Free Alternative for Adobe Acrobat Professional

November 28th, 2009 2 comments

OK so we need free alternative software which have these capability: read pdf, add comments, annotations, or stamps; split or merge pdf, add security, and print everything into pdf.

PDF-XChange Viewer + doPDF + PDFTK = Adobe Acrobat Professional

These are the software we need. It’s lightweight, freeware, and available in portable version.
