Sumantra PDF Reader<\/strong><\/p>\nSumantra PDF Reader is the open source PDF reader and viewer for windows which has a minimalistic design. Its also very small in size and starts up very fast. Sumatra is designed completely for portability, as it consists of one single file with no external dependencies. Sumatra hyperlinks embedded in PDF documents are also supported. I could only find pros about this software but couldn’t find any cons about it.<\/p>\n

With PDF Hammer once installed on your PC you can not only read the PDF files but also you can edit pdf documents, merge or combine pdf files together, rearrange, reorder and delete pages.

Google Docs automatically converts Gmail attachment documents into a file available to view in Google Docs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
