I prefer PDF-Xchange over it.L E G A L N O TIC ES Copyright © 2011 Nuance Communications, Inc. I do use Sumatra on my portable drive, however.įoxit. Again, like Nuance, I wouldn't use this for my viewer because it's too slow for that. it can do anything and does pdf markups/creation/editing better than any other program available. When I need to really work with pdfs, this is what I use. But I wouldn't use it for my viewer.īluebeam Revu. Also, nuance has nice layout features and powerful editing features. To me, speed is two different issues: startup speed, and operating speed. Once in the application, it behaves quickly. Nuance is also good, but definitely not in the "fast" category as far as starting up. It's fast, it looks good, and it has tabs (you have to have tabs!). So here's my latest update:įor the first time, I have to agree that out of the options, my favorite viewer is PDF-Xchange.

While it was working, it did a much better job of making some of my pdfs searchable (version 4 produced less accurate files that were "jerky" when I scrolled through them with Acrobat Reader. At any rate, I failed to return it to functionality after that reboot and uninstalled it. I suspect that with all that I missed an installer (or a reference to an installer) somewhere that keeps messing with things on reboot. In these folders, I found sub-folders from Scansoft, Nuance, and Zeon that had PDF Converter 4 references. I also found lots of references to version 4 in Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data and also Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data. The keys are labelled by program and number (e.g. However, I am confident that it is an issue with leftover keys as installing PDFC Pro 5 on a clean install of Vista is rock solid. I gave up when the fix I describe below didn't survive a reboot (this is from a PM I sent someone in August). Jim - I had that problem with PDF Converter Pro 5 as well and traced it to having remnants of either version 4 or version 3 in the registry and/or Documents and User Settings/User folder.
