Best free PDF reader for Windows 7 64-bit?


Technology


Does anyone have suggestions as to the best free PDF reader for Windows 7 64-bit?

I'm looking for one that is especially good with Paizo's PDFs (copying images without text, etc).

Thanks for any responses!


With your caveat of being able to copy images without text, and being Windows based...

I would have to say the best for you would be Adobe Reader 8.2. You will want to select Windows Vista as your OS.

If you just wanted a really good reader, and weren't concerned with image extraction, I would have pointed you to Foxit Reader 4. It can take "snapshots" of a selected area of the PDF, but you get the text, and everything else, with it.


Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I can do the snapshot thingy already with Adobe Reader 9.

I was considering Reader 8.2 (and indeed selecting Vista as my OS), but I didn't know if there was a better product or if 8.2 would gank my Win7 computer in any way, since Adobe hates 64-bit anything... (ugh, Adobe!)

I've been using the current version of Reader on my Windows 7 64-bit system since 7 was released with no problems or complications at all.

I am using 8.2 on my windows 7 64 bit with no problem, I would suggest it for Image extraction.

I still don't understand why they took that capability out of 9. I refuse to upgrade due to that.

Except Foxit doesn't support the image extraction that Arnwyn was looking for, at least in the free version.
