How to present a PDF like a PowerPoint or convert a PDF to PPT

July 26, 2022
Karolin Koestler, Senior Marketing Manager EMEA

Sometimes, you may need to use content from a PDF file in another program such as Microsoft PowerPoint AKA convert PDF to PPT. Yet, copying and pasting can cause formatting problems. It can be difficult to clean up, so you might be tempted just to retype it to save time.

Fortunately, there are two easy ways that you can essentially present a PDF like it’s a PowerPoint presentation. One is to open your PDF in full screen. The other is to convert the PDF file into a PowerPoint presentation. Both are simple to achieve. Here’s how:

Present a PDF in full-screen mode as if it were a PowerPoint presentation.

Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader allow you to open your PDF documents.
Click on “View” to choose “Enter Full Screen” (or “ Slideshow ”).
Navigate using the arrow keys while presenting.
Once you are done, press the escape key and exit full-screen mode.

Converting PDF to PPT using Foxit

Foxit PDF Editor allows you to convert PDF files into Microsoft PowerPoint. This is a great way to make use of all the features that PPT files have to offer for presentations such as:

Use transitions

PowerPoint allows for smooth, customizable transitions between slides. They add motion and visual flair to your presentations. Speakers can also use transitions to express their creativity and create a transition that matches their presentation’s theme. Transitions allow content on-screen to appear at different times. This creates depth and layers.

Make easy use of video

A PowerPoint presentation can be enhanced with a video just like an image. You can use video in many different ways. If done correctly, it can be very powerful and engaging. PowerPoint allows the presentation to play a video clip and also allows for looping video backgrounds that are engaging and slick.

Give presenters familiar control

You can give your user more control over how you present by running your presentation deck in the same software it was created. PowerPoint files can be saved to ‘show mode’ so that they open on slide 1, in full screen. To create a non-linear presentation where the speaker can move from one section to another, you can use features such as ‘ zoom ‘.

Here’s how to convert your PDF file to a PowerPoint presentation:

Click CONVERT or select FILE > Export.
Choose the PPT format.
In the Save As dialog box, select which page(s), as well as whether the document contains images or pure text.

This is all there is to it. Foxit gives you a lot more flexibility when it comes to changing or reusing PDF files in presentations.

How to Present a PDF like a PowerPoint

With Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can present a regular PDF in similar fashion to a PowerPoint presentation.

Format presentation

Under the "Edit" tab, click "Preferences".
Under the "Full Screen Navigation" Section, you can loop the presentation by checking the "Loop after last page" option.
You can also set the "speed" of the presentation with the "Advance every [ ] seconds" option.
It is recommended to leave the "Escape key exits" option checked in order to quit the presentation early.

Present PDF

Under the "View" tab, click "Full Screen Mode". This will start the presentation.
In order to end the presentation before it's finished, press Esc

View PDF files in Firefox or choose another viewer

Firefox includes a built-in PDF viewer to display PDF files inside the browser window. This article explains how to use the built-in PDF viewer, how to fix the common issues you might encounter, and how to use another PDF viewer.

1.2 PDF Viewer toolbar functions
1.3 Annotate PDF files
1.4.1 Add a highlight
1.4.2 Show/hide all highlights
1.4.3 Edit or delete a highlight

3.2 Set Firefox to ask you what to do with PDF files
4 Troubleshoot problems with the PDF viewer

Use Firefox’s built-in PDF Viewer

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer allows you to view almost all PDF files found on the web without an external application (exceptions to this are PDF files with a MIME type incorrectly set). The built-in viewer is used when Portable Document Format (PDF) files are set to Open in Firefox in your Firefox settings for different types of files . This is the default setting. When you click a link to a PDF file or open it from the Firefox Downloads panel , it will be rendered with the built-in PDF viewer. (To learn more about the built-in viewer, see below.)

The built-in PDF viewer will open the PDF file in Firefox without saving it.

Fill out forms in PDF Viewer

Some PDF files have interactive fields to fill in data (such as on forms). Using Firefox's built-in PDF viewer, you can fill out fields such as text, check boxes and radio buttons. After entering data into these fields, you can download the file to have the filled-out version saved to your computer.

PDF Viewer toolbar functions

Annotate pdf files.

Annotating a PDF allows you to add notes, highlights, and other markings directly on the document. This is especially useful for making corrections, highlighting important information, or adding personal notes for future reference.

Highlight in PDF files

Add a highlight, show/hide all highlights, edit or delete a highlight, add an image to pdf files.

In many PDF-related tasks, incorporating images can provide supplementary information to your content.

Inserting an image:

Click + Add image . This will prompt the file selection window.
Browse and select the desired image file to add it to the PDF.

Repositioning and resizing the image:

Drag and drop the image to your preferred location within the PDF.
To adjust the image size, click and drag its borders until it fits your desired dimensions.

Adding Alt Text for accessibility:

After adding the image, click + Alt text .
Write a concise description of the image for screen readers, or
Mark the image as decorative if it's for aesthetic purposes only.

Use a different PDF viewer for downloaded PDF files

When Firefox is set as the default PDF viewer, and you download a PDF file in Firefox and save it to your computer, you can use a different application to view those PDF files by following these steps:

Click the context menu item for the system default PDF viewer (for example, click Open in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC ) (for example, click Open in Preview ) to open the PDF file in that application.

Choose another PDF viewer to use by default or set Firefox to always ask

Disable the built-in pdf viewer and use another viewer.

Note: If Firefox is not your current default PDF viewer, you will be prompted to set it as the default when opening a PDF file in Firefox.

