In reality, NO. VirtualView has been helpful in a very few times here, but I have numerous times experienced PDF-files that it did not read at all. Have some documents here, that reads fine enough in QRead, does read little or nothing in Adobe, and all you can get from the VirtualView is that it cannot find any text to display. Have reported it to the developer, but even the newest version shows little improvement on the matter. To what extent this is due to some settings deep inside the system or app, I have been unable to discern.
But for a reliable PDF interpretation, I would say it is far from what you really need. Again, it might be due to the kind of PDF files, and since the app is freeware, you do not loose anything by trying installing it, and give it a go. Only remember, if it reports back that there is no text, or if you think the document will hold more text, give any other reader or OCR a try. By the way, have tested the app with a few other file formats that it supposedly could be used on, with just as little result. Even on screenshots it come out with poor results. The app has proven helpful to several users here, and the idea is a great one. so I wonder if tweaking the settings could be my bottleneck. Perhaps other users could tell what settings they have found helpful. The hotkey of the app, is by default Alt-Ctrl-V. Should that not work on your computer, go to the WE Controlpanel, open the App Manager, and go under the VirtualView and choose Help, then choose Hotkey Manager and give the app another hotkey that is not in conflict with other stuff on your PC.

Can Virtual View be used instead of Adobe Acrobat or Qread or another PDF reader?
