When it comes to PDF readers, the abundance of free and competent titles
suggests that the need for anymore is unnecessary. The Foxit PDF Reader is,
however, slightly different.
With a download size of less than 2.5MB, Foxit is an extremely light and
speedy PDF reader with an almost non-existent installation process.
This makes it extremely portable; just slip it on a USB key or CD and you can
use it anywhere with little fuss.
Unlike many mainstream readers, Foxit is not resident on your PC so it
doesn't sap anymore memory than it should. Obviously, this does mean fewer
features but the simplicity and portability of the software easily makes up for
this shortfall.
Note that this v2 release is much more than a PDF reader. Some of the new
features include a form designer (but some of these features are evaluation only
with this Reader Edition), enhanced zoom tools, spell-checker for PDF forms, an
improved IE-plugin and much more.
The latest v2.3 ships with a host of new features, including support for
audio/visual elements within your PDF document.