You can also set a different third-party PDF viewer to handle PDF files, instead of Firefox’s built-in PDF viewer. To switch from using the built-in PDF viewer to another viewer:

In the General panel, go down to the Applications section.
Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click the entry to select it.

Set Firefox to ask you what to do with PDF files

If you want Firefox to always ask you what to do with PDF files, follow the above steps to change the action for the Portable Document Format (PDF) entry, except select Always ask from the drop-down menu. The next time you click a link to download a PDF file, Firefox will show you a prompt asking what to do with the file. You can then choose to open it with Firefox's built-in PDF viewer, open it with a different PDF application, or you can choose to save the file.

For more information, see Manage file types and download actions in Firefox .

Troubleshoot problems with the PDF viewer

With certain types of PDF files, the PDF Viewer may have problems displaying fonts, colors, or the whole document. If some PDF files don't render well or are blank, click the download button on the right side of the document header to open it with the default PDF viewer application on your computer.
If you can't open any PDF files with the built-in PDF viewer, a Firefox extension could be the cause. You can disable all of your extensions, to see if one of them was the problem. For details, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems .

Is there a specialized Pdf viewer for Latex-Beamer presentations on Linux?

Most of the time when presenting a talk people connect their laptop to a video projector . So they effectively have an extra screen at their disposal. Because of that many Software options for presentations use the extra screen of the laptop to display notes, time left for the talk, a preview of the next slide and such information to the presenter.

I'm using LaTeX-Beamer which outputs a pdf. I'd like to have notes, a preview of the next slide and the time I have left for my talk displayed to me on the laptop screen, while the projector shows the regular presentation slides.

Ideally this program should work under Linux (Ubuntu 12.04). Does such a program exist?

5 Interesting question: it seems that for Okular, this is a feature request that has been accepted: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152585 I guess it is worth monitoring that. – mSSM Commented Nov 28, 2012 at 11:40
2 Did you check Section 22 of the Beamer User Guide ("Taking Advantage of Multiple Screens")? I haven't tried it, but it seems to address exactly your request. – vaettchen Commented Nov 28, 2012 at 11:42
1 IIRC the beamer manual explains how to set up for dual screen presentations. In my documentation it's explained in Section 19.3. Also see this PracTeX journal article . – user10274 Commented Nov 28, 2012 at 11:43
2 Okay I found the package pdf-presenter-console which is worth a look. It has the timer thingy and a preview of the next slide. It does not display notes. – con-f-use Commented Nov 28, 2012 at 11:47
4 Maybe impressive is an option. It has a timer and an overview page, but it doesn't support an extra screen for notes. – maetra Commented Nov 28, 2012 at 13:26

So pdfpc on github (which is a forked and improved version of the pdf-presenter-console ) is the closest thing I found.

It has all the features I looked for. Regular slides on the projector, view of the next slide and the current one on the laptop. It pre-caches the slides for fast switch and can provide an overview with thumbnails for each slide (quick selection). It also plays videos . With the n one can edit notes that are stored in a text file in the same directory as the PDF, or it can show beamer slides on the side screen.

To use, one has to invoke pdfpc with a PDF file like this in terminal:

Of course one can add it to the list of applications to open PDF's with in your file-manager to make it easier. There are command line options to interchange screens, set the timer, and have it count down instead of up.

The rest is straight forward and documented in the man pages. Ubuntu man-pages are outdated, so one should consult the man pages on the site . I made a request for importing LaTeX-Beamer notes.

The latest version (4.0 and up) supports LaTeX-Beamer notes. Just use --notes={left,right,top,bottom} to match the setting in your "beamer" document:

With the above, you would use --notes=right .

Installation / Compilation

For Windows PCs it might be a pain in the rear to compile, since the requirements state:

Vala Compiler Version >=0.11.0 Gnu compiler collection CMake Version >=2.6 Gtk+ 2.x libPoppler with glib bindings

Which is a handful to install and get running. For Ubuntu, other Debian distros and Arch, it's a piece of cake as there are packages in the repositories.

7 In fact pdfpc is a fork of pdf-presenter-console with more possibilities, not just a new version. – Carsten Thiel Commented Nov 29, 2012 at 10:43
1 Unfortunately, advanced pdf-features such as ogc or fancytooltips are not supported by pdfpc, even though its pdf-engine supports javascript which is used by fancytooltips. – maetra Commented Dec 5, 2012 at 9:41
1 This looks interesting, but I have serious problems with dependencies, probably due to naming discrepancies among different linux distributions. It would be nice to have it packaged on launchpad. – qed Commented Aug 27, 2013 at 12:56
7 @qed: It is packaged as pdf-presenter-console in the default Debian/Ubuntu archives. The package name is misleading, but this really installs David Vilar's fork (version 3.x), at least on the more recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu. – krlmlr Commented Oct 2, 2013 at 13:18
2 Also, it is Zoom-friendly!! You can have the two separate windows (audience and presenter) any size, ie without the audience view being fullscreen. This is vital for the post-COVID19 world, since you can share the audience window (by screenshare with Zoom or etc) at reasonable size. Just start the program with the "-w" (windowed) flag to avoid fullscreening. – CPBL Commented Jun 2, 2020 at 0:01

Browsing around this morning, I came across pympress .

It is cross-platform as it is written in python, and has the presenter look & feel you're looking for, with a window to show slides on screen and another for your laptop with time, slide numbers, next slide preview, annotations, etc.

A few other nice features are native support for beamer notes on second screen, embedded videos, and more.

