Foxit Reader 3.2 Build 0303


Recommended Posts

Foxit Reader is the only eligible alternative reader/viewer for PDF files (eBooks). It's free, smaller, faster, and cleaner. And it starts up immediately, so you don't need to wait the annoying "Welcome" screen to disappear. Foxit PDF Reader is extremely easy to use, just double click it to start and then click open button to open your PDF document. If you want to print, click on "Print" button. If you want to setup the page layout for printing, select "Print Setup" from "File" menu. Foxit Reader supports Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7. Unlike Adobe? Reader, this one has size about than 2.5 MB, needs no installation and opens up immediately. You don't need to go throught lengthy installation process to start using Foxit PDF Reader, just UNZIP the downloaded "pdfrd.zip" package into any place you want, then run PDFReader.exe. You can set Foxit PDF Reader as your default PDF reader, so you can double click on PDF files to open them within Foxit PDF Reader.

The following is a list of compelling advantages of Foxit Reader:

? Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is only 2.5 MB which is a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 MB 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.

Foxit Reader Pro is the professional version of Foxit Reader, the popular free PDF reader.

Foxit Reader Pro supports all features provided in Foxit Reader, and includes the following functions:

* Annotation

* Text viewer and text converter

* Form filler

* Spell checker

* Advanced editing tools, including loupe tool, measure tools, image tool, file attachment tool, link tools, annotation selection tool, and more

Actually without Pro Pack, you are still able to annotate a PDF document and print it out. However when you save the annotated document, it will be stamped with an evaluation mark on the top-right corner of the annotated pages. If you purchase a Pro Pack add-on, then there will be no evaluation mark.

What's new in Version 3.2:

New features:

* Undo and Redo. Allows users to easily correct mistakes by cancelling their previous actions and quickly adding back in changes made with the Undo option, this makes it convenient for users to revoke their performances and enables better editing requirements.

* Expand Current Bookmark. Click the Expand Current Bookmark icon to expand nested bookmarks and highlight the bookmark of the current page.

* Grayscale Printing. Reader 3.2 supports to print in grayscale, using many shades of gray to represent subtle variations in color and light.

* Speed up printing. Foxit Reader has optimized the printing feature, improving the speed of printing dramatically.

* Logical Page Number Support. Display the physical and logical page number on the status bar at the bottom of the working area, enabling you to go right to the desired page fast and accurately.

What's new in version 3.2:

You can no longer unselect some of the spyware in the installer ... :(

Such as?

(Note: I'm not going to use Foxit Reader myself. I'm merely curious as to which 'spyware' it comes with.)

have they fixed the text rendering from not being aliased crap 50% of the time yet ? And is the searh even 1/10th as good as the adobe reader search yet.

heck back when I worked support and we used PDF service manuals, despite the underpowered computer we had, it was impossible to use foxit, it's search was useless compared to the awesoem document search in adobe reader, and the pdf we didn't need to search had the horrible text feature.

What's new in version 3.2:

You can no longer unselect some of the spyware in the installer ... sad.gif

Edit: Also ... the installer is 6.60mb

Incorrect. You can still deselect all the "spyware" when installing. This installs just as 3.1.4 did. It does not force you to install anything. Also, 6.60 megs is nothing. Still a supremely fast PDF reader.

Sadly not...

PDF -XChange Viewer is a lot better at rendering text than Fox-It Reader I've found

I was talkign about the even worse text rendering issues it has on some pdf's though, where it's literally unreadable, as it all looks like low res garbled aliased crap. a bug which they never managed to fix.

Do they not do a no-install version anymore?

Yeah I copied the folder from my desktop to laptop (so no install on laptop) worked still.

Ive been using FoxIT for a long while, quite enjoy it, mainly for the text editing, love just filling out forms or writing over scanned in docs, very handy.

For whoever complained about the banner, its tiny as all hades, whilst its clearly your choice to use the software or not, who gives the toss about a tiny banner for a free and handy piece of software.

Sadly not...

PDF -XChange Viewer is a lot better at rendering text than Fox-It Reader I've found

Tools > Page Display > Display texts optimized for LCD screen

has any effect on this or not ?

WARNING:

The latest FoxitReader 3.2 installs the Ask toolbar spyware without user's consent realmad.gifrealmad.gif

the foxit reader executable Foxit Reader.exe is increased to 9969 KB

Try to open a PDF from the Internet and click on the search button, the Ask toolbar will appear:

asktoolbar.png

Um.... no, it doesn't. I've got this downloaded and running. Opened a PDF from the web and no Ask toolbar. Perhaps you missed a box when installing. Don't spread FUD.

It's not the Ask toolbar, it's an Ask button in Foxit Reader's Find toolbar. You can't disable it.

Foxit Reader 3.1 already had an unobstrusive "Search in Internet" button (that used Ask.com), but they replaced it in 3.2 with a graphically aggressive "red pill" Ask button, and that visual pollution borders on unwanted advertising. Until Foxit gets the message that we don't want a mandatory distracting red Ask.com button in the Find toolbar, stick to 3.1.

Andoes it go away if you pay for it ?

I'm not fan of foxit, but if it does, stop your whining, it's a free program that someone spent a lot of time coding.

Personally with the speed and quality of todays Adobe reader I see no need for this. BUT without apps like these the adobe reader might still be a resource hog of another dimension

Pay for a PDF reader? Excuse me?

Foxit Reader comes bundled with the Ask.com toolbar. But it's an optional install, so fair enough. Key word here is "optional." Therefore, if I chose not to install the Ask.com toolbar, don't slap an Ask.com ad button right in Foxit Reader itself.

yes, pay for, you know the way you also get rid of the banners and such.

They spent time coding this, and need to be paid for their work, if you're not willign to pay for it, be happy they let you use it for free at the cost of ONE TINY button. Seriously, kids nowadays thing everything shoudl be handed to them on a silver platter.

if this isn't good enough for you, use the official reader, wich is free and doesn't have a search button, has better document search and don't screw up on a lot of pdf documents.

and again, they didn't install the toolbar, but they have a ask powered search in the app itself, and the button for this helps keep this app free.

Not happy with this, well then code your own free foxit/pdf reader clone.

    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
