I've been using chrome to view datasheets but it's very limited in its capability.
I've tried a few chrome extensions but they kinda suck.
And i'm looking for free software because of course i would.
There are two main things that i want to do in a PDF:
* Highlight because i often lose my track i the sea of text.
* Bookmarks because jumping between registers in micro datasheets is a major PITA.
I epecially hate when the datasheet tells you to look at
figure x for whatever diagram or chart they want to show you and the text has a link that takes you to the figure, so you click the link and get teleported to an unknown location within the datasheet with no way to get back to where you were previously. So then you have to scroll and search for the spot where you were before you clicked on the link, which gets really tiresome and interruptive for my non-existent attention span. Sometimes by the time you get back to where you left you have already forgotten what the figure was about so you have to go back
Or
figure x is not a link so you have to scroll around and search for the figure otherwise you don't know what the tempco is, or the timings, or the data structure, or the block diagram of the device.
In Dave's recent jellybean video he used some kind of PDF viewer which looked pretty interesting, i wonder what it's called.
Didn't look like it needed an account or anything, i assume it's free? (i'm such a cheapskate, don't even mention it)
I'm interested to hear your opinions.
