Good simple Windows PDF viewer/editor for tablet? (mander.xyz)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I have a Surface Pro 4, and I'm looking for a simple PDF viewer that works well in tablet mode. I used to use Edge, but after they switched to chromium it lost a few key features for me (pen input automatically being a pen instead of scroll, pen eraser working, full screen page swipe rather than scroll, etc). Everything else I've found is either way overpowered and cluttered, or doesn't work well with tablet mode and pen input. Any suggestions?

Can you tell us what you've tried already?

I have used FoxIt for a long time but might be considered "overpowered" and not sure how it does in tablet mode

For me, Edge, Firefox, Chrome are in the missing features category, and Drawboard PDF is in the overkill category.

Xodo is pretty close to what I want, but keeps spamming me with subscription nonsense. I'll give Foxit a try.

I gave it another shot last night, and I think it's actually fine. The only thing I wish it could do is erase a whole inked line at a time rather than erasing only what ink my eraser is over. Not sure if that makes sense.
