Foxit Reader 4.1.0.0726

Foxit Reader Windows has long been the most visible alternative to Adobe Reader, but with its latest update, this popular freeware weakened slightly. While the jump from version 2 to version 3 while adding bloat cut some features in version 4 adds several new features, but also throws a few curveballs unpleasant.

The installation process has become more cumbersome. It will automatically check you in the license agreement Foxit and you also agreed to install the Foxit search bar that changes your default search provider to request and makes the home page of your Ask.com. She also opts you in Foxit add-on for Firefox, and creating desktop, Quick Launch, and Start menu items that link to eBay. In addition, during our tests, it was requisitioned by the default PDF reader parameter even if we unchecked this box.

4S interface version is virtually indistinguishable from the previous version. The toolbar also contains a long row of icons. This is not a bad design, but it looks very Windows XP and can be overwhelming for some users. Fortunately, there is a customizable toolbar that you can change by right-clicking on it.

There are some useful new features that should serve to remind users why alternatives to Adobe Reader are so precious. In addition to reading PDF tab, measurement tools, and automatic scrolling, it seems that Foxit withdrew his application for users to install its toolbar before having access to editing features, such as putting show, commenting on the creation of a hyperlink. There is a new feature that allows text automatically view a PDF file you view text-only, and watermark printing costs was extended to users of the free version.

However, Foxit lacks some special options such as PDF creation, and continued to harass add functionality is boring - even if some features you can add to Foxit is free. For example, Foxit promoting a collaborative system online called OnDemandCM on the landing page of the program when you open Foxit without loading a PDF file. Once you install the add-on, you will be prompted to register on the website Foxit, but using the service itself is not free.

During a half day of use, performance varied Foxit. Usually it would open a PDF and maneuver easily within and from time to time he would be slow and unresponsive momentarily. In general, Foxit is lighter on your system resources than Adobe Reader, but there are a growing number of solid solutions that drive replacement.
