    It showed the text in the forms; something the other alternatives didn't. Easy to install and use through Antergos.

    Very similar. Foxit UI is much nicer, but PDF-XChange wins in features: rotating pages and saving them rotated, exporting pdf's as images are really useful.

    The PDF-XChange Viewer has been discontinued and replaced by the PDF-XChange Editor which included all the features of the Viewer. And it is also free! (the free version is available but it is not immediately obvious from the app's site)

    Under Linux, there are fewer functionalities: you can't add notes (underline, highlight, type script, etc.)
