BasicPDFReader

I was tired of other PDF readers being clunky and way too big for just displaying a book.

Installation:

  • Download the latest zip from Releases
  • Unpack into a folder
  • Launch PDFReader.exe

Right click and drag on the directories to move.

Middle click and drag on the directories to resize.

Right click on the directory tree for options.


Hotkeys

  • F5 to refresh the current directory
  • O to open
  • T for Always on Top

Put any suggestions in issues.

KNOWN ISSUES / TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Dragging and resizing doesn't work on the PDF view, currently you can manipulate the window only using the directory view.
  • Resizing is clunky.
  • If you get an error while loading the directory, or any permission issues, reset the directory path or delete the file in "%appdata%/JCVPDF Reader", or run this command:

del "%appdata%\JCVPDF Reader\folders.txt"

TODO

  • CLEAN THE CODE!
  • Figure out an installer and discarding/packing all the unnecessary DLLs. If you know how to do this, please put it in suggestions!
  • Tabs
  • Better memory management
  • More file directories, maybe directory bookmarks
  • Better menus

MAYBE

  • Rewrite the thing in C++ WPF
