Foxit Reader
Filed Under Uncategorized
This morning Seth pointed out a new application to me, Foxit Reader. This one actually caught my attention right away. It’s a PDF reader, similar to Adobe Acrobat Reader.
According to the website, the product boasts following list of compelling advantages of Foxit Reader:
- Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is only 2.1 M which is a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.
- Breezing-fast: When you run Foxit Reader, it launches instantly without any delay. You are not forced to view an annoying splash window displaying company logo, author names, etc.
- Annotation tool: Have you ever wished to annotate (or comment on) a PDF document when you are reading it? Foxit Reader allows you to draw graphics, highlight text, type text and make notes on a PDF document and then print out or save the annotated document.
- Text converter: You may convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.
- High security and privacy: Foxit Reader highly respects the security and privacy of users and will never connect to the Internet without users’ permission. While other PDF readers often silently connect to the Internet in the background. Foxit PDF Reader does not contain any spyware.
I haven’t actually downloaded it yet, but I was so excited I figured I’d make a post about it… I’ll let the masses choose for themselves when it comes to peoples opinions about the product itself, and if I remember (being the key item here), I’ll come back and give my thoughts on it.
