    Good but I much prefer Sumatra which is smaller faster & renders even complicated electronic schematics correctly & is totally true Freeware.

    Was a regular user during Foxit 1.x and 2.x. Starting with 3.x it bloatted (at the maximum of version 5).

    Lots of features available, but less than Acrobat. Maybe you want to try PDF-XChange, SumatraPDF, or SumatraPDFOpt.

    Foxit is a very handy tool for making comments on or filling in PDFs that otherwise don't allow for those functions. But BEWARE: even if you specify that it not be the default reader, it will usually be the default reader. And you will waste countless minutes if, for example, you want to print a shipping label from the U. S. Postal Service online, which only works with Adobe Reader. Foxit invades that print option as well and prevents the label from printing. All in all a useful tool with despicable invasive capabilities. I have to confess that I continually install and un-install it, since the type feature, which is hard to find, by the way, is so handy.

    Classic toolbar view is added back in 5.1 so it's much more acceptable than the 5.0.x atrocity.

    Why must every good software become bloated by adding completely useless features? It was great soft while being small and fast - sadly more!
