Slim PDF Reader

Open and view PDF documents – that is, in a nutshell, the functionality you can expect to get from this tool. Since the application is called Slim PDF Reader, did you expect something else? There is a lot to like about Investintech’s Slim PDF Reader: it is incredibly lightweight, it has a simple interface, it is very easy to use, it works with any PDF document, it is offered for the great price of free.

Adobe Reader is undoubtedly the best-known free PDF reader out there. So why would you get Slim PDF Reader instead of Adobe Reader? The answer is size: Slim PDF Reader is considerably smaller than Adobe Reader; while the Slim PDF Reader installer is about 1.5MB in size, the Adobe Reader installer is well over 70MB (and unless you opt out, you will also install McAfee Security Scan Plus alongside Adobe Reader).

The interface is just what you would expect from an application of this type: load a PDF document and it will be displayed front and center on the interface; above this main panel there’s a File Menu and a toolbar with buttons for various features and functions. So overall, Slim PDF Reader has a familiar interface, one that you will immediately feel at home with.

Getting back to the size difference between Slim PDF Reader and Adobe Reader, does this mean that Adobe Reader will work with all PDF documents and Slim PDF Reader won’t? Well no, not at all! Even though it is quite lightweight, Slim PDF Reader works with any PDF document you give it. Or to put it in other words, you can use Slim PDF Reader to open and view any PDF document you want.

Slim PDF Reader and Adobe Reader are both free.

Slim PDF Reader is lightweight, is has a simple interface, it can be used to view any PDF document, and it is free!
