In my case, the Adobe uninstall mucked up the opening of PDFs (even though I'd previously set Foxit Reader as the default program for opening PDFs):

It'll kick & scream and screw up your PDF associations as much as it can, leaving a big mess in your house, scratching your paintwork with screeching fingernails and hanging onto your doorframe while you try to shove it out the door. If after you've tried Foxit you want to uninstall Adobe Reader, note that horrid horrid anti-social Adobe Reader won't get its claws out of your computer without a fight.

Tip and troubleshootingFirst general PDF tip - if you use Firefox (and if not why on earth not? ) then get the free PDF Download Firefox extension, it makes handling PDFs so much easier ( Firefox extension installation howto). Though I've not tried it myself and am unlikely to have call for it as I won't be doing fancy forms, there's also Javascript support in the free version. It allows you to easily reuse the texts scattered among images and tables in a PDF document." This is what it looks like after choosing the text viewer:Īnd you can convert a PDF to text by a Save As:
The Text Viewer, as Foxit put it, lets you "work on all PDF documents in pure text view. There's even a special Text Viewer mode in the free version you can access via the toolbar: But the free version of Reader's got enough features for most of us: You have to pay for the Pro version if you want more advanced features (they call that Foxit Reader Pro Pack - see what add-ons are free or must be paid for e.g. It also (sort of) works with Firefox, but see below.Īnd of course it works as a stand alone application:
The trick is to get rid of the box, click in the document and use F3 to move to the next hit.) (Tip - in IE the search box seems greyed out if you want to use Alt-f or Enter to find the next term. It works in Internet Explorer (I have IE 7):

Decent manual (in PDF of course), which also includes an Appendix listing keyboard shortcuts, yay!.Enough keyboard shortcuts even for a keyboard fanatic like me (Alt-1 toggles the bookmarks sidebar by the way).No more Adobe Reader sneakily hiding in the background even after I think I've closed it down, and stymying my PC shutdown.No more browser crashes - not Firefox, not even Internet Explorer (not caused by Adobe Reader, anyway).PDFs open up a zillion times more quickly (or even a Gillian times, a unit which a friend and I maintain is much better than a billion, or even a zillion).Pros - Faster, FoxitCat! Go! Go!Foxit has massively improved my productivity, efficiency and blood pressure: But if you uninstall Adobe after you've got Foxit in place, Adobe will do its best to screw up your PDF file associations even as you try to consign it to oblivion. You can always reinstall Adobe later if you prefer it, it's still free.

Tip: if you want to try Foxit as your PDF reader, uninstall Adobe Reader first, then install Foxit. I've been using it for about 4 months now.
So I said "Foxit!" to Adobe, downloaded the free Foxit Reader 2.0 for Windows (there's a Linux version too), and set that as my default reader for the PDF or Portable Document Format files that are ubiquitous on the Net ( download Foxit Reader, Foxit Reader user manual). (See other Adobe Reader criticisms on Wikipedia).
#Free foxit reader remove pages update
Having had it up to here with bloated Adobe Acrobat Reader crashing both Internet Explorer and Firefox and stalling my computer and always trying to update itself, as if it wasn't monstrous enough already, I decided to give up on it altogether. Don't use Foxit if you have a vulnerable version, until it's upgraded - and obviously get the upgrade ASAP! This vulnerability is supposed to be fixed in the version 2.3 build 2912 to be released "shortly". UPDATE May 2008: there's a security hole in Foxit Reader version 2.3 build 2825 and possibly previous versions.