1 Hey Thomas, thank you. Wow pdfpc and pympress are really similar. I still favour pdfpc as it can handle notes and pre-caches the slides for smooth transition. – con-f-use Commented Nov 29, 2012 at 10:55
2 @con-f-use I want to mention that pympress supports all that as well (though it probably didn't when you wrote the comment 4 years ago). – Cimbali Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 15:13
2 Also, the windows installation of pympress is pain-free if you use the .msi installer. It works out of the box. For example for version 1.5.1 on Windows 10 HP pavilion github.com/Cimbali/pympress/releases/tag/v1.5.2 – Tejas Shetty Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 6:29
4 Also, it is Zoom-friendly!! You can have the two separate windows (audience and presenter) any size, ie without the audience view being fullscreen. This is vital for the post-COVID19 world, since you can share the audience window (by screenshare with Zoom or etc) at reasonable size. – CPBL Commented Jun 1, 2020 at 23:52
Easy to install (msi) and use in Windows and works amazingly! Glad I found and tried this after searching for a long time. – fishlein Commented Jan 4, 2022 at 21:28

In case you're still interested, I have written a small viewing application in C++, called "dspdfviewer" for "Dual-Screen PDF Viewer".

Its built specifically for latex-beamer, and it's "show notes on second screen" option. This latex-beamer option will give you a double-width PDF, where the right part are your beamer-notes, and the right part can include a small preview of the current/next page. Check out the beamerguide for details. Only, I did not find a viewing application to correctly display those kinds of PDFs.

My program splits the PDF file in half and renders the left half in fullscreen on the "primary" screen (intended for the audience) and the second half together with some timers on the "secondary" screen (your notebook for example).

It currently works with Debian wheezy, and Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) and newer.

You can download it for Ubuntu on the ppa https://launchpad.net/~dannyedel/+archive/dspdfviewer

The sourcecode is available at https://github.com/dannyedel/dspdfviewer , and the documentation is available as man page (included in the deb packages as "man dspdfviewer").

I will give it a try as soon as I have to give my next talk. Thanks alot. Boy solutions may be hard to find but they are good an numerous. – con-f-use Commented Nov 29, 2012 at 16:29
Can it play embedded javascript movies? – daaxix Commented Nov 3, 2015 at 4:05
1 It is not able to play external media files whose links are embedded in some frame. Impressive work though. – Diaa Commented Jul 23, 2016 at 15:50
A simple and efficient tool. Also works on OSX, available through brew . – Jean-Baptiste Yunès Commented Sep 14, 2016 at 14:35
1 All of these use fullscreen mode. I am looking for one where presentation and notes are shown in two separate windows . The reason is that I would like to present over video conferencing software and share presenter window only while keeping notes on my screen. – krokodil Commented Dec 9, 2018 at 1:43

I tested only a few minutes, but it is worth to take a look to

Impressive - Is a presentation program that displays slideshows of image files (JPEG, PNG, TIFF and BMP) or PDF documents . Rendering is done via OpenGL, which allows for some "eye candy" effects.

Installation is simply apt-get install impressive in Debian based distributions. Complete features are better explained in impressive -h , man impressive and impressive /usr/share/doc/impressive/demo.pdf but off the top of my head there are options for automatically advance, show timer an progress bar, control display aspect ratio, background rendering (by default active), cache modes, rotating, scaling and shuffling pages, use a custom cursor, make transitions, etc.

I have found mostly interesting the possibility of highlight boxes with the mouse during the presentation and even save and restore this for a second session as well as the spot light mode (a highlight circle around the mouse) and the overview mode (with Tab to quickly select a thumbnail with the mouse) , but you can also include options to include sound and videos, adjust gamma and black level with options or sort keys, mark pages with the skip flag, etc.

2 There are even scripts to generate the .info files from beamer documents. – Martin Schröder Commented Feb 4, 2013 at 9:55
1 Remember: To show the slides properly impressive assumes that both screens have the same resolution! Otherwise the depiction is corrupted. – user1146332 Commented Jun 25, 2014 at 7:40
2 There are definitely some cool effects in Impressive, but unfortunately there is not a true presenter console or notes option and no plans to implement these features . The presenter console and notes features from pdfpc and the rendering from Impressive would be a fantastic combo! – joelostblom Commented May 22, 2016 at 15:25
Any particular reason for the negative vote? – Fran Commented May 11, 2018 at 14:36
This is not what the OP is looking for. > "Q:Is there any kind of »presenter screen« in Impressive? No, and there is currently no proper way (or plans) to implement such a thing. This is due to limitations in PyGame and Impressive's code structure, both of which are hard to overcome." impressive.sourceforge.net/faq.php – antonio Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 17:16

I made a web-based viewer which simply opens the slides and the notes on separate windows, keeping them in sync. The windows can be moved freely and expanded ( F11 ) on another monitor like any window.

It accepts double-width LaTeX-Beamer PDFs which can be generated using \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right} .

The application works in a web browser and doesn't require any installation. The PDF is rendered locally and the app can work offline (kept in the browser's cache). It has been tested with recent versions of Firefox (61) and Chrome (67).

It is available at https://beamerviewer.euxane.net/ . A demo can also be found here .

The source code is available on this git repository .

Great work! Just a small PDF.js viewer + keybindings. Finally a portable and lightweight solution for this task. – ojdo Commented Jul 24, 2020 at 13:39

As of September 2017 under opensuse, Leap 42.3, I googled again for a PDF viewer which allows to use the second screen option of beamer.

MuPDF doesn't support a second screen with notes at all. dspdfviewer wasn't available as a package for opensuse, so I didn't try. pdfpc worked out of the box, but you can't play embedded content, e.g. a video from it, if the video was linked with this command (given in the beamer manual, but see the comment of giordano below):

Finally I came across pympress, which turned out to be under active development. I installed it as root from command line:

pympress started my video and I'll invest some more time testing it.

