Read any PDF file on your PC.

When it comes to sharing documents online, the PDF format has become a standard, just like JPEG is used for photos. This makes it important to have a program that lets you read PDF files that you've downloaded. As far as PDF readers go, Soda 3D PDF Reader is one of the best.

Open and Read PDF Files Easily With Soda 3D PDF Reader

Soda 3D PDF Reader has a simple layout that is similar to Microsoft Office apps. It has a ribbon-style navigation menu that shows you all of the controls. When you open a PDF file in it, it will show you a preview right away, so that you can get an idea of its content. It also supports tabs, so you can open many PDF files at once.

This app makes reading PDF files simple and convenient. You can zoom in on the document, which is very practical if you're looking at an image with text elements that are small. There are multiple view types available in the reader, such as multipage, continuous and fullscreen.

One of the more unique features of Soda 3D PDF Reader is its 3D view functionality. This lets you manipulate the pages of PDF documents like a book, swiping left and right. The 3D feature is very useful if you're reading a book in PDF format, especially comic books. In addition to PDF files, Soda 3D PDF Reader supports CBR and CBZ files too, which are often used to distribute online comics.

Creates PDF Files Too

Soda 3D PDF Reader is more than just a simple PDF reader. It allows you to create your own PDF files as well. All that you need to do is to access the "Create PDF" function and choose the file you want to convert to a PDF document. The program supports a wide range of file types, including common Office formats like Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

Even though Soda 3D PDF Reader presents options to edit or annotate files in its user interface, these aren't actually available in the program. If you click on one of them, it will take you to a page asking you to buy one of their premium PDF tools. Some users can find this slightly misleading, as the software gives the appearance that it has these features at first glance.

Available Online or as a Download

Soda 3D PDF Reader is now available as a cloud-based service, in addition to the Windows app. The online service lets you drag and drop PDF files right in your browser, in addition to retrieving them from cloud-based services like Google Drive and Dropbox.
