Looking for easy PDF browser.
I'm trying to go paperless (well, paper less, anyway). I keep my "paperwork" as scanned images and PDFs. I have some nice image browsers that let me page quickly through a folder of TIFs and JPEGs and deleted unwanted ones with a keystroke. Somehow, I can't seem to find a viewer that does that for PDFs. Surely must be one.
Thanks in advance.

Try using the preview pane in Window File Explorer. It's free and it's built-in.

It's free, small, and pretty easy to use. I think you may need the Formats plugin to view pdf files though:

When you open a file from a folder, you can step through the rest of the files using the arrow keys and delete a file by just hitting the Delete key.

Looks like it might work for me. TY.

Can't say that I've used it, but it's at least an option to explore. Good Luck!

Right now the freebie solutions look like they'll work for me. TY.
