Nonsense. I use SumatraPDF exclusively for reading PDFs. Search support: You could help yourself by reading the excellent Manual (accessible from the Help menu) before making incorrect assertions: |

Yeah, I missed that one. But still two clicks away. Cumbersome for me who do lot of lookups now and then. And still it is one off three features I suggested. If you have used Microsoft Edge inbuilt pdf viewing, You would have noticed that web search is a single click away, also search with bing offers sidebar quick web view in the same tab page. Also nice little crafty feature define offers quick overlay definition still a one click away. But all of which that concerns me about Sumatra Reader most is lack of support for narrator. It doesn't posses built in reader(TTS) either. |

@jakima For test comment above the result is as perfect as can be expected. i.e. better than CopyFish, but may wrap lines differently.
dpscreenOCR, oddly adds a blank line in some cases, but layout is closer to "as seen"
however there are advantages to using dpscreenOCR as more suited to tables. However note that dpscreenOCR reader missed out two words I would want Bin and Doc. All will have understandable problems with un recognised symbols / lines |

Read aloud support, dictionary and web search support is required to make this a good option for viewing docs. Right now this is only good for viewing comics and similar. To reading pdfs Edge browser, Acrobat, Foxit all do better job than Sumatra reader. So developers could please you consider my suggestions? Anyway thanks for good work making this program free and open-source.