With pdfpc I can run a video embedded with \href{run:./video.mp4}{\includegraphics[width=0.6\columnwidth]{thumbnail}} – giordano Commented Sep 13, 2017 at 16:28
For the record, I just tried using \movie in pdfpc and it works for me (this shouldn't even be a surprise since \movie internally uses the command I wrote in my previous comment). Just discovered that it works also in Okular. – giordano Commented Sep 13, 2017 at 21:05
1 Good to know pympress can handle multimedia. Thanks! – Luke Davis Commented Mar 2, 2018 at 17:34

There is also slider which is designed to be lightweight and specialised. It is designed to allow the use of notes on a second screen etc. Since it is relatively new, it may be worth watching even if a feature you need isn't yet currently implemented. (It has changed quite a lot since I started playing with it.)

My favorite pdf reader is Mupdf : (1) Firstly, the rendering of the popler-engine used in most pdf-viewers is horribly and mupdf's rendering is far superior (2) it's the reference pdf-viewer from ghostscript project

(3) Is quite easy to use it just with a keyboard (what makes the mupdf-pdf-viewer (and onmupdf based reader)) great for presentations

4 But the question is: does it support the second screen option of beamer? – Keks Dose Commented Sep 13, 2017 at 15:21

Updated answer I wrote a tool called BeamerPresenter , which shows presentation and notes for the speaker in separate windows. The modular interface can be adjusted to very different situations. Presentation and notes can be provided as separate pdf files or with the LaTeX beamer option “show notes on second screen”. Rich text notes created directly in the program are another option.

This program supports drawing (optimized for tablet input and compatibility with Xournal++), different highlighting tools, multimedia content, slide transitions, and quick response thanks to a compressed cache of rendered slides. The PDF files are rendered with MuPDF or Poppler.

Old answer (referring to an old version of BemerPresenter) I wrote a tool called BeamerPresenter (based on Qt 5 and poppler), which shows presentation and notes for the speaker in two separate windows. Presentation and notes can be provided as two separate pdf files or as a single file with the LaTeX beamer option “show notes on second screen”.

It supports multimedia content, animations (by showing slides in rapid succession), slide transitions, special treatment of overlays and prerendering of slides to cache. For the speaker it offers navigation by scrolling, key bindings (aware of overlays), a table of contents and an overview of the slides.

BeamerPresenter is super nice! Thank you! – Rasmus Commented Aug 31, 2022 at 15:16

I used okular.

Open the pdf presentation and use "presentation mode" as View >> Presentation. You are good to go. With this I can play my mp4 and other animations as well.

I found the 'PDF Presenter Console' in the Ubuntu Software Center, works well for me with showing next slide and time!

2 Isn't this the discontinued precursor of pdfpc , which has already been introduced in the accepted answer? – AlexG Commented Apr 20, 2021 at 19:04
@AlexG that is possible, I am not certain – Leanora Commented Apr 22, 2021 at 7:13

Pdf-presenter.

I work in research, and once in a while I need to give a talk or lecture. Normally I would use Apple's Keynote to show the presentation, but right now I have a Vista-based notebook. So my idea was to simply export the slides to a PDF using my Mac at home or create some slides with Beamer or Google Docs, and then show the presentation using my laptop and some ordinary PDF viewer.

After I tried that for the first time I instantly noticed something very useful is missing: The ability to have one screen that displays the content of the current slide, while the other one - the so called presenter screen - will show the presenter more content, e.g. notes, the next slide and a timer. Since I haven't found one Windows PDF viewer among the billions out there that supports this, PDF Presenter is here to fill this gap.

This is an import from the original, discontinued [Google Code project] ( https://code.google.com/archive/p/pdf-presenter/ ) .

The following features should preferably be supported in the long run:

configurable presenter screen
loading notes directly from the PDF
transition effects via OpenGL
multi-platform support (wxWidgets)
small enough to fit with slides on a USB stick
if possible, scripted video support outside of PDF files

How to Filter Out Content You Don't Want to See on Reddit

Will manual photo editing become obsolete as ai advances here's why i think it won't, today's nyt connections hints and solution (friday, june 21, 2024).

PDF files are the standard format when sharing documents, and it's easy to see why. They open on all operating systems, they can be password-protected, copy-and-edit-restricted, and you can even prevent others from printing them out.

PDF files aren’t affected by viruses, so you can pretty much always open them with confidence. A PDF file opens almost instantly, you can easily embed videos, as well as pictures, sound files, and other media. Take that, Microsoft Word!

As with any other type of file, a PDF is only as good as your ability to share it with others. Here are our top picks for the best free PDF hosting out there.

PDF Hosting for Beginners: The Run-Down

Many websites are now able to host PDFs online. The PDF file remains open inside of a widget; you can scroll through it right in your browser. From Supreme Court rulings to America's favorite recipe for chocolate cake, you're likely to find all kinds of PDFs after a quick Google search.

"You're only as good as your last PDF", all caps, on a red field.

Other tools enable you to easily convert other files to the PDF format. For example, if you have a PowerPoint presentation, you can export it as a PDF to share. You might even end up with better-looking slides in the process.

Which PDF-hosting sites are the best? Which one should you be using? Read on to see some that you might already know and use, along with a few new ones, as well.

We'll start off with perhaps the most well-known way to host a PDF online. Scribd is now positioning itself as a monthly subscription service for eBooks and audiobooks—in fact, you can't even crack in without forfeiting your credit card information first.

