eXPert PDF Reader v1.5

Andrew Lee on 12 Feb 2013

eXPert PDF Reader is a quick viewer for PDF files. It also provides editing capabilities for outlines, rubber stamps and annotations.

Category:
System Requirements: Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Windows registry. But given the nature of the application and the small number of options that it exposes, I am accepting it as portable.
Dependencies:
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the installer and install to the default folder C:\Program Files\Visagesoft\pdfreader. Then copy all files your choice. Finally, uninstall the program. Launch vspdfreader.exe.

This program has an installer. It's not portable.

Just downloaded, Installed and ran OK. (on XPsp3).
Excelent pictures to PDF Thanks to developers.
@Andrew: It occasionaly does on startup - just repeat
@Ray: RTFM

Lousy program. Leaves a white margin around around every image, regardless of the margin and/or paper size settings. Also, it doesn't properly set the page size, so each page looks like a thumbnail image.

PDF2EXE v1.0.0

Andrew Lee on 12 Feb 2013

PDF2EXE converts any PDF file to EXE, making PDF readable on any computer without a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat software installed. The conversion from PDF to EXE preserves the look and feel of the original document and includes optional compression. Note that PDF2EXE is based on Cool PDF Reader, which has attracted some comments disparaging the quality of its rendering engine. If you don't like Cool PDF Reader, you will probably want to give this a miss as well.

PDF2EXE also contains security features such as encryption of the shared PDF to help prevent modification, as well as disabling printing and image conversion.

System Requirements: Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP

Unicode support: No

How to extract: Download the installer and extract to a folder of your choice. The application files are located in the {app} subfolder. Launch PDF2EXE.exe.

Free PDF readers (Adobe's or otherwise) are so common and easy to obtain that I'm wondering how necessary it is to offer an alternative format, especially one that wouldn't work on Macs or Linux systems. If I knew for sure that my audience were all Windows users, I guess I might consider distributing .EXE files, but if it were up to me I'd prefer that everyone just had some kind of PDF reader.

The main site doesn't seem to be carrying the file any longer. Neither link on their site works (rapidshare, locally on their site). Fyi (for anyone else looking)... found version 2.08, apparently their latest on cnet:
