I built a free PDF reader/editor for Windows, looking for feedback from Windows users
Hi everyone
I’m an indie developer working on Folio PDF Reader & Editor, a free PDF app for Windows.
I built Folio because many PDF tools on Windows feel either too expensive, too cluttered, too limited, or too subscription-heavy for everyday document work. My goal was to create a cleaner PDF workspace for reading, editing, reviewing, organizing, and working with longer documents.
Some of the main features include:
• PDF reading in a clean interface
• PDF text editing
• Highlighting, comments, drawing, stamps, and signatures
• Page organization with drag-and-drop
• Cross-document page drag-and-drop
• Fillable form creation
• Password protection, watermarking, compression, export, and print tools
• Page-based OCR that extracts text and can translate it
• AI chat with PDFs
• AI document comparison
• AI-generated mind maps from documents
• Reading modes like Zen Mode, Book Mode, and Split View
I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from Windows users. What would make you switch from your current PDF app? Is it speed, cleaner UI, better annotation tools, form editing, Acrobat compatibility, privacy, AI features, or something else?
I’d especially appreciate criticism about what feels unnecessary, confusing, or missing.
