"Excellent program." Reads some files that Adobe won't. None to report. Easy to use.

My needs are simpler than what this product can provide, but in testing I still find that for accessing / viewing PDF files, this product is not as smooth and consistent as I would like it to be. Sumatra PDF 1.0 provides a better experience for me, though Foxit is no slouch. It's just that it's not as good as I had expected, given the recommendations that I have fielded from fellow users. Suggestions and feedback has been sent in the hopes that the programmers will take them into consideration. There is little use complaining if you do not make an honest effort to help see the product improved, I guess. Here's hoping.

"opensevery PDF I have foundl" quick load none - This is sufficient - why 10 character minimum description? As good , smaller and quicker than Adobe and free

Requires less space then Adobe Reader. The main working screen looks somewhat like the Adobe screen. But has more features displayed than the Adobe screen. There aren't any negative issues. This is a great program. I began using an earlier version about two years ago and have made it my default .pdf reader. When used with a .pdf creation program, one can either carry many files on a UBS, plug in drive, or attach the file to an outgoing email. Prior to adopting this program, I had used the Adobe Reader since it's early releases but have relegated it to a secondary position.

"No1 PDF Reader" Excellent easy to use ,fast lightweight no bugs . None tried the rest Foxit PDF reader still the best. Bye to Adobe bloated PDF reader

It does seem like a good, fast, lightweight PDF reader. The installation routine tries to install all sorts of other junk. As noted, it looks like a good little reader. I haven't had it long enough to give it a workout. I don't like the installation routine. It tries to install all sorts of unrelated junk. I thought that I had selected no for all of the other stuff during the installation, but when I started FireFox I discovered that the FoxIt installation had installed an Ask.com toolbar. I uninstalled it right away. I don't have anything against Ask.com, but when I want to use it I can find it. I really dislike having things installed on my computer against my wishes.

"just great ! installed on all my pcs" miniscule in size & opens in the blink of an eye. A real winner! none found yet! I don't get it, how can foxit do in 5megs what it takes Adobe 130megs - this product is a winner; I've installed it on all 7 PCs around the family and deleted Adobe with no regrets to-date

"Great reader" Finally a PDF reader that uses the click of the wheel switch and mouse position to do the scrolling none so far

"Loads faster" Loads faster I haven't used it enough I haven't used it enough to have an opinion, but it sems to load faster than adobe and it hasn't broken anything.

"My new default PDF reader!" Fast, small, unbloated, good basic feature set. None noted so far, but I have not yet tried its performance on forms. For basic PDF reading, this beats Adobe's bloatware by a long shot!

"Excellent Adobe alternative" view PDFs in a more resource friendly application that isn't bundled with a buggy download manager for it's browser plugin (FireFox) or likely to infuriate you with it's updater application doing it's own thing regardless of what you tell it. It's not Adobe

"Light-speed fast and error free." After download, you'll be asked if you want Foxit to be your default program for this type(pdf) of files. Be sure to check yes. Then uninstall Adobe Reader as fast as your fingers can fly. You won't look back. None. A fine product.

"Very useful" It does the job I don't need the Yahoo toolbar

"The best PDF reader I've ever seen!" It's much much faser than Adobe Reader! No cons at all!

"better than Adobe Acrobat" can identify text separately from images; keeps documents in tabs the quality of the image is grainy and not as good as Acrobat I use Foxit in preference to Acrobat

"When I downloaded, It seems that this is a buety." It is a alternative reader which I use to like. Seems that there is nothing to dislike now and afterwards. After extremely bored about 'Adobe" adobe and adobe, everywhere, this thing is quite refreshning and I came to know that there are other alternative ways to destination.

"Farewell, Adobe!" No arguing to create, open or manipulate PDF docs. Works as advertised. Works with various office programs, even papers from gov't websites. Needs only a substitute for Adobe Air and Active-X to be perfect. trouble-free Honestly? Best feature: It's not Adobe. Thank Heavens! Not a resource hog. Sleek, fast and sexy - I mean, foxy.

"Works as advertised and as expected." Handy; fast. No issues here. Cleaner interface; less complicated. I want to read a .pdf. Click.
