According to the Docear user manual, Selecting a PDF Editor:

We highly recommend PDF-XChange Viewer because it’s the only (free) PDF editor that fully supports all the features that Docear needs. However, please ensure that you download the PDF-XChange Viewer, and not the Editor.

However PDF-XChange Viewer is currently reporting that it is discontinued.

The PDF-XChange Viewer has been discontinued and replaced by the PDF-XChange Editor which is now available including all the features of the Viewer and much, much more. . .

  1. What is now the recommended course of action now for users?

  2. Also, as PDF-XChange only works on Windows, is there a recommended alternative for Mac & Linux?

    Edit: Woops, didn't need to ask this, the answer is here: http://www.docear.org/support/user-manual/#Overview

  3. How should the user manual best be updated?

@evolve2k @peterolejua PDF-XChange Viewer can be used with wine (playonlinux) in GNU/Linux. Use the following in the PDF options in Docear.

playonlinux*--run*PDFXCview*/A*page=$PAGE*`winepath -w "$FILE"`
