PDF reader for single user

Question

I am looking for a lightweight PDF reader for single user which has these features:

• View mode: full screen, single page and continuous scrolling. Can zoom.
• Virtual printer
• Text search, bookmarks and last page view
• Multi tabs, remembering last open tabs is a plus
• Can add custom hotkeys
• Available for Windows

Some addition features to consider, sort by important:

• Right click on selected text to google
• Can make bookmarks from non-bookmarked PDF
• Can export images
• Can deal with djvu format
• Have ORC feature (scan text to make it searchable)
• Available for Linux

Things I definitely don't need:

• Fill form
• Annotating and commenting
• Sharing and collaborating
• Securing my files (I even don't install any antivirus software, because they are useless)

Answer 1

For years now, I have used PDF-XChange Viewer and can highly recommend it.

• View mode: full screen, single page and continuous scrolling. Can zoom. Yes
• Virtual printer Yes
• Text search, bookmarks and last page view Yes
  (I particularly like that you can search through the current document, all open documents, or all PDF documents in a given directory.
• Multi tabs, remembering last open tabs is a plus Yes to both
• Can add custom hotkeys Yes
• Available for Windows Yes

And for some of your nice-to-have features:

• Right click on selected text to Google Yes
• Can make bookmarks from non-bookmarked PDF Yes
• Can export images Available in PRO version
• Can deal with djvu format No
• Have ORC feature (scan text to make it searchable) Yes
• Available for Linux No

Well, it hits most of your points & could can try it so see about the others. Plus, it is free.

For many years it has been the top recommended PDF reader at Gizmo's TechSupportAlert

Answer 2

I have found a free PDF Viewer Evince which is lightweight and allow you to view multiple types of document like djvu, tiff, PDF, XPS, etc.

It has following features:

• View PDFs,
• view thumbnails,
• search,
• view document indexes,
• print documents, and
• encrypted document viewing.

And you want the application available for Windows and Linux both platforms than Evince is available for both.
