bludgard Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Foxit reader ..., when this thread started it was 1.2Mb, it now weighs in at 11.6 ,... That is quite a bit of growth. Is it justified/reasonable? Or just fat on the fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Is it justified ? Depends on your point of view, if you just want a bare bones pdf reader then the answer is no, but the project is funded by sales of the pro version and that I suspect is driven by user/client surveys and people wanting the kitchen sink approach and the new product with new features regardless of whether or not they ever use them.I prefer the more focused approach which is why I stopped updating Foxit some time ago.

Belatucadrus Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you want back to basics there's always Cool PDF reader at 650Kb it's really basic but does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 The shame about the Foxit reader improvements is that with each iteration it gets more bloated and closed to Adobe reader, when this thread started it was 1.2Mb, it now weighs in at 11.6 , the justification for using it gets less with each new version.I now use this :-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatra_PDFSumatra - a free, open source, lightweight PDF, DjVu, XPS, CBZ and CBR reader for Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I, too, have become disillusioned with Foxit Reader. I've just downloaded Sumatra as suggested by Boris and, so far, find it excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinopt Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I agree with most of the recent comments. Been using Foxit for some time but it turned into bloatware.Sumatra.. love it. Small, compact and fast. Hasn't crashed.. yet :-)Too bad it doesn't have PDF editing.. it would have been the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maikhan Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I already use it. Foxit is very small in size that's what I love about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoJ.Federico Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 It is really a good and light PDF reader, it works fast. There lots of other PDF reader software are used acrobat and adobe are very popular among all these, some users use nitro pdf reader also and find it good.
