Sumatra PDF 0.6 released

Alexander Turcic · 04-30-2007, 06:44 PM

Need a way to read PDFs without installing the bloated Adobe Reader on your Windows machine? Try Sumatra PDF. It's small, fast, clean and free. Changelog of version 0.6:

enable opening password-protected PDFs
don't allow printing in PDFs that have printing forbidden
don't automatically reopen files at startup
new, better icon
reload the document when changing rendering engine
improve cursor shown when dragging
fix toolbar appearance on XP and Vista with classic theme
when MuPDF engine cannot load a file or render a page, we fallback to poppler engine to make rendering more robust
fixed a few crashes

Alternative: Foxit PDF Reader

Is Sumatra available for PDAs like Palm Pilot? That's where I find Adobe is cumbersome and slow, taking up a lot of precious memory. I don't have it on my Palm, even if I have an SD card. It's just too slow.

Alas, it's Windows-only right now. But sources are available, so some smart kid could always come up with a port...
