trial version.
Summary
If you want to edit or do anything more than read a PDF document, don't waste your time with the free / trial version.

Sorry, but what you say is untrue.
You DO get features you want in the free version, and you CAN edit or do anything more than read a PDF document.
Some features are available in evaluation mode in the free version. If you use them, all it means is you get a little symbol in the top corners of your document. Can you not live with that?
As for editing, there is amongst other things a typewriter tool useful for filling in forms.
And what about the snapshot tool for copying part or whole pages? That is free, too.
Please Wait
