foxit

Baz · May 15, 2009, 18:15:26

any one who uses Foxit could you just try this for me please.

I have just checked for upgrades and chose some to install one of them was for the main prog itself I think, when I now try to go to check which version I am on, Help/About Foxit Reader it stalls for ages and shows nothing, I see a very quick flash of something but cant make out what it is.

The title bar says im using V3.0 which I was before the update so was wondering how much more is added 3.0.****** or whatever

thanks

Mine has 3.0 build 1506

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:18:20

I have v3.0, build 1506, Baz. I don't get a stall on doing a Help > About.

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:18:33

Nearly, Lance.

Baz · May 15, 2009, 18:19:13

thanks . must be my machine then

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:19:35

Uninstall and re-install, Baz?

Baz · May 15, 2009, 18:24:58

done that Rik. re-boot did a fresh download too and still same after that

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:25:31

Might be worth looking in the registry for any remnants...

Lance · May 15, 2009, 18:33:12

Edit - just twigged!

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:33:49

where abouts Rik and what am I looking for

Lance · May 15, 2009, 18:43:26

I would uninstall it and then in regedit do 'edit > find' for foxit.

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:44:17

What Lance said, Baz.

Baz · May 15, 2009, 18:44:28

is it safe to delet any foxit finds in the registry

Rik · May 15, 2009, 18:45:22

Yes, perfectly.

Not one to go on a tangent from the tangents that have already appeared, but I hate to speak on topic. Nevertheless, I'll do it.

In my opinion, Foxit isn't as good as it was. PDFXchange viewer is better

We use that at work - being able annotate PDFs is very handy for us. It is quite speedy as well!

DOH!!!!!!!!!!! thats threw a spanner in hasnt it

I always found Foxit to be good well compared to when I was using Acrobat which I seemed to start getting bother with, hence the switch.

I'll have to take a look at this new one now then

whats it like

Rik · May 16, 2009, 09:01:50

I'll tell you later, Baz.

Rik · May 16, 2009, 09:44:33

I like it, Steve, it feels much snappier and more professional.

Lance · May 16, 2009, 10:02:28

Foxit has now been uninstalled!

Baz · May 16, 2009, 11:35:16

Am trying it today. seems ok fast,clean looking. I like the preview option when you open a file.

Rik · May 16, 2009, 11:36:00

It's got a lot going for it, hasn't it, Baz.

Baz · May 16, 2009, 13:46:35

looks good yeah. might keep Foxit for a while see how it goes.Noticed in the files downloaded that theres a 'Shell Extensions Setup.exe' file.whats that and does it need to be installed

Lance · May 16, 2009, 13:56:00

Not sure to be honest, Baz. I've not run it yet and will hang on for a while. As it all seems to be working fine I guess I'll leave it!
