    Blazing fast scrolling at any zoom level

    Date: Apr 18 2023

    Summary: This is one of the very best open source softwares I've ever used. The program has a minimal interface, probably to make it fast.

    Positive: Folks at adobe should learn coding from these guys. I gave up on Adobe Reader as:

    1. Its scrolling speed was less than satisfactory at zoom level other than 100%, for long pdf files, for graphic heavy pdf files with images and/or mathematical notations.
    2. It would always reduce document window space in by incorporating various toolbars to the right/bottom at opening time.
    3. It would also not remember last opened page view by default.
    4. Shameless popups of adobe paid services and digital signature warnings.

    Sumatra PDF does not have any of these problems.

    Negative: Advanced settings opens a notepad file, containing sensitive settings, that, if edited incorrectly, may break the program. Would be better to make it a GUI based menu.
