I am an Adobe Certified Expert in Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Numerous years (and employments) back, I was a Tier 2 professional supporting Adobe Acrobat. Foxit's download page makes the intense case that it is 'Superior to anything Adobe Reader and Acrobat,' yet a more exact proclamation would be that it may be better, in particular circumstances that could possibly apply to you. To ensure this wasn't a tribute to the laptop's processor, an Atom notebook was also enlisted - with similar results.Foxit Software's PhantomPDF (in both Standard and Business versions) settle on a decent decision for essential office needs, yet it experiences a character emergency once you get to the top of the line highlights. We tried a 700-page PDF manual comprising text and images, and with both apps, the application load time coupled with file opening was less than two seconds. Where Adobe Reader once started with a splashscreen while it loaded in the background, it now opens almost instantaneously. We compared Foxit Reader 3.0 to Adober Reader 9.1, and found that in terms of app startup and file opening speeds, there was little between them. You can also list the layers in a document, and an OnDemand content management feature is designed to allow group collaboration on documents. New in the latest version is an Attachments Panel which lists all the attached files in a PDF, along with a Thumbnail Panel. But if you do sell yourself with these additions, Foxit includes a couple of extra features only found in the paid-for Pro version.

In the case of Foxit, this behaviour includes installing a Firefox plugin making Ask.com your default search engine and creating desktop, quick launch and start menu icons for eBay. As with other softwared offered for free, you have to be diligent when installing to ensure Foxit Reader 3.0 doesn't install unwanted plugins nor alter your PC defaults.
