Preview is vastly better than any stock Windows reader. It lets you read, edit and share nearly all PDFs. I can’t recall every getting stuck.

Yes, most PDFs are version 1.4 or less until you get into the business world where more complex PDFs requiring a 2.0 reader exist.

That said, the Edge PDF viewer also lets you read, edit, and share nearly all PDFs.

  • I do it in windows near daily. It’s slow, taking a long time to open and a long time to make them. I’ve tried using the browser, notepad and Word.

    I’m surprised you find it fine. It’s more clicks and slower at each step than on a Mac.

    • PDFs open just as fast in Edge as they do in Preview. Printing to PDF is no different from macOS or Windows.
