Create and Edit with PDF-XChange Viewer

My favorite program for reading PDF documents has been Foxit Reader for sometime. My inlaw however showed me this PDF-XChange Viewer which has different levels of licenses, you can get the basic version for FREE. What’s great about this software, besides being light and fast to load, is the ability it gives you for editing your PDF documents with labels, signs, hyperlink areas and much more. It even allows you to create a new PDF document from scratch through a nice editor. Some features are only in the Pro version though, or otherwise label your document with “Demo” words.

Simply PDF made easy… I don’t know if there’s anything more efficient than this application for Mac users, and the good part is that it comes built-in OS X.

Foxit Reader < 4 MB
PDF-XChange = 13 MB

Guess which would I’d pick? :P
I rarely edit PDFs anyway.

MacaholiQ8: Its best for viewing. Doesn’t edit :)

3baid: Yeah, you told me about Foxit :). Still, sometimes (even if rare) you need to edit so it’s good thing to have on the side.

MacaholiQ8: You like picking on my posts but I don’t see the mistake yet :). Yes, Foxit is for reading, however there is PDF-XChange for reading and editing. I will hold ground to what I said for now :)

nemo: Hope this helps them then :)

Anybody have heard about Skim for Mac Os users? It is definitely the best equivalence to pdf-xchange viewer. I can say that it is even better than that pdf editor for windows.
I was a mac user until one year ago and I tried to find some similar pdf editor for Skim. I think that pdf-xchange for windows is the best choice to edit and make notations in pdf docs.

crmartes: Thanks. Turns out I have it on my Mac. I needed to edit files once and it wasn’t so easy without the right tool :)
