I don't recommend this app to French speakers — it will **** them off ! The French localization is ridiculous — some of the menus are in English, some in Spanish, and some in pseudo-French.

I'll NOT recommend this application : it's not free at all, even with just a simple reading feature. You'll find a beautiful big advertising window, always visible wherever you're in your document, at the bottom of your window. Even on a good iMac with right graphic card, this software is slow and very expensive. Have a look at PDF Expert instead : fast, with all common tools, much more cheaper and better design.
