[LF] A good pdf viewer
« on: February 28, 2015, 07:48:21 AM »
I used quite a few pdf applications, but never have i stumbled upon one i would actually like. I use it for my uni to take notes for 'slides' of every lecture. The way i do it now is i use "Make note" tool.

What i am actually looking for is a pdf viewer which would have a blank page next to every page of a pdf file. Even if it was some simple excrement like notepad. To explain it better: I would like to have screen separated into 2 parts while viewing a pdf file. In a way that i could see the 'real' page of pdf file on one side, while on the other there would be a text page containing my notes for given 'real' pdf page.

Anyone ever saw some app like this?

PS:I know i could just use single text file and add notes like --pg.1, --pg.2 etc, but that might get confusing and i would need to look at the page number everytime. Also using word document and making ALT+ENTER for every page doesn't really work, because then i would need to have 2 apps open and when i would want to switch page i would need to alt+tab twice. Even if i used win 8 option to split my screen into 2, I would still rather use an app which would work the way i described.

Wow, no f ing way, it actually does what i wanted ^^.

I guess the only downside is that its kind of complicated, took me few minutes to figure out why is my pdf rotated weirdly, but once you figure it out it looks like it's gonna be really useful.

Thanks man!

I don't know if it does what you want, but I've been using Foxit Reader.
