About

Sumatra PDF is a free PDF, eBook (ePub, Mobi), XPS, DjVu, CHM, Comic Book (CBZ and CBR) reader for Windows. Sumatra PDF is powerful, small, portable and starts up very fast. Simplicity of the user interface has a high priority. PDF readers have, over the years, managed to earn themselves something of a reputation for being slow, lumbering beasts - thanks largely to Adobe Reader. Sumatra PDF bucks the trend. It is small, svelte, lightweight and lightning fast.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Folks at adobe should learn coding from these guys. I gave up on Adobe Reader as: 1. Its scrolling speed was less than satisfactory at zoom level other than 100%, for long pdf files, for graphic heavy pdf files with images and/or mathematical notations. 2. It would always reduce document window space in by incorporating various toolbars to the right/bottom at opening time. 3. It would also not remember last opened page view by default. 4. Shameless popups of adobe paid services and digital signature warnings. Sumatra PDF does not have any of these problems.
  • Free and open source. Minimal User Interface - Easy to use. Supports pdf, epub, mobi and other formats. Low memory usage and quick to load files. Portable software.

Cons

  • Advanced settings opens a notepad file, containing sensitive settings, that, if edited incorrectly, may break the program. Would be better to make it a GUI based menu.
  • Doesn't support editing. The design is outdated (No annotations as well).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • doPDF has been my go-to print-to-pdf software for many years until my Windows 7 computer finally died in October 2021. Over the years, I tested several other similar products with less than stellar results. No matter what I created in MS Office, Open Office, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, etc., doPDF faithfully reproduced the original file in pdf format. When I shared files with others, I never had any complaints about how the doPDF file rendered in whatever pdf reader the recipient was using. No matter how off-the-wall the fonts I embedded, fine screens, graduations, backgrounds, vector graphics, custom colors - all rendered exactly as the various programs with which they were created with zero issues. I did side-by-side printout comparisons of the original files versus the pdfs created by doPDF and was very pleased with the results.

Cons

  • There was nothing I did not like about doPDF. It did exactly what it was supposed to do - print to pdf. It's an elegant, streamlined software that consistently exceeded my expectations.
