I work at a support company and am advising my customers to use PDF24 for desktop instead of Adobe and Foxit Reader. I am receiving very good feedback on the range of tools. However, a common complaint is that PDF24 Reader (the viewer in Windows) is too simple and you have to open documents in another application or instance (PDF Creator or Toolbox) to edit and interact with the files.
I have two examples of complaints:
1) A rookie wants to include a signature in the form of a PNG image. In other programs, you just go to the quick menu bar and click “insert.” In PDF24, you have to open the Toolbox, search for and select the “Sign PDF” option, and then insert it. These are extra steps that discourage beginners from continuing (although I simply ignore the complaint and explain that this is the workflow, but the complaint still exists and I understand it).
2) Another complaint related to signing is about using and validating documents with a digital certificate (in Brazil, validated by the ICP). I can't find this option, which should also be included in a quick menu in Reader.
I believe that the inclusion of alias buttons or quick shortcuts in Reader leading to the functions in the Toolbox without having to close the document would be a welcome addition to this wunderbar project.

There will be many improvements to the PDF24 Reader. The upcoming version will also bring many improvements, and many more will follow. We are continuing to work hard on this.
Many features are also available in the Toolbox. Many things were easier to develop there. This saved us some time, as we were able to use many features from the online tools. This made many users happy. But we also understand that many functions are also well suited to PDF24 Reader. PDF24 Reader is fast, requires few system resources, and is already a real alternative in the field of PDF readers. We are staying on the ball and gradually adding new functions.
It is truly an honor to receive a response from you, Herr Ziegler.
Although I work in support, I am not a programmer and can offer very little assistance with the development of your project, which is why I came to this forum.
I appreciate your work. I will keep an eye out for updates.
