Hi John,
No problem, glad I could explain.
Should you ever release a Free Software PDF-Viewer, we will be happy to recommend it with the others!

Hi Hannes,
Thank you for your patience - I have read the link supplied and you are of course correct as we do not allow access to our source code etc.
My apologies for taking up your time - I do appreciate your doing so.
Many thanks for your help and may I wish you a very happy new year !!!

Hi John,
I understand your interest, but please read http://www.pdfreaders.org and especially the definition of Free Software it refers to: http://fsfeurope.org/documents/freesoftware.en.html
This definition is different from "Freeware" or "Shareware", because it is about freedom not price. The reason we don't link to Adobe is not because we
don't like Adobe (who also offer a PDF-Viewer free-of-charge), but because their PDF-Reader is proprietary software that does not respect your freedom.
If I falsely perceived your software as being proprietary and it actually does offer all of the four freedoms (to use, study, share and improve) I sincerely apologize and will add your software asap.
With kind Regards and New Years Greetings, Hannes Hauswedell

Hi Hannes,
Thanks for your email - just to clarify.
We offer 2 versions of the viewer - the free version offers many advanced features that Adobe's acrobat does not, as well as the ability to view PDF's etc as you expect - here are just **some** of the free features available to all - that are perpetually free.
1: Ability to Mark-up/comment/annotate/type on any PDF that is not
password
protected (allowed if user has password) 2: Fill and save forms to disk as well as print etc 3: Export PDF to any of the Raster Image formats supported 4: add stamps/images to the stamp library and stamp any PDF 5: Tabbed multi document display 6: Highlight/Crossout/Underline text 7: Measuring tools
Etc.
Further all support and assistance is 100% free of charge and we are very active and pleased to assist all users of all versions - whether paid for or not !
There are features that are reserved for the 'PRO' or paid for version
such
as the ability to add/modify bookmarks, extract/append/delete pages etc - however I do hope you will agree that this doers not in itself mean that the free version is not very well featured and offers a good deal more
that
Adobe's and indeed others made available.
We offer a portable version that is just 4.9mb in download size - or the full download which is a little under 20 MB - as this is a full windows installer including shell extensions (some 4MB) to allow PDF previewing in Windows explorer/outlook etc and a PDF manual that also accounts for some 6MB of the download.
Hope that helps in your decision
If I can assist further - please do come back.

Hello,
I just looked at the page you refer to and I don't think that your
software
meets the criteria for being listed on our page: being "free as in freedom",
not only "free as in free beer". This distinction is very important to us.
If I misinterpreted your homepage and your PDF-Viewer does indeed offer
the
four freedoms described / referred to on pdfreaders.org, it will of course be added.
With kind Regards, Hannes Hauswedell

Hi,
We would be most grateful if you could add our PDF-XChange Viewer to
your
list of Free PDF Readers.
You can try freely from this link :
