Pdfleserfx is a simple, open source desktop app for reading PDF files on your computer. It aims to be completely usable on touchscreen devices without mouse or keyboard. Further, it tries to give the user more fine-grained control over the rendering of the PDF pages on the screen than conventional PDF apps.
Current features include:
- fullscreen mode, page previous/next, all toggleable with a double-tap
- an overlay background color selectable by the user for easier reading on glossy screens
- manual setting of the dpi resolution used for rendering the PDF page
- user-defined border cropping
- document-specific reading settings are stored in an embedded database
- quick navigation to the last five read documents
- cross-plattform: Windows, Linux, macos
Planned features:
- support for TOCs
- improved touch usability
- localization
- faster application startup using GraalVM
