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.

You might want to check out IrfanView. Make7 Mar 2019 #3

I have Irfanview but didn't know it would do PDFs. Girard442 Mar 2019 #5

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.