Thankfully, you're still able to search Scribd's archives without paying. If you use the search function with a documents-only filter enabled, you'll see many PDFs hosted here. You can search within these documents, share them on social media, rate them, and even download them for yourself in some cases.

Scribd Features

Documents can be public or private.
You can upload multiple files at once.
You can upload revisions smoothly.
You can upload cloud-based files from Google Docs, Facebook, and Gmail, too.
You can set reader permissions and decide if your content can be copy and pasted from the site, if people can leave comments and reviews on your work, and even whether or not your PDF is available to download.
If your document is in another format, you can convert it to PDF.
You can embed a PDF file (Either yours or someone else's) on your website.
Scribd makes your content readable on iPhone, iPad, Android, and other mobile devices.

2. Google Drive

Downloading a file on Google Docs as a PDF.

Google Drive is absolutely fantastic , and one really cool feature is the ability to upload documents and then re-download them as a PDF file.

Google Drive can help you publish your PDF documents publicly, which can then be shared to a wider audience. You can also embed the file on your website; access can be revoked at any time.

Google Drive Features

Convert multiple formats into a PDF file.
Publish your documents to the public.
Revoke access at any time.
Embed a PDF file on your website or blog.
Edit the original file and see the published file updated automatically.
Control who can edit the PDF file.

Box is so underrated , probably due to its well-known rivals, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive. If you can find it in your heart to give Box a shot, however, you might be pleasantly surprised. One of these features is the ability to embed PDF files inside of a widget, just like these other options.

Box Features

Choose your own custom URL for the widget.
Customize the look of the widget's size and color.
Protect the shared link with a password .
Set a date for the link to expire.
Enable or disable download permission for your documents.

Beamium offers a drag-and-drop interface; uploading PDF files is quick and easy. It works as a great virtual alternative to PowerPoint. You upload your slides as a single PDF file and are then given a unique presentation code. You can send this URL to everyone that you would like to share your PDF presentations with.

Attendees then go to the Beamium site, enter the code, and see what you've uploaded in real-time as you present it. You shuffle from slide to slide from home, and your invited viewers watch right along, just like a real PDF presentation. You can even activate a small, digital laser pointer, college professor-style.

Beamium Features

Simple and appealing service.
Your files stay hosted on the Beamium site for 14 days if you register for an account.
Browser-based, cross-platform, and no software to download.
Presentations are displayed in full-screen.

5. Publitas

If you're looking for a stable way to monetize your publication, a Dutch company called Publitas aims to serve. It's a site that will host your PDF publications and allow customers to buy them through an online checkout system. You can also upload PDFs that are free to read and download as well.

There are different pricing tiers—a free plan, and four paid plans. The free plan is extremely generous, though, so you may never need to upgrade.

Publitas Features

Extremely intuitive to use.
Touch-optimized for mobile devices and tablets.
You can add links to other parts of the publication, as well as additional media.

6. F lipsnack

Flipsnack is a service that lets you create an online flip book out of your PDF. You can edit the pages of your file with an incredibly diverse suite of design tools as well.

If you need a template, you'll be covered here. Their interface gives you many layers to work with; designing an interactive e-com catalog, for example, is super easy. You can create clickable buttons, image pop-ups, and even conditional discounts.

Flipsnack Features

A Wix-like design studio lets you build each layout from scratch.
Pages can be rearranged and redesigned after being uploaded.
Easy-to-customize templates.
Built-in image editor.
Media integration—audio, video, hyperlinks, and even forms.

Slides is yet another site for creating slide presentations from uploaded PDF documents. Each page will become a slide. You can then add text, more images, tables, graphs, and other media.

Each file uploaded is public, unless you pay for the Pro plan. A small luxury, but, in some cases, well-worth the premium.

Slides Features

No need to download anything. Everything is done in-browser.
Optimized for mobile devices and tablets.
Slides can be embedded on the web.
You can download slides to view offline.
Presentations can be remote-controlled by a touch-enabled device.

In our digital world of remote offices and classrooms, the ability to share PDFs effectively is unquestionable. If you're working on a budget, any of the above will help you get your files where they need to go, totally free.

Solutions for presenting PDF slides with presenter notes on second display [closed]

I made a presentation using the latex beamer class with notes. Now I have a problem displaying notes only on my display while presenting the slides to the audience using a projector. Beamer notes produce very wide pdf pages, each half page should be presented on its own display. A single page looks somewhat like this:

Currently I use the smaller display of my notebook for notes and the larger display for the presentation in my test setting. The second screen is extending the desktop. The screen order doesn't really matter but both displays have a different resolution. I don't know what the actual resolution of the screen/projector will be for when presenting.

Here are some applications I've tried. I the got fullscreen/window issues as described above if not otherwise explained.

Adobe reader X
Foxit reader
PDF-XChange Viewer
single display fullscreen, task bar still visible
single display fullscreen
window mode: large resolution not supported by graphic card (only about 3/4 of both monitors)
most promising, if I extract all notes into text files
plain text notes, too small, would need zoom tool
no keyboard shortcuts, must click button
similiar to above one, notes in text files (?) couldn't compile on windows yet.
PDF presenter
somewhat promising; displays fullscreen on one screen while other screen is in window mode
notes are more a whiteboard feature, can't be hidden to audience
notes cant be saved

I also tried the default Ubuntu pdf viewer using virtual box. Unfortunately virtual full screen also shows only a single display.

Are there any solutions to display pdf slides in fullscreen on one display and notes about the current slide on another display?

