PDF Presenter
Minimal PDF presenter
What it does
A minimal, single-purpose presenter: open a PDF, get a presenter view on one screen — Now and Next preview plus a clickable slide thumbnail strip — and a clean fullscreen output on a second screen. No notes panel, no NDI, no network integrations.
A stripped-down sibling of the Presentation Commander client, keeping only its proven pdf.js rendering pipeline and multi-window display-picker pattern.
It also ships as a hosted browser build, PDF Presenter Lite, which needs nothing installed: the same presenter view and output window in a tab, reading the PDF from your own disk and never uploading it. The Lite is the difference in capability — no OSC, no Companion, no watched folder, none of the desktop integrations — and nothing else, since both builds share the whole UI.
- Now/Next presenter view with a clickable slide thumbnail strip
- Clean fullscreen output window with a display picker
- OSC control, with a Bitfocus Companion module
- Prebuilt binaries for x64 and ARM64 on every platform, plus combined universal builds for macOS and Windows
- A hosted browser build, PDF Presenter Lite, for a machine you cannot install on
Where it stands
Field proven — released at v1.3.1 and run on real events. The binaries are not code-signed, so the first launch shows a Gatekeeper or SmartScreen warning.
