That section of my review has therefore been removed.

The browser plug-in no longer works in modern browsers, which have moved away from NPAPI support. I am still finding my way around the host of new features and changes, but I will update this page when I have had time to use the new version more and familiarise myself with the changes. The free PDF-XChange Editor replaced the free PDF-X-Changer Viewer several years ago. Reported bugs are often fixed in the next release. Unlike other software companies, they don’t rely primarily on other end-users to provide support.

Their responsiveness to users via their support forum is exemplary. The developers continue to add new features and fix bugs, releasing regular updates. Online help is available, or a PDF version (53.8 Mbytes). It is very customisable too, so if you don’t like the defaults, many things can be modified. PDF-XChange has some very nice features not found in Adobe Reader, but where it matters it follows the familiar shortcuts and layout of the established market leader.
