Pdf-No-Img

View PDF documents without the images

Free Download

Pdf-No-Img Installation Program v.0.9.1 (size < 1 MB) (for Windows)

Description

Pdf-No-Img is a freeware tool for viewing PDF documents without the images. Pdf-No-Img is a Windows application. When you open a .pdf file using this tool, image objects in the document are replaced by a simple gray box (shown below).

Pdf-No-Img is not a PDF viewer itself, it only creates a temporary "no-image version" that is then displayed by your default PDF viewer as usual.

Pdf-No-Img hides only image objects, it does not hide:

Vector graphics (often used for technical drawings and charts)
Inline images (typically small)

Pdf-No-Img cannot handle secured encrypted .pdf files. A message will be shown when this occurs, and the program will stop.

Another limitation is that Pdf-No-Img does not effect .pdf files opened inside the internet browser (or inside other applications). You must first download the file, before you can let Pdf-No-Img act on it.

Usage

To open a .pdf with images hidden:

Browse to the file in Windows Explorer as usual
Right-click on the .pdf file
In the pop-up menu, choose "Open with", "Pdf-No-Img"

If you want that images are hidden by default when you open a .pdf file, then make Pdf-No-Img the default program for .pdf files, as follows:

Right-click on a .pdf file
In the pop-up menu, choose "Open with", "Choose program" / "Choose default program"
Select "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
Select Pdf-No-Img, and click OK.

After you have made Pdf-No-Img the default program, you can still view the original .pdf with all images, when needed, by right-clicking, and choosing "Open original", or by choosing "Open with", and then selecting the PDF viewer of your choice.

Configuration program

The settings of Pdf-No-Img can be configured in the included configuration program.
