What do you like best about PDFlite?

PDFlite allows you to carry out the basic PDF reading needs. The software is intuitive, easy to use and if you are confused, there are multiple help resources on the internet. What I like most is that it is free, it goes beyond reading, also allowing printing and converting documents. Finally, I can also refer to how well the types of fonts and the size of the pages in documents created in other programs are adapted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFlite?

Small files work correctly, but when the files are large, the software can freeze when you select the print function. I also see negative that PDFlite is only available for Windows, since it would be used more in Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFlite:

I think it's essential in a company today, to have a free PDF reader installed. PDFlite is that option that you need, because it is a flexible program for the user that allows to carry out any modification in the document, as well as allowing the printing and conversion of files, facilitating the work done by several software at the same time.

What do you like best about PDFlite?

I really did not have the opportunity to try it, I downloaded it to see how it was since it caught my attention, but when I wanted to install my antinvirus it warns me that the program has a virus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFlite?

When trying to test the program, Avira throws me an alert about the presence of a trojan, for which I decide to analyze the program with the virustotal class and I find myself with the unpleasant surprise that 12 detections of malicious codes occur, among them " variant of Generik.LQQEMFU potentially unwanted "," Win32: Malware-gen "," PUA: Win32 / Puwaders.B! ml "and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PDFlite:

Unfortunately it can not recommend this program at all, since according to my antivirus and virustotal this program contains a potentially dangerous code. It really is a pity, since I really wanted to try it and see how well (or badly) the functions promoted by the program authors worked.

For the rest, I know that sometimes there are some programs that can be detected as dangerous by antivirus, but that does not even happen to me with torrent programs, which led me to think that it really was not a good idea to try to install PDFlite.

A shame Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFlite solving and how is that benefiting you?

none, because as I said before the analysis indicates that the program is not safe, and in addition to that my antivitus (AVIRA) blocked the installation of the program due to the presence of "PUA / InstallCore" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