6 Just a remark: If you used PowerPoint, then it already has this mode, called Presenter view . This is simpler than your current complex solution. – harrymc Commented Sep 27, 2011 at 13:12
1 How many features are required for making a presentation ? You might be underestimating PowerPoint. – harrymc Commented Sep 27, 2011 at 14:45
1 @harrymc Not that many features on second though, mainly it's having a progress-bar like overview of the presentation, basically like a table of contents on (almost) every slide that highlights the current section. Also source code syntax colouring (rtf copy&paste would work, but not when linking files I edit externally). Not really required, but portability with pdf is better than ppt.I also just like to type more and click less. – kapex Commented Sep 27, 2011 at 15:11
2 You might look at the free IguanaTex or the commercial TexPoint . – harrymc Commented Sep 27, 2011 at 15:51
5 You can use github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc as pdfpc presenation.pdf -n right to achieve what you described. – nijoakim Commented Apr 29, 2016 at 13:13

You can achieve this under Linux with a combination of xrandr and impressive.py .

First use xrandr to set the screens' resolutions, e.g.:

where LVDS would be your laptop's screen and CRT1 the projector. You can verify your device identifiers and available resolutions by just running xrandr .

Once you have the screens set up, run impressive.py with the -g flag signalling the complete workspace size, e.g.:

Source: Phillip Merensky's blog .

Merensky's blog also points to a more complex example of xrandr usage for multiple-projector presentations .

I found a nice little tool called VirtualScreenMaximizer , which does exactly that. Works like a charm!

Please read How do I recommend software for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. You should provide at least a link, some additional information about the software itself, and how it can be used to solve the problem in the question. – DavidPostill ♦ Commented Oct 27, 2016 at 20:34

The 11 Best Free PDF Readers for Windows & Mac

There are plenty of Adobe Acrobat Reader alternatives

Emporia State University
Payment Services

A PDF reader is any software that will open a PDF file , probably the most recognizable document format in the world. Your downloadable bank statements, the newsletters from school—they're probably all in PDF format.

More and more operating systems, smartphones, and other devices contain built-in abilities to show PDF files; even your web browser can probably handle it. Even so, a dedicated document reader often has a number of advantages over the built-in reader you may already have, like viewing options, better search, and annotations or other light editing.

Need to edit a PDF, and not just open it for reading? You can convert it to an MS Word format or load it directly in a PDF editor . If you want to make one, use a PDF creation tool .

Open source and lightweight.

Available in dozens of languages.

No anti-aliasing, so some fonts look wonky.

Primary menu options are tucked inside another menu.

I've used SumatraPDF for years. It's an easy-to-use free PDF reader for Windows. While it is easy and simple to work with, it's also open for heavy customization if you so choose.

Different types of viewing modes are available, like Single Page, Facing, Book View, and Presentation . The latter option is great for distraction-free reading.

There are tons of keyboard shortcuts you can use that make it easier to move around a PDF file, which you can refer to in the online documentation .

SumatraPDF can be downloaded in portable form or installed like a regular program.

PDFlite is another free PDF reader that's based on SumatraPDF. It looks extremely similar and works the same.

Supports XPS and CBZ files as well.

Easy to use.

Interface is a little too bare bones.

Zoom feature is less than perfect.

I like MuPDF because it isn't cluttered, is super lightweight, and runs on Windows and Android. If you just need to read the PDF, and do nothing else, I highly recommend this app.

Immediately after opening the program, you'll be prompted to choose a PDF before you even see the UI. Once you have, there are literally no options to be seen, but instead the full program window is dedicated to showing the PDF.

There are, however, some hidden menus. Select the top left program icon on the program's title window, then select About MuPDF to see all the supported shortcut keys that you can use to flip through pages, zoom in, and search for text.

The other way to use this program is with an initial menu. Open mupdf-gl.exe from the same download to use that version.

Adobe Acrobat Reader

Handy drag-and-drop feature makes it easy to combine PDFs.

Excellent integration with the Adobe Cloud system.

Accessibility checker identifies problems, but it doesn't tell you how to fix them.

The free version is very limited in its features.

Adobe, the creator of the PDF file format, has a free reader called Acrobat Reader.

Tons of features are included: Take snapshots of text and images, view the PDF in Read Mode for a more concise reading pane, and have the program read text out loud.

This program works with Windows, Mac, and Linux. The Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app is available for Android and iOS.

On the download page, you may be asked to install some McAfee products and other things that are unrelated to this PDF reader. You need to manually deselect these offers if you don't want them.

Tabbed browsing.

Slick, modern design.

Includes a 'focus mode'.

Lots of extra features.

Extra features are limited unless you pay.

Unlike the other PDF readers in this list, you can use AI with this one to summarize the document or ask questions about it. If you're a rush, this can be a really handy way to get what you need from a long document in just a few seconds.

There are limitations to the AI part, though. Nevertheless, this program includes lots of other features you might like to have in addition to its regular open-and-read functionality. For example, it lets you edit text, add form items, and convert small PDFs to other file formats.

This program runs on Windows and macOS.

Expert PDF Reader

Faster than other free options.

Intuitive interface.

Editing features are rather limited.

Tries to install other software during set up.

Expert PDF Reader is another option for Windows. You can view bookmarks and a list of pages found in the PDF in an easy-to-read index on the side of the viewing area. There are also advanced options like signing and adding text to the PDF.

Nuance PDF Reader

Adding videos and images to documents is a breeze.

Dictation features make it ideal for the visually impaired.

You can open only one PDF at a time.

A really valuable search function is included in Nuance PDF Reader, where the words you search for show up with a bit of context for easier understanding as to where the search terms are at in the text.

You can also highlight text, which I love to do when I'm using a PDF as a reference. I can see it being handy for studying, too.

