That’s because SumatraPDF uses MuPDF for rendering PDF files. ;)

I personally recommend the PDF Xchange Viewer. It has a most satisfactory pop-up speed, and as importantly, displays even highly complicated documents where redraw speed is in demand, fast. To determine this, I use as reference the “Weller’s” Map of Rio de Janeiro, which wis quite a challenge to redraw an scroll and zoom, and clearly shows up the weakness of, eg., Foxit.

I could compare Adobe Reader, Foxit and Pdf-XChange Viewer and found that Pdf-XChange is the faster than others. Now I use Pdf-XChange PRO and I’m very satisfied with its work. There are Free-version and Free Portable-version too. They have all need features founded in Adobe.

Another vote for SumatraPDF. Extremely fast, and has search, bookmarks & printing, which MuPDF does not. We’ve been using it for about a year now.

I am using PDF-Xchange Viewer now. It allows me to add comments and annotations to any PDF file.

At first glance, I would have adviced any simple software like CutePDF that will print your documents (word docs, html, et al) to a PDF file instead of the printer.

But I’m getting the sense that you’re looking for basically the Adobe Acrobat Pro. In which case, get the Pro or try using OpenOffice from openoffice.org with plug-ins.

SumatraPDF is another alternative open source viewer that is rock solid & blazingly fast. Used it here for a couple of years now.

I want a replacement total for my adobe acrobat. I want just not a simple reader but a piece of software that converts web pages, doc files in pdf format.
This kind of sofware is available?

Tuna MuPDF is portable, no startup services or background processes that slow down your system.

It’s been awhile since I looked, but Adobe PDF uses 100+(200?)MB of drive space and runs multiple services to keep it bloated and secure… to open a static pdf page.lol.

Foxit PDF installs in under 7MB and has no annoying start-up services that re-enable themselves every time it updates.

I’ll take MU PDF a spin and see how it compares in size and speed(to Foxit). I certainly hope it doesn’t run a service on start-up.

I’m going to have to start looking into these stripped down PDF readers. They may actually provide better security. They don’t run anything. Will have to see if they’re susceptible to the same holes a full blown Adobe Reader is.

The Worst PDF app ever, be aware not to try !!!

Only after one run, it takes over your default PDF reader,
and the PDF icon.

A shame for the developer that implement that !!
