I like to put pdf doc on my SD card, then i can carry it with me.

My requirements:

  1. portable, the exe doesn't need to be installed, and the app configuration should be saved with the exe other than in Appdata folder.

  2. wherever I read my pdf doc on my laptop, my desktop, I'd like the reader to remember the page i last read.

So far, the foxit pdf readers can meet 1. However it always remember the last page of the doc in absolute path, then problem comes. Since the SD card will be assigned different driver latter on different pc, the last page of the pdf is not always correct due to driver letter change on different PC.

Any PDF reader can meet my requirements?

Here are two free and portable PDF readers that might meet your criteria:

Gnostice Free PDF Viewer

Gnostice Free PDF Viewer is a free, fast, and portable PDF viewer application, powered by Gnostice PDFOne Java Professional edition. It has an integrated bookmark panel.

PDF-XCHANGE VIEWER

It has mark-up pages with text and objects

You'll have to see if the features they advertise are useful for you. The feature of bookmarking especially, since some viewers confuse the table-of-contents with bookmarks.

I like sumatra PDF. It is minimalistic but does the job.

i use a slightly customized version of mupdf's x11 interface (SumatraPDF uses mupdf's renderer). mainly because it's so fast and i can have 200 instances open if i wish with no problems but it doesn't store any viewer state. and i really don't like the idea of mutating documents. – Dan D.
