Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size, breezing-fast launch speed and amazingly rich feature set. Its core function is compatible with PDF Standard 1.7.

Fast loading and responsive to commands. No cons. I like it better than anything else I have tried.

Lower memory load than Acrobat, and better as a plug in IE. Froze Safari. Disables keyboard scrolling of the text area when used as a plugin in Firefox. Can't set precise magnification by percentage of original image size, or else that only works within IE. Can't convert PDF to text. It only does what I wanted it to do in one environment (IE), and does everything else worse than Acrobat. It's a shame, because I really liked how it works as an IE plugin, but I can't use it in Firefox, and Acrobat is a better standalone prog for what I do. I still use Foxit for simple viewing, but it still annoys me at times by little things like assuming that if I go to a new page I must want the image position reset, a bloody nuisance when I'm trying to view a document that requires magnification that makes its width larger than the screen space; I have middle-age eyes and need that magnification.Overall, a worse program than Acrobat which has only one saving grace, that it requires much less memory when used as an IE plugin.

Compact, quick and free. Needs to be kept updated, otherwise it seems to lose features.

works automaticly, no fuddling required. If it really closes a security risk of Acrobat, fine. sometimes working slowly There was not one incident, when the software had caused any problems.Even if a PDF is sent that had been composed with Acrobat, the FOXIT reds it automatically without hesitation and automatically.

I did like to use this program. Installed new version and now I regret it very much. Had to carefully remove any trace from my pc. The program installs not desired components. Hope I was able to remove all problems caused by the ask toolbar. I have lost a couple of hors and now I feel I have a not safe pc anymore.

No messy advertising, simple interface, it works... There is not not much to dislike. Adobe reader kept hanging up, this program is very discrete, opens, does the business, then closes. All like it should. Simple, ease of use is good, no ******** makes it better....

Hopefully, less security issues. Does not run at startup, eating resources, like Ado\be. Annoying, flashing ad in the upper right corner

It's Free;Low memory cost; When downloading a PDF inside the browser it needs to wait until about half the PDF is ready to realy open it. (I use Firefox and IE).

Fast reader Be careful when installing. Click Decline when asked about Ask toolbar. Clicking accept will install that crap. Bloated install but good reader
