If your PC has lots of memory it can be used to cache pages and make the viewer display pages faster. The viewer should release memory if other applications request. Scrolling and zooming large documents the action is smooth and almost instantaneous. In Foxit Reader there is a noticeable jerkiness. PDF-XChange now uses less memory on a huge document than earlier versions. By default, PDF-XChange will use a maximum of 25% of available memory. Users can change this in Preferences, Performance to between 10% and 75%. If you want to use other applications and wish to keep PDF-XChange open, you can minimise it. Memory use will drop below 2 Mbytes. You can customize User Interface Appearance yourself - you can change colour, fonts or main background according to your style and mood. You can close even a single opened tab without closing the Viewer itself. I love PDF-XChange much more others. Today PDF-XChange doesn’t use much more RAM.

That is the best free (really free) application that allows someone to insert notes while reading a PDF file. Congratulations to the Tracker Software corporation for this development! Really wonderful! I will recommend it to my friends. Keep up the good work!

Start: The three programs started quickly--it didn't take more time for Adobe Reader 9 to start (AcroRd32.exe wasn't in RAM). Font quality: Adobe Reader and Foxit ("... optimized for LCD screen" checked) were better than PDF-XChange. Speed: Adobe Reader and Foxit displayed the pictures instantly. PDF-XChange seemed to struggle to display the same pictures (it took a couple of seconds). RAM: Foxit was the best; Adobe Reader and PDF-XChange used more RAM. Footprint on disk: - Adobe Reader: Bloatware; - PDF-Change: Fatty; - Foxit: lean. My version of Foxit is an old one and it doesn't always display pdf files correctly. PDF-XChange is inferior to both Foxit and Acrobat Reader when it comes to viewing files. I used the same pdf file (31 MB) to compare Adobe Reader 9, Foxit 1.3, and PDF-XChange 2.0.
