Hello!

I want a free app to read PDFs; indeed I had installed Adobe Acrobat but as soon as I uninstall it the PDF files are no longer in that format.

So I need your help; thank you!

    Hello,

    Internet browsers (Firefox, Chrome) read PDFs natively. You need to associate the .pdf file extension with your browser.

    For PDF reading, I use Foxit Reader; there are also, very lightweight, SumatraPDF.

    Hello

    ah, I have Chrome though but the PDF doesn’t look like a PDF?

    Is Sumatra completely free?

    thank you for answering me

      Hello,

      Yes, Sumatra PDF is completely free and open source.

      I don’t have Chrome on hand, but I’ve already used it for PDFs without any problems. What exactly is the issue?

      You can also try Microsoft Edge, which is built-in to Windows.
