And as far as we're concerned, PDF-XChange Viewer is quite an advanced application, relying on a very clean and pleasant interface that provides instant access to all the features.

And speaking of interface, PDF-XChange Viewer comes with the now-popular tabbed look, which means you can safely open multiple PDF files in the same window, just like in the same way Firefox does with websites.

PDF-XChange Viewer remains light on computer resources and works very smooth even when opening both small and large PDF files, providing exactly the utilities you'd expect from a powerful PDF viewer, including zoom tools, comment and markup tools, measuring goodies and link functions.

In addition, PDF-XChange Viewer boasts an advanced export to image feature which lets you save any PDF file as a photo. Supported formats include BMP, PNG, JPEG, TGA, GIF and TIFF.

Last but not least, the application sports a huge settings menu, with options concerning basically every single component, such as performance, rendering, page display, file associations, forms, commenting, snapthos, identity, security and search providers.

As a conclusion, PDF-XChange Viewer is one of the best, if not the best, replacement for the famous application wearing Adobe's badge. And since it's completely freeware, it deserves at least a chance. It handles PDF files so good that you'll definitely be impressed.
