PDF-XChange Viewer Comments

PDF exchange viewer is lightweight, in terms of both disc space and cpu use, and of the PDF viewers I have used is the best alternative to Adobe Reader. The reason I came across PDF XChange Viewer was because Foxit Reader which I had previously used didn't correctly render many images embedded in various PDF's I have. The two readers are nearly equal in quality but because of the better image rendering I choose to use this as my alternative to the resource heavy Adobe Reader.

Compared to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and Foxit Reader, this one lets you easily markup, remove markups, and select text within markups.

However, after my previous post I found out that as of version 4 Foxit Reader has no longer any limitations such as the mentioned watermark when filling forms with the Typewriter tool - there is no longer a paid version of Foxit Reader (Foxit Reader Pro).
Foxit PDF Editor (commercial) is still available and offers extended PDF editing features.
Just like the commercial 'Pro' version of PDF XChange Viewer.

PDF XChange Viewer is much more than just a 'viewer'. This one is great for filling forms with the Typewriter feature, which is also available in the free version without any watermarks being added (which is what Foxit does). PDF XChange Viewer even allows removing/deleting watermarks added by other application cough

Of course most other editing features are only available in the commercial 'Pro' version.

It's an excellent PDF viewer, lightweight and with highly customizable menus. But the main reason I like PDF XChange is the automatic creation of thumbnails in Explorer, a feature that's bugged on 64bit Windows systems with Adobe Reader (although there's a user-created fix), and missing entirely from my previous favorite PDF viewer Foxit (it's been on their to-do list for 4 years.)

I was a foxit user, but found that PDF XChange viewer gives a fuller set of editing options. I generally use it to make highlights and comments on PDF files.
