That’s because AR can run program code embedded in the PDF, even though that makes it a security nightmare. It even sometimes makes printing them out a real problem.įoxit Reader doesn’t completely replace the full functionality of Adobe Reader. If only we could persuade people not to embed things like video and tables in PDFs in the first place. Unless you deal only with older and text-only (or will not need to search them) documents, Adobe has you by the ****s it seems unfortunately and is not letting up on introducing new features constantly, to keep alternates to it’s own PDF programs at bay. I eventually gave in and had to go back to Reader, despite all of it’s drawbacks. The other one that caused me problems was that PDFs that used the more advanced features of Adobe, like tables and even worse, were not supported in Foxit and the layout would be wrong, or even an error message saying it could not cope with parts of the documents. The biggest differences I found were that Foxit did not include OCR, so scanned documents could be searched for text and the text would never be found, even if you could see it there yourself. This was not true the last time I tried Foxit – But it could have changed since then of course.
Yes, other Adobe products will continue to work as normal after Acrobat Reader is un-installed.
Yes, Foxit Reader will do everything that Acrobat Reader does.
No, it’s not hard to get rid of Acrobat Reader… just un-install it from within Control Panel > Programs and Features.
