Foxit Reader Now Offers Integration with Social Networks, Read Out Loud, and Usability Enhancements

http://www.foxitsoftware.com/announcements/201110265722.html

 

Oh for God sake, not another one with social crap

 

And ask toolbar

 

But of course, I expected no less

 

What does social networking have to do with .PDF files?

 

Changelog?

 

Here,

Full at http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/upgrade.php
Updated via internal updater.

 

Thank you.
Those are all features.
I wonder if they fixed anything?
Any security changes?

 

Lots, for example, it's a good feature for telling users to stop using their product and use a better alternative.

 

I asked Foxit for a changelog and they directed me to the readme.txt.

 

I think I'll look into Sumatra. Thanks for the prod.

 

i so wish sumatra would add the ability to input text then imo it would be almost perfect

 

I love foxit

but they are doing unnecessary enhancement

sumatra is Good but verylight alternitive

i prefer foxit for intense reading

 

I've been all over the "better alternative" and can't find a download link

 

What happened to Sumatra Portable Released for PA Platform users, courtesy of PortableApps.com?

 

here is the msi installer for foxit without the added junk

enjoy!!

 

I think Foxit has lost their way. At least, with vn 5 they've lost me. I've switched to Nitro PDF Reader. It integrates a bit less well with browsers for multi-page documents, but is superior to Foxit in other respects. It's great for completing forms and I just used it for the first time to sign a contract. It did so perfectly, leaving the document's signature line intact despite descenders in my signature. Also, I had been using Nitro's PrimoPDF as our PDF printer driver, but the driver installed with the reader works well.

 

Thanks again.
Your first link is the same one I struggled through - it has no download other than for change list and bug tracking etc.
But your second link (amazonaws) to the installer works. I just downloaded it. How did you find it and why isn't it on the Sumatra page in the first place. Weird.

 

elapsed's link and JR's link have the download link prominently displayed on the Sumatra PDF page. I don't know why you aren't seeing it, unless it's your browser.

Edit in: elapsed's link ( http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-reader.html ) seems to be the one that shows the download link consistently. Strangely, I am now seeing it come and go on these links.

 

Re: "elapsed's link and JR's link have the download link prominently displayed on the Sumatra PDF page."
Could be the browser. Here's how it goes for me - first the main link takes me here


then I click and it's not there


I did download from the direct link, installed and it looks like a very nice reader.

 

I know, i was kidding
No problem here seeing the download links with Opera