Sorax Reader

Fast and lightweight.

Free from excess clutter.

Limited zooming options.

Doesn't come with help files.

Here, you'll find all the basic features of a PDF opener, like the ability to search through text, copy text out of the document, zoom, and change the viewing mode.

This program also lets you send the currently opened PDF to someone over email with the Email toolbar button.

Sorax is available for Windows.

Javelin PDF Reader

Mobile version lets you access and manage metadata.

Advanced encryption options.

Occasional clunky performance.

The installation process is unnecessarily complicated.

Javelin PDF Reader is ideal if you're after something minimal. It has no extra features like editing or converting that litters the program interface.

Everything is spotless and easy to read and understand. The search feature isn't the best to be had, but it works well as is.

It can launch a PDF in full screen to make reading easier, and you can just click the screen to move down the PDF pages.

This PDF program runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

Cool PDF Reader

Can be used to convert to other formats (TXT, JPG, etc.).

Command icons describe their function on mouse hover.

Very limited features compared to the alternatives.

The help file isn't very helpful.

Cool PDF Reader is light on system resources and comes in a minuscule package, at just under 4 MB for the portable version. It makes sense, then, that it calls itself "the world's smallest PDF viewer."

While it might not require much disk space, it's not the best option available. There isn't a search function, and scrolling isn't the smoothest. However, it still works as a free PDF reader if you don't like the others on this list.

You can install Cool PDF Reader to your computer or use the Standalone Package to use it without installing anything.

PDF-XChange Editor

Premium version is reasonably priced for what you get.

Adding and placing text is exceptionally easy.

PDFs created with the free version often include a big ugly watermark.

Doesn't automatically detect fields when creating forms.

PDF-XChange Editor's interface can be a bit nauseating to look at because there are buttons, toolbars, and side panels all over the place. You can easily disable most of these, though, for a much cleaner viewing experience.

In addition to opening a PDF from your own local computer, you can also enter a URL of a PDF file (the document will still be downloaded, but the program does it for you).

You can also add notes, record and attach audio, highlight text, attach files, and add a strike-through to words.

This is for Windows versions all the way back to Windows XP.

Lots of features are only available in the professional version of PDF-XChange Editor, but they're clearly marked as such and aren't difficult to spot.

Web and desktop version.

Supports really long PDFs.

Includes useful editing tools.

Some features cost.

This is both an offline PDF reader, like the other ones detailed above, and an online PDF reader. The web app is indispensable if you need to read a document ASAP.

While it's true that most web browsers can open PDFs on their own, without a tool like this one, I include it anyway because it has some really nice mini tools you might like.

For example, if you want to delete a page or two while reading the PDF, you can do that here. I also like that it's super easy to email the document, compress it to make the file smaller, and merge it with another PDF.

Overall, while this might seem more like a PDF editor, it does a great job displaying the document in your browser, something you'll prefer if you need access now , without wasting the time it takes to download one of these other desktop tools.

Since it runs online, it also means you can use it on any operating system.

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is about the closest you can get to an ‘official’ PDF reader for Windows - the company originated the document filetype, and open-sourced it several years later. For us, it’s long been the default PDF reader for Windows, as well as Apple and Android devices. But lately, we’ve been having doubts.

We’ve always liked the clean and simple interface found across Adobe’s products, and you’ll find it here. Reader is very simple to use with an intuitive design, and excellent fill and sign functions. The tool is able to check a document and automatically highlight sections that need filling in or signing, and it worked perfectly every time for us.

However, many of the tools are locked behind a paywall - even simple functions like PDF conversion require a subscription. If you just need to read, comment, annotate, or fill and sign documents, we still feel it has its uses. But increasingly, you need to subscribe to get the most from the software.

Best Windows PDF reader for fast file access

2. pdfFiller

pdfFiller is an online PDF editor built for creating and altering documents in your browser, with desktop apps for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

If you only need to view a PDF file, you can upload it from the homepage, give it a second or three to process, and you’re in. You don’t even need to sign in to use the free PDF reader. From here, you can also edit text - it effectively works like a word processor, making it very intuitive to use. At the top of the screen are a few more tools found in PDF readers and editors, including form filling, file conversion, the blackout redaction tool, and digital signatures (auto-generated, uploaded, or drawn by your own hand).

Beyond the free Windows PDF reader, everything else is locked behind subscription plans. To save or export any document changes requires sign up and selecting one of three monthly or annual subscriptions. Enterprise pricing for teams of 10+ is available.

Overall, one of the best PDF readers for Windows, Mac, mobile devices, and in the browser - documents are free to read and no sign up is necessary. But for additional tools, advanced or otherwise, a subscription will be needed.

4. Soda PDF

Soda PDF is one of the best PDF readers for Windows for both individual users and businesses. It offers a full suite of cloud-based PDF tools through either home or premium editions.

When we tested out Soda PDF, we discovered a versatile online PDF editor with plenty of tools for document management, whether it's tweaking minor typos or more or less starting from scratch.

With the software, you’re able to review, annotate, send and track documents from a single comprehensive user interface. You can also connect Soda PDF to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Evernote and Box accounts, which makes it easier to download and distribute documents.

Another great thing about the application is that it comes with a batch processing feature, allowing you to create and convert multiple PDF files at the same time. There’s an e-sign function as well, which you can use to prepare and send PDF-based contracts to clients or partners. What’s more, you can track and get reminders on all the documents you distribute through the app.

Plus, if you use a range of devices within your company, the software works not just for Windows, but also Mac, Linux, iOS and Android devices.

