Seeing as the PDF file type is now an industry standard for document sharing, it only makes sense that there are as many PDF reader applications as there are machines and document types.įoxit PDF Reader is one of the software that emerged as Adobe Acrobat alternatives. This means that Adobe products like Adobe Reader DC are no longer your only option.

Whereas Adobe Acrobat was for a long time the only PDF reader software that allowed you to read and edit these digital files, a wide variety of platforms for PDF have been developed since then. In 2007, Adobe gave PDF over to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and today there are even possibilities for viewing 3D files using PDF. But, you need a PDF renderer to handle this file format on your computer and printer. Also if it can embed the bookmarks and highlights and notes into the pdf itself, so that when I transfer it to my other devices these bookmarks and annotations remain.So, we know PDFs are amazing tools for sharing information, such as documents and other visual files where detail and accuracy are extremely important. I am looking for a alternative PDF Reader that can at least handle bookmarks in a normal fashion. All the bookmarks from every single PDF appear together in the Bookmarks menu (regardless of which PDF is open) and I have to manually make bookmark folders for grouping the bookmarks by PDF's which is tedious and also simple drag and drop doesn't work somehow (turns all the bookmarks into the same bookmark).

The problem with Mac Preview is that it doesn't allow to rename the bookmarks and by default all the bookmarks have the same name, so I can't tell which bookmark corresponds to which chapter.Īs a alternative to Preview I started using Skim, which is very nice and covers all the features I want but Skim handles bookmarks weirdly. As a workaround I bookmark the page where a chapter starts, and use the list of bookmarks as a sort of index. So there is no table of contents for jumping directly to the chapters. I have a couple of PDFs that are composed of scanned images of books.
