Nitro PDF Reader has long been our favourite Windows PDF tool at Lifehacker AU, offering bloat-free options for both viewing and editing PDF files. Version 2.1 makes a bunch of improvements, including adding selection tools to its browser plug-in and expanding the zoom option to offer sizing between 1 per cent and 6400 per cent.