Overall, PDF power-users prepared to pay for the premium features will gain the most from Soda PDF. And it's certainly not one for those looking for an offline PDF reader.

Best PDF reader for Windows only

5. WinZip PDF Pro

WinZip PDF Pro is so dedicated to viewing PDFs that it's the first thing you'll see when you open this top PDF reader for Windows.

In fact, when we reviewed the software, we found this constant nudge to make it our default PDF reader on Windows, that it started getting mildly irritating. Still, overlook this minor grip and you'll find a stellar PDF reader fully loaded with tools for editing, manipulating documents. This isn't just a PDF reader,

You'll find all the usual tools - and simply, too, since the interface is clean and elegant navigation is incredibly easy. Overall, we were left with the impression that anything we needed to do with our PDF documents was largely possible in WinZip PDF Pro.

Hardware requirements are minimal, so it's an ideal PDF reader for low-end PCs.

Best Windows PDF reader for enterprise

6. Kofax Power PDF

Another notable PDF management software platform for individuals and enterprises is Power PDF, an easy-to-use piece of software that lets you create, edit, annotate and share documents quickly. It’s used by a number of large organizations and governments.

There are several versions of the software, all of which offer different features. The Standard edition lets you create, convert, combine and edit documents, fill in forms and share PDF files. It also lets you turn documents like invoices and receipts into PDFs through a scanning and OCR feature.

Meanwhile, the Power PDF Advanced package is targeted at business users. While offering all the same features of the Standard edition, it comes with collaboration, security and redaction abilities. You can access documents anywhere and at any time through the cloud, too.

Enterprises can get a quote for volume licensing of the software as well. By going down this route, firms get one deployment package with a single license.

7. Perfect PDF Ultimate

SoftXpansion has developed Perfect PDF Ultimate , which is described by the firm as an ‘all-in-one’ application for processing PDF files. Available to buy direct from the Microsoft Store, this user-friendly software is perfect for viewing, editing and creating PDF documents.

Features include the ability to edit page content, generate interactive forms, comment on existing documents, as well as being able to convert, combine and split files. You can also add e-signatures and encryption to important business files.

Thanks to its simple and intuitive interface, Perfect PDF Ultimate is a great app for beginners, especially if they’re looking to dabble with PDF editing. However, the software could feel too basic for some users. There’s also no option to convert PDFs to other formats or vice versa, so you may need to consider other options if conversion is a priority.

Best PDF readers for Windows: FAQs

Should i use a pdf editor or a pdf reader on windows.

Depending on what you intend to do with your documents, you may find you need either a PDF reader or a fully featured PDF editor.

PDF readers on Windows 10 and 11 come with plenty of tools for viewing files on your desktop. They also feature online collaboration tools, letting you share, comment, annotate, and collaborate. And the very best PDF readers for Windows 10 and 11 also come equipped with productivity-boosting tools.

PDF editors for Windows have a lot more tools, specifically for creating, editing, and converting documents into other formats. They also include features like the best PDF converter and esign software.

If you only intend to view PDF files and make notes for the team, a PDF reader (sometimes billed as a PDF viewer) should be more than enough. If you're regularly making and working on PDFs, PDF editing software will likely serve your needs better.

Alternative PDF readers and editors to consider

PDF Exchange is a free PDF editor that's rich with features. Aside from being able to view, create, and edit PDFs, there are additional options to OCR and digital sign documents. PDF-XChange Editor Plus is an upgraded version which allows for the creation and editing of PDF forms. While PDF Exchange Editor is freeware, you can pay a nominal fee to get a version with support.

Nitro PDF Reader is another free PDF reader that allows users to read, edit, and annotate PDF files. Nitro PDF offers a couple of key differences to a lot of other free PDF software, though. The first is that it allows for the creation and editing of PDF forms. The other is that it has a sleek and simple interface that uses tabbed menus, making it look like it took inspiration from Microsoft Word in presentation. Sharing and signing are also available.

STDU Viewer - aka, Scientific and Technical Document Utility Viewer - is a freeware viewer that works with multiple file formats. It aims to be an all-in-one viewer for most common file formats used in scientific documentation, such as PDF, TIFF, DjVu, XPS, JBIG2, WWF, FB2, TXT, TCR, PalmDoc(PDB), MOBI, AZW, EPub, DCX, as well as offers a range of supported image file types. It comes with a tabbed interface, multilingual support, and can also work with multi-layered text documents and convert them to single layer document file.

Adobe Reader DC is probably the most famous read-only viewer for PDF files, not least because it's free and has often been integrated with web browsers. The positives, apart from being free, include the stated aim of making PDFs viewable regardless of the operating system used. The negative, of course, is that you can't edit and annotate files in the free viewer and you will need one of the options above to do that.

How to choose the best PDF reader for Windows

When it comes to choosing the best PDF reader on Windows for you, you’ll want to gauge your needs correctly to select the right product. If you don’t often use PDFs, then it’ll be smart to get a low-cost or free PDF reader with limited functionality. But if you’re regularly working with PDFs and even need PDF editing or file conversion, then a more powerful software will be helpful.

For those who read many physical documents and need to scan and store them, a PDF reader with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature will be quite handy. In case you plan to access sensitive documents through the PDF reader, you’ll want an application that is secure and offers advanced security features. It's also worth checking for the best e-signature software and best online collaboration tools that are now a mainstay of the office.

How we test the best PDF readers for Windows

We evaluated free and paid options, and checked if the apps were for online or offline use. For paid software, we looked at their free trials and how comprehensive the trials were. We also looked into the pricing plans, and whether there were discounts on bulk purchases.

We tested the best Adobe Acrobat alternatives - and these are our top picks
