MuPDF

MuPDF is a super handy tool for viewing PDF files without needing Acrobat Reader. It’s lightweight and so simple that even if you’re not tech-savvy, you can use it with ease.

Portable and Easy to Use

This app is portable, which means you don’t have to install MuPDF on every computer. You can keep it on a USB flash drive or any removable device, pop it into any computer, and just run the executable file directly.

Your PDF Companion Anywhere

You’ll always have MuPDF with you when you're out and about! Plus, it doesn’t mess with your Windows Registry or leave behind extra files after you uninstall it. How cool is that?

User-Friendly Interface

When you start the program, a file browser will pop up, letting you find and open any PDF file easily. The interface is minimalistic—just a standard window without tons of visible options to confuse you.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Quick Navigation

If you're willing to explore a bit, MuPDF has some keyboard shortcuts that can make your life easier. Use the dot (.), comma (,), 'Page Up', 'Page Down', or the left/right arrow keys to flip through pages quickly.

Search Functionality

Need to find something in your PDF? Just hit 'F1' or the question mark key on your keyboard to access the search function! But remember, it only highlights the first result it finds.

Zooming and Full Screen Options

You can zoom in and out using the '+' and '-' keys on your keyboard or numeric pad. Want full screen? Just press 'F'. You can also rotate pages by 15 degrees using 'A' (left) and 'S' (right) keys. If you're feeling creative, apply negative or greyscale effects with 'I' and 'C'.

Light on Resources

The best part? MuPDF runs smoothly without hogging system resources. It responds well without freezing or crashing. Sure, there are some limits like the search function not being super detailed and no help documentation for hotkeys, but overall, it's an easy solution for viewing PDFs!
