I want preview (the app) on all my devices. Not just my laptop. Is there something out there for Windows that fill that niche?
Edit: The thing that has impressed me about preview is that I can use it for very basic image editing, filling out forms (with signatures), and reading books. And it is very good at all of those. So that is what I would want in a replacement.
- krylon 9y agoI am not sure how close it comes, but for PDFs I use SumatraPDF: https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html It is relatively lightweight, can be used without a formal installation (i.e. no admin privileges required), and I like very much that it stores its state between sessions, so when I open it after a reboot, it has all the files open I had open before, and it also saves the position within the files. Searching within files is not as good as with Apple's Preview.app, but most of the lengthy files I view have decent TOCs, so it is not a big problem for me.
- mrec 9y agoSeconded. Despite the name it also handles things like EPUB and CBZ competently.
- krylon 9y agoI just found out it handles djvu nicely, too.
- fhood 9y agoThanks, I'll take a look.
