I still use Foxit 9.72 on my pc (which I don't have open ATM, so I can't check to be certain I gave the right version). I have tried newer versions, but there always was some kind of enshittyfication change that annoyed me and I always reverted back to that last good version.

Did nobody learn from Clippy?! At least make it a purple gorilla ffs.

There is no good PDF reader. All of them suck in different ways.

[–] bfg9k@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just use Firefox to open pdfs. If I have to sign it I'll just use an online signer.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You're fine uploading those documents online to some random website?

[–] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I do the same, except jump to adobe reader if I have to sign. But come on, this doesn’t satisfies either of us.

As a Linux user, I was rather surprised to learn that Windows doesn't have a good pdf viewer. (Sumatra was the closest I could get.) Scientific software I can understand, but pdf viewer? Wtf?

[–] FrenLivesMatter@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm on Windows 11 and it opens PDF files in Edge by default. While I find it kind of silly to use a web browser for that purpose, the built-in PDF reader is actually fairly good, it can even read your documents out loud using text-to-speech.

[–] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Edge’s reader is decent I agree. But in what kind of bizarro world do one use a browser to read PDFs.

It pains me to say, but this is one area where Apple beats everyone. Their default PDF reader can do a LOT, it’s free, it’s already there and crucially it’s lightweight and not bogged down with shitty functionality no one needs, nor bristling with upsell towards premium features.

Indeed, Preview really is excellent. Does almost everything you'll ever need and nothing you don't.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Use SumatraPDF or Okular

[–] klangcola@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Another good option on Windows is PDF XChange Editor, though I'm using an old version so I can't vouch for how much or little enshitification has happened in newer versions

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

This has been my favourite for pdfs so far, really easy to use. Wish there was an app version.

[–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Adobe PDF is also good if you know where to get it for free. I esp. rely on the editing feature of Adobe PDF. Has saved me so much hassle to edit PDF files cleanly.
