Foxit Reader 3.1 – Fastest PDF Viewer

Posted by

Adobe Reader is probably the most popular PDF viewer. I’m not sure if every Windows PC is already installed with this because when we bought 2 laptops, they already have Adobe Reader installed. I don’t enjoy using it because it’s really slow and when I open PDF, my computer suddenly slow down! Good thing I discovered that there’s a better PDF viewer and a really good substitute for the annoying Adobe Reader, and that is Foxit Reader.

Foxit Reader is a free PDF document viewer, with incredible small size, breezing-fast launch speed and rich feature set.

As a small and fast PDF viewer, Foxit Reader currently has over 90 million users all around the world. Now, Foxit Reader 3.1 has been released and introduces many fascinating new features  including internet search and favorite toolbar settings.

What are the cool features of Foxit Reader:

1. Incredibly small: The download size of Foxit Reader is just a fraction of Acrobat Reader 20 M size.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Text converter: You may convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.

5. 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 doesn’t need any installation, so you can start to run it as soon as you’ve downloaded it. If you didn’t like it, you can just delete it immediately. However, I have never come across someone that doesn’t like it.
